Experiences with

Onbrez

Hi all,My first biologic was Enbrel and I was on it for over six years. I thought it was a miracle drug and it gave me my life back, that was until I was switched to a biosimilar called Erelzi. I was then switched to Abdumilibab(hope I spelt that right). After injecting that for a good time I found that

I have just changed onto Orencia and the info in the leaflet makes no mention of how long it can be out of the fridge for. With Enbrel I had weeks so could go away without hauling cool bags with me, which was great. If going for a weekend could just pop sysringe in handbag. But with Orencia? Anyone

Hi ,I have rheumatoid arthritis since I'm 24. Not diagnosed until I was 30, so years of untreated damage. Had a bad flare with my hand last year changed me from enbrel to orencia. Thankfully it worked. Have dry eye and have been put on Ikervis drops also immunesuppresent. I feel absolutely wrecked

Hi, I've had RA since MAR 2023. I take weekly injections of Enbrel and find that sometimes this is followed with extreme and oppressive tiredness. At first I thought it might just be the RA causing this but there seems to be a real correlation to the injection and the tiredness. The Enbrel works and

question for you all, what do you take for breakthrough pain? I’m on enbrel, methotrexate and flexeril. Take acetaminophen and ibuprofen and naproxen as needed. But my back is just giving me a fit the last few days. Been next to impossible to even move. I wrote to my rheumatologist to ask for tramadol

Well I've been back on my meds for 6 weeks now. I'm doing really well on methotrexate and enbrel as well as flexeril for breakthrough pain. I have some pain that I know meds just won't help and that's ok. But overall I like to think I'm doing well. Anyways I found out today that while I was off the meds

Dear All, I am trying to find out whether it is safe to drink an ordinary cup of green tea a day whilst on Methotrexate tablets. Obviously not on day of MTX. Does anyone drink green tea regularly? Or can it interact with MTX? Apparently it is ok to drink with Enbrel weekly injections. Grateful

hi! Thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Ashley 34 female. I have Ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and psoriasis. I’m on enbrel and methotrexate and have flexeril as needed. My pain is mostly well controlled other than my left leg which has permanent damage due to my si joint

it’s a long while since I was here, and glad to see familiar names still ploughing on. I had years of remission but last two have not been so good and now on the floor. I know it’s rude to just suddenly reappear and rant, but hope you understand. Have been through several unsuccessful changes of

Dear All, Please may I ask re above meds, if anyone has experienced skin problems? looks like eczema patches on arms and legs. And also another problem with Enbrel and Ovarian Dermoid Cysts. My daughter has suffered with Ovarian Dermoid Cysts since discovered in 2015. She started Enbrel only from

Dear All, Please may I ask if E45 creams are fine to use on Eczema patches instead of steroid creams. Or is there a really good over the counter cream for this type of condition, whilst taking RA drugs:Enbrel and Methotrexate too. Thank you

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 I’m 44 and I have psoriatic arthritis since I was 23 and psoriasis since I was about 16 I started Enbrel when I was 30 and helped tremendously for 11 years then stopped working so was changed to IMRALDI about 1.5 years on that and i started to have injections site reaction was changed to Benapali

Hi allI have just had my 3rd injection of Tyenne Biosimilar after being on Tocilizimab since approx 2019. My skin has become much more sensitive in the last couple of weeks. I have had a rash on my neck and chest, and now my arms. I also have been feeling prickly on my head and getting hotter than normal

Dear All, I would be very grateful for others experiences whilst on a weekly Biologic prefilled and weekly Methotrexate tablets with Folic Acid 5mg 6 days a week. My daughter is 32 years old and having a Laparoscopy Operation to remove bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts on 16 May. When should she come

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). I had several biologic treatments , some of which did not really control the RA well… The best biologic was Enbrel (Etanercept) weekly injections. It gave me my life back for 14 years until I had my second knee replacement operation

Hello, I have had ra for 15 years now, been on meds for 10. Been on Enbrel injection and methotrexate and have all been fine until last year . 2 years. Apparently I am prei menopausal and my physio mentioned that you could be on RA drugs for years and they work fine but you hit pre menopause and it stops

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 all, I need to make a trip in 2 weeks to thailand and the travelling time will be around 16 -17 hours. It will also be my first time travelling with the pens, and I'm a bit freaked out. I have the DR letter, the supply and all in order but I dont know which the most efficient way to carry it
