Is Enbrel subsidised in spain or will I have to pay?
I am moving to Barcelona and i am currently on
Enbrel
, i was wonderting if anyone knows if I would have to pay for it in spain or if I can get it subsidised. I know the health care is free but i am not sure about medicine. I get it free in ireland on the high tech medical scheme.

Bad day - Just tired of fighting
I'm waiting to start on Cimzia after failing on
Enbrel
and then an unsuccessful attempt on Humira so that is probably not helping. I feel constantly fluey and completely knackered. I think I may be in the early stages of the menopause so that doensn't help either.

Poor Doctor!!!
He swapped my
Enbrel
to Humira, he increased my arava and said something strange but lovely and reassuring.

Newbie to the site but old hand at dealing with RA. This is my story...
However,
Enbrel
failed at the beginning of this year and, after trying Humira for 4 months, my Biologics nurse has recommended I change to Cimzia which I begin in 4 weeks. I'm by no means well.

Is anyone taking Simponi? If so how did you get on? Did you have any side effects? Is it or did it work for you.
I was on
Enbrel
, but the injection site reactions where getting too big and annoying! Any information on simponi and what other drugs you are taking will be greatly received. Thank you

Has anyone on an anti-tnf been able to reduce frequency of dose?or if on MTX as well, how much (if so) have you managed to lower your dose?
I'm on
enbrel
and 15mg methetrexate but now reduced to 7.5 mgs, my Consultant tells me that if that goes well then it would be considered reducing the frequency of
enbrel
, I'm delighted about this but haven't heard of anyone else having this done. Thanks :)

Total hysterectomy and HRT
Hi, interested in finding out how many of you are taking HRT or Estrogen only treatment after hysterectomy for endo? I've just been prescribed evorel 50 after having my last ovary removed but am worried about taking Estrogen only and the endo coming back. Is anyone else taking HRT, please let me know

ups and downs
They had taken me of my
Enbrel
and Arava as there has been (if you remember) a lot of problems with my neck and shoulders and I had an mri scan. He looked at the results and was worried! Told me I would have to see Neurosurgeon quickly!

constant queasiness? mtx and enbrel?
Hello again, I stopped my meds 5 weeks ago for a few weeks due to infection and re-started 2 weeks ago, since then I've had this queasiness, almost like morning sickness, I even did a pregnancy test just to make sure I wasn't! I only had this previously in mtx day, we did all have a sickness bug

Enbrel needles
I have been on
Enbrel
plus methatrexate for 3 years and it has transformed my life and I am so grateful that I am on it. But has anyone over the last few months had any problem with blunt needles?

Here again - still atroshing.
I collect the increased dose of MTX today (now at the maximum of 25 mgs) and the driver has been with my delivery of
Enbrel
. He was early this morning and very cheerful as usual. Forgot to give him my full sharps box so that will have to wait another 6 weeks!

Started Rituximab today
I started back on
enbrel
in january and initially it seemed to be working but very slowly then I got a minor infection that wouldn't go away after I'd had it nearly 4 weeks my rheumy nurse decided I had to have a week off the
enbrel
and have antibiotics.

RA Success
I take
Enbrel
and it has made such a difference to my life. I have been taking in for about 7 years and have had few side effects. My recent bloods showed ESR only 8 and CRP 1, my DAS28 score is 1.71 which relects the excellent ongoing response to the anti-TNF therapy.

I am about to start Orencia, anyone with experience of it? I would welcome your comments good or bad.
I am on mtx, about to beg. inj. also plaquenil, plus bits and bobs, I had a limited success with
enbrel
and rtx. and funding is just being applied for me to have orencia. It involves me travelling, an hour each way for infusions, but if it works well it will be worth it.

just to let you know
So to cut a long story short she says my RA is still unstable and that i should continue with my
Enbrel
but change sulphalsalizine after a month break off it to leflunomide. So work now know that I'm still unstable, need mri scan, change of mediation, acupuncture and physio.

Shoulder Replacement Operation Success,
Although I see my Rehumy Consultant on the NHS as I take
Enbrel
and it is very expensive, she called into see me in the private hospital on her way home from work at the NHS hospital, at 8.40p.m. That's dedication. Things feel promising.

Could you get taken of Anti tnf if you have contstant colds, coughs ect?
I've been signed off now for a couple of weeks but no improvement, I'm worried that I'll be taken of
Enbrel
but compared to RA having a cold is nothing! I'm on 15mg of MTX as well. Cheers :)

I am comng off Leflunomide and the plan is to begin Enbrel Self Injection. Has anyone any comments about Enbrel...pro or con?
I saw my RA doctor yesterday and she began the tests required to qualify me for
Enbrel
...TB test, Hepatitus, etc. Also, she has to check with Medicare and my supplement insurance to find out if there are any restrictions related to my taking
Enbrel
, such as frequency of dosage etc.

Enbrel Cooler Bag?
I have travelled with
Enbrel
for some years in a cool bag but it only lasts a day. I have heard of a bag which holds
enbrel
pre-filled syringes which lasts for 48 hours which is available in USA. Anyone know of one available here? Muffin.
