Enbrel injection site reactions
I've been in
etanercept
since the end of August 2014. I've noticed recently it's become more painful to inject then since Friday (my injection day) I've had bruising and a red itchy patch which seems to have grown. I read some where it should go after 3 days but if it gets worse contact a dr.

About to start Etanercept (Enbrel) injections - any helpful tips?
I am about to start
Etanercept
injections (also taking MTX hydroxychloroquine, predisolone 10mg, tramadol etc) for RA/lupus overlap. I was wondering if anyone could give me their stories. What side effects, did it work, how long did it take to work etc. All comments gratefully received.

Life without Methotrexate?
I inject Enbrel/
Etanercept
once a week and I'm supposed to be injecting Methotrexate once a week also. I have taken the Methotrexate on and off for the last 3 years. It makes me feel ill......very tired, lethargic and sick.

Rheumatoid arthritis, pain is back with new symptoms
after a long ordeal through doctors, drugs without any effect such as Cortisone, Chloroquine and Arava or too many side effects like Methotrexate plus strong pain that lead me to pass a long time stuck in bed, finally in 2011, I was given the green light to try the new biological treatment Enbrel (

Weight gain and Lipomas, are they linked to anti TNF treatment?
My meds are 50mg
Etanercept
(Enbrel), 20mg morphine daily, Leflunomide 20mg daily, Lansaprazole 30mg twice daily, Metformin 500mg twice daily, Atenolol 25mg daily, Amitriptyline 50mg daily, Oxybutynin 5mg daily and pregabalin 150mg daily. With this cocktail I think I should be glowing in the dark.

Two ex-rays and the go ahead with Etanercept (Enbrel) .......
But, the best news is that I've been given the go-ahead for
Etanercept
(Enbrel). A nurse will come to my house for the first injection and then I'm on my way :-) I am so hoping that this is going to be positive for me, but I'm not going to worry myself about that.

Hi, anyone else getting eczema flares on anti-tnf therapies?
I developed really bad eczema after taking Certolizumab for about 3 months; later switched to
Etanercept
and the same again so now stopped that too. A shame, I responded well to both! I did have childhood eczema and occassional minor flares over the years but nothing like this!

About etanercept
Been suffering with a lot of side effects from
etanercept
with methotrexate, can you tell me what side effects you get and what happens with them, as experiencing some myself and are you getting help from doctors?

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RA AND ITS TREATMENT
A relatively new group of drugs are the anti-TNF drugs – adlimumab,
etanercept
and infliximab and the B-cell drug rituximab which are known as biologics. Biologics are currently only being used in people who have not responded to other disease modifying drugs.
