9 months on MTX, 5 months on Enbrel. Nothing is working.
Since doctors can't seem to heal me, I'm back asking for advice here in the forum. I'm basically trying to figure out what's next for me. It's now been 9 months on MTX and 5 months on Enbrel. I feel worse than ever. Extreme all-over pain, upset stomach, depression, anxiety, etc. A brief history of my

anti tnf and biologics
When I first went on anti tnf I was very frightened as I had read literature about the side effects, I made an appointment with rheumy nurse and she said that the chance of getting the serious side effects were akin to walking out of the hospital and being struck by lightning, they have to tell you about

Still have a dry mouth...is it the Enbrel?
Hi all, Hope your all doing as well as can be expected. So the cotton mouth 🐯 I posted before about how after falling asleep sometimes(once a week ish)I have woken up with an extremely dry throat. It's so dry it can tickle and cause me to sneeze or I have to keep swallowing until it comes back to normal

Biologic Question
Hello, hoping one of our fellow members who is knowledgable in biologics can answer my question. Enbrel only treats RA Remicade treat both RA and Crohns Why? They are both TNF blockers and both work the same way. Is it just that Enbrel wasn’t specifically tested on Crohns? Is Remicade a more powerful

Enbrel & Appetite Loss
Hello all:) I've done 4 weekly injections of Enbrel so far and while I believe it is starting to kick in, I'm definitely experiencing a loss of appetite and mild nausea. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for me, just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? Wishing all a pain free day:) Maddi

My esr is 96 on Sulfasalazine and methotrexate, so my dosage has been raised. I now take sulfasalazine twice a day and my methotrexate was doubled. I was, also, given

Trying to reclaim my body
Enbrel injections were prescribed about 2 yrs ago and seemed to work well for quite a few months but then my legs started to itch and feel so hot, had to bathe them in cold water and cream them--they drove me mad. Eventually stopped injections to see if that made a difference and boy did it,. Has anyone

Osteoarthritis and rhumathoid
Hi for over three years I have had both conditions been on lots of different meds which top my blood count or liver. I am now on hydroxycloriqyin mild side which they say prob won't help much but I can't tolerate anything else. They have discussed biological Enbrel but day it's to expensive to prescribe

Enbrel newbie
Hi all, Took my 2nd 50mg injection of Enbrel 2 nights ago. Spent most of yesterday in bed, completely wiped out. Also had terrific bilateral knee and ankle pain through the day and night even with maloxicam and tylenol. Feeling a little better today but still fatigued. I'm wondering if this is Enbrel

I'm new here RA sufferer
I have RA in both wrists. Pain is unbearable at times. Currently on Methotrexate 12.5mg.Hydrox and 5mg Prednisilone. Not working so rheumy suggest biological Enbrel. Makes awful reading with possible side effects inc cancer! and keeping vials chilled while travelling is daunting. Any comments of suggestions

Enbrel Advice
My rheumatologist is trying to get insurance approval to put me on Enbrel. If you've taken it, how did it work for you and what advice can you give me? Did you experience side effects? I'm eager to hear from you, the people who know best about these things. Thank you!

Biologics Feedback, please:)
Hello! Due to side effects, I'm scaling back on Methotrexate and my rheumy doc is going to add Humira, Enbrel or Remicade. I have an appointment with him next week to discuss the options. Would love to hear your experiences with these drugs, both positive and negative. I also take plaquenil and meloxicam
