Experiences with

Onbrez

Hi all, I am starting Enbrel this week after having been on humira for 6 mos. I had no bad reactions with humira- it just was not controlling my RA. I guess I am not too eager to take my first shot for fear of getting sick. I am recovering from foot fusion surgery and really feel like I have no

hi all, I’ve been having a bit of a rough ride with RA recently, i don’t seem to be able to get my condition under very good control unless I take methotrexate with a biologic. I took methotrexate for 10 years (tolerated but lots of side effects) but then after 10 years the side effects became too

Hello, I have had Rheumatoid arthritis since my late 30s (77 now).

Questions a) Does anyone know if there are any alternative delivery mechanisms available for Enbrel (it seems to be possible to get 2 different mechanisms for Benepali) ? b) We live in the West Midlands, UK. Has anyone else been asked to switch meds recently? c) Price differential between Enbrel

Hi, I have had RA for approx 5 years. After bad side effects from Methotrexate, my Dr decided to try Humira injections. Humira did not work at all - no relief. The next medication to try was Enbrel. The Enbrel injections were easy and effective for awhile, but Enbrel stopped working after one year

Hi everyone I have recently changed from Baricitnib and methotrexate to tocilizumab. The reason for this is that after 11 years on methotrexate I was really struggling with side effects and I started to miss taking it as I think my body had become intolerant to it as I was feeling extremely rough with

How have people on it found it? The occurrance of thrombosis seems pretty high for instance. Also on a vain level rather

Hi I was wondering what your experience of these drugs are. My Rheumy is considering putting me on them. I was on enbrel for 17 years till it stopped working. I’ve been o.
