Has anyone been taken off methatrexate because they were doing well on an anti-tnf?
Hello, after 9 weeks on
enbrel
and 15mg of MXT, I am doing very well, my consultant mentioned as I was leaving that in 3 months he will review and start to lower dose if things keep improving, this is great news as you'll all understand the horrors of this meds.

great blood test results?
I feel the best since diagnosed last Feb, started
enbrel
5 weeks ago, only swollen knuckles, wrists and feet but only after resting for a while....few aches and pain but nothing compared to what it has been. Surely this my meds are working, any opinions?

I get terrible Itching on my back, to the point I scratch the skin raw. Is this related to anti tnf treatments or pain killers?
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and was on Humira and Methotrexate injections but due to raised liver function tests they stopped the Methotrexate and changed the Humira to
Enbrel
.
Enbrel
was okay at first (started in January) but now I have niggley problems creeping in.

Back ache - Lung infection!!
pain killers (as advised) so I wouldnt notice the milder symptoms, and to be honest I think the more pain we suffer the higher our pain tolerance is, I really did belive it was back pain, I probably made it worse because I didnt know it was an infection I had continued to inject mu methotrexate and

Did enbrel make anyone else cry?!
I gave myself my third
Enbrel
jab on Monday and couldn't stop crying for a day or two. Really emotional. It has had made no improvement as yet and in fact joints have been worse. Has anyone else experienced the blues on
Enbrel
? Nurse is coming again on Monday so will talk to her.

Crossing the Line
Three years of this says the rheumatologist (at least, of the methotrexate, hopefully not that much
Enbrel
? I don't know.) There’s no going back. This RA has become very, very real. Very, very fast. I shooed my daughter out of the kitchen a moment too late.

Ordinary Miracles
I've been quiet for a while as I let the methotrexate and
enbrel
soak in, and knock on wood, it's doing wonders!! It's only been a month, and I am feeling really good. I am also weaning off the predisone (I swear it makes me crankier than usual).

Aggressive Targeted B cell Approach to RA
It went something along the lines of... the consultant does not want you on
Enbrel
he wants you on Mabthira. Ive booked you in for the 6/6/2011 and you will be recieving a letter. So why has my consultant deviated from standard NICE protocol in my case?

Pain in shins - is it related to RA or fibromalgia?
Take
Enbrel
and hydroxicloriquin. Fairly frequently get sharp pains in both shins, particularly when lying down. No one seems to be able to tell me why, but have noticed other questions here about shin pain. Anyone got any ideas if this is linked to RA or not?

Rheumatology ... ... DIY?
Already had two anti-tnfs so can’t go further down that road and also if I come off
Enbrel
to ‘try’ Rituximab I can’t then go back on it at a future date. As the
Enbrel
does work, just not on its own, seems a shame to give it up.

Today I am absolutely positive!
Prednisolone has been the main stay throughout and
Enbrel
has worked well combined with Methotrexate. Last year Methotrexate gave up causing a load of problems en route! Now the ruddy disease runs its own course. The rheumatologist is now concerned (or perhaps that’s just me!)

Onward and upward?
I researched both
Enbrel
and Humira but to be honest I just don't want to move up the chain so quick. I've had some very good advice from a lot of sources (including an Indian rheumatologist on Twitter!)

The Sun Factor
Had
enbrel
as soon as I got back (just as I was feeling great, back to reality). Does anyone else feel better with sunshine? All doctors I've spoken to say it's a fallacy that warmer weather helps.

After how long since diagnosis did your RA become better controlled or in remission?
I think I am feeling a little more fed up too as my anti tnf nurse told me to expect a big change in my ra and mobility within a month of starting
Enbrel
and still I feel no difference! So just want to know if and when you started to feel any better? Julie xx

A Trip to the Locum
Big mistake, next day I was coughing and sneezing and couldn't take
Enbrel
Injection No 11. Sooooo near and yet so far. I will get past 12 and let it kick in but it could kill me in the process. Next day I went to the doctor.

Enbrel, side effects and anxiety?
Has anyone suffered anxiety with
enbrel
? never had this strange feeling like this, waiting for the doctor to ring back. I had my first injection last Friday. I feel axious, not quite myself but healthwise the best I've been in ages.

I never learn
Haven't had my
Enbrel
because of the cold. Might take it later today but will see how I feel. Older lab Tilly for company during the night as Himself started coughing at 2 a.m. so went off to the spare room again. To cap it all, found Minniecat my Burmese had been sick everywhere this morning.
