Wrinkly skin !
I'm 67 years old and I've been on Enbrel injections for the last 20 months and it's doing a great job all on it's own. I'm not totally pain free but, bearable. No flare-ups for over a year but, I have noticed that my skin is looking old, thin and wrinkly just lately, more like what I would consider to

Anyone on Tocilizumab
I have had RD for approx 20years, my consultant recommended Tocilizumab infusions after Enbrel injections stopped working, but I have yet to discuss this with anyone at the clinic. I have been on various other medication such as MTX, Hydrox and had to come off those due to side effects. I would appreciate

Anyone taking biologics--effects on liver tests?
Anyone taking biologics like enbrel, humira, remicade or other drugs like orencia to treat another autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis or crohne's? If so, did your liver enzymes go down as well? Just wondering this anecdotally since these are becoming standard treatment for many AI diseases

Herpes?
I recently posted about a rash I've developed, which I first thought might be shingles. Went to my GP on monday to be told that he thinks the rash is caused by a cold sore virus and prescribed antivirals. What a relief, or so I first thought! Apparently, I've since found out that it's more than probable

Some great news today for RD people
I have been missing for a while, but I want to wish everyone A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS, as pain free as possible :-) Great news today about possible new treatment for RD. IT's a real eye opener and I'm find it difficult to imagine how a little magnet inserted into the spleen can help in the treatment of

UTI?
I have been experiencing UTI symptoms for two months. One out of five samples came back needing antibiotic treatment. Today I saw my GP and she is saying it could be the RD. I'm on Enbrel injections and my specialist nurse said they can cause infection. This is making me feel unwell and worn down as

Think I might have shingles!?
A couple of days ago I noticed a small patch of raised rash on the inside of my right buttock, which has since spread downward in a sort of irregular broken line. I can't see it myself but my wife says it looks angry with small blisters, a few of which have puss in them. We've looked at some shingle

thank you and a question about enbrel
I should have replied earlier but thank you for all your replies when I wrote about how low I was. Well things are still up and down but I have spoken to the Dr and I have now had two weeks of Enbrel. Unfortunately I have come out in injection site rashes this week, in fact Tuesday when I was due for

Eye issues
I've been/am having slight problems with my left eye over the last month or so. First off was a small cyst inside the lower eyelid, which was diagnosed by my optician. She also gave my eyes a good going over and could find nothing wrong. The cyst dispersed after a week or so. A fortnight later I felt

Seeing another Consultant!
Hi My consultants seem to change more frequently than the weather. I am scheduled to see a new one on the 2/2/2015. Although I am a confident person I tend to always forget the types of questions I should ask so any advise will be greatly received. I've been taking enbrel for just over a month now

Info on orencia
Hi everyone, Is anyone on orencia and methotrexate? I am being switched from Enbrel to orencia and am a little frightened of this drug. It seems the older you are, taking this drug, the higher the chance of cancer. Any information or personal experience on this drug, will be very much appreciated.

The Coals are cooling down - update
After my last post, I really hit rock bottom. In my case this means that I could barely use the loo, couldn't hold a cup, turn a tap, clean my teeth properly or shift around in bed. I was either too rigid or the pain was so excruciating that my protective brain simply wouldn't allow me to do that to

Methotrexate and Enbrel together
Taking methotrexate in combination with Enbrel .Have been injecting Enbrel for approx 6 years and is still working well, however my new rheumatologist suggested that I take a low dose methotrexate as well to prolong the efficacy of Enbrel. Would like to know other people's experience of this.

Help or a hug
Am in a sorry state. Have had RA for 2 and a half years. Am on 20mg mtx, sulphasazalene was added, which did not seem to help so I was put on Enbrel in February 2014. I felt fantastic, pain and fatigue went but I had site re-actions to the injections. They were bigger each week and I did check with

Enbrel injection site reactions
Hi I was just wondering if any of you have had this. 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
