Ok, not very good news I'm afraid, Don't know if this is a first for this forum but am currently writing this from my hospital bed.. my son just brought my lap top in and connected to the hospital wifi network, something I'm not teched up enough to do myself. He also brought me in a bag of wine gums

Anyone know rules for stopping injections when ill?
I have some awful flu / bug. I hardly slept last night as I just could not stop coughing. I am on Mtx and Enbrel. Should I give up injections? Normally my RA is well controlled. My GP is useless. On one occasion when I asked him this question he asked what medication I was on so he could look it

I have been suffering with RA & Fibromyalgia since around yr 2000 and I went to the rheumo clinic on Thursday last & got told off as my ESR was up at 47 (as opposed to 13, on my last visit) & I have been feeling pretty rubbish for a while now. I was told that I should have called them straight away

to take meds or not to take meds...
Hi everyone, I've just been diagnosed with RA and my doc. laid out the basic Dmard plan - I am supposed to start on methotrexate and eventually add sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine. However, I have been hearing quite a lot from various sources to forget the drugs and focus on diet, excercise and

Humira
thanks to allanah and hatshepsut for your replies. allanah are you on Humira? I am going to have my next weeks injection and see how that goes. The nausea etc hasn't been quite so bad today but definately seems to get worse a while after I have eaten. I just hope that if it is side effects they will

Enbrel to Cimzia switch
hi, I have just been changed from Enbrel to cimzia as my rheumatologist thought it might work better, I was doing ok on the Enbrel though I thought, I done my first 2 injections 8 days ago and since then I have been flaring up and just getting worse, I was wondering if anyone else has changed from Enbrel

Healthcare at Home dumped - hurrah!
Having had major problem with Healthcare at Home delivering my Enbrel over the last year I was informed by my consultant last November that my health authority (Sheffield) were so fed up with the poor service being provided by H@H they were looking for an alternative delivery service. I had a phone call

Enbrel reaction
Hi, this is my first post. I was diagnosed with RA two years ago and I've tried Sulphasalazine, Methotrexate and Laflunomide but had adverse reactions to all of them. I was put on Enbrel three weeks ago and because I'm quiet sensitive to medication i.e. various antibiotics, the nurse who came to show

Midnight Ben Nevis Climb for RA
Hi guys, My name is Maxine, I am 26yrs old And have had RA for almost 4yrs. Like everyone else who has RA I have peaks and troughs with my health but have become much more stable since I started using Enbrel. As a result I like to go on hikes even if I do end up paying for it the next day. Having
