Frustrated!
I saw my rheumatologist in January and was diagnosed with RA. She prescribed Enbrel and I’m still waiting to start. The insurance keeps denying it and the doc keeps sending it back to insurance. I found out through my insurance company that the first submission for PA wasn’t done until February. Here

Waiting for Enbrel to kick in
Hi I have been on 13 weeks of enbrel after being on methotrexate for 3 years. Just couldn’t deal with side effects. My question is how long does Enbrel take to start working. I’m not feeling a lot of relief and energy level is still lousy. What would be my next biological step up drug. I had absolutely

A cautionary tale if you have neck problems
I’ve suffered from a stiff neck for as long as I can remember, it was an early RA problem for me, soon after my hands and feet. Fast forward twenty years and I started having bad headaches but I’d just started on biologics so I blamed Enbrel. It was decided that Enbrel was giving me sinus headaches but

Enbrel
Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had a skin reaction to Enbrel, I was on benapali for three months with no benefit so they put me on Enbrel, only used for 2 weeks and my legs have a massive red patch which burns and itches 😢, could post a pic, just wondering if anyone else has had this 🙁

Time to give up on Enbrel?
At the end of 2017 I was switched from Enbrel to Benepali with awful consequences. Eventually in April last year I went back on to Enbrel but it's just not been anywhere near as effective. I've switched from Mtx tabs to injections s to see if that would help but I just seem to be in a vicious circle

Hair loss with Enbrel
Has anyone gone bald while taking Enbrel or do I have to stop taking it. I’m a woman and my hair is getting very thin fast. Help

New here.
Hello, I’ve recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and I am due to start taking Enbrel in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me how quickly the medication started helping?

New here
Hello, I’m new to the group. I’m also very new in my diagnosis with RA. I’m supposed to get a pneumonia vaccine before starting Enbrel. They told me I needed to be completely better from the bronchitis and sinus infection I’ve had for weeks. I’m frustrated because the longer I go before getting the vaccine

Diet and arthritis, avoid the simplistic solution
Please be patient with me on this post. I have been trying to get my head around the following ever since I started my healing process. If you go away and don't understand a word of what I am about to say, that's fine. Please switch off if you want to! =================== I try to keep abreast of

Benepali isn’t working
Started injecting Enbrel 16 years ago. It worked well for me allowing me to live a pretty normal life. Last September I was asked switch to Benepali, I reluctantly agreed. I’ve since had regular flares, effecting feet, ankles, wrists, fingers and thumbs. I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight, have

Whining
Hi all Been having a rotten few days, headaches, stomach stuff, screaming joints, low fever. Doc says to tough it out x 7 days. As if I have a choice! Eating BRAT diet. Trying to stay hydrated. Yes I had a flu shot. This is supposedly viral. Got worse tho after my Enbrel shot on Tuesday. Coincidence

Back on Enbrel
Just to say I am back on Enbrel after discussion with Consultant who thinks that being on the drug for 15 years it was not the cause of my Myocarditis/Heart Failure. All newer Biologics carry same risks. My full flare up was more damaging. So Monday late afternoon I injected 25mgs and 24hours later I

What's after Enbrel
As you will see from last post have had heart scare and was not allowed to restart Enbrel incase it was cause. They think it was Myocardis but awaiting result of cardiac mri which was done last week. Had one depro a month ago with some effect but now in full flare. My question is! I see Ra Consultant

Embrel and Pregnancy?
Hi All, happy new year. I hope you are all doing ok. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience of staying on Enbrel during pregnancy in the 1st and 2nd trimester? My consultant said that I was able to stay on it and it says it’s ok on the NRAS website, but I have read some studies from America

Psoriatic Arthritis, Breast Cancer and Cosentyx
Has anyone had a diagnosis of breast cancer with the condition of Psoriatic Arthritis? So far, so good. . . I made it through the surgery. ONCO test results were low for recurrence, Score of 18, and now referred to Radiation Oncologist. Rheumatologist has given the go ahead to start a new biologic medication

Humira or Enbrel?
Anyone have thoughts? Benefits of one over the other? My rheumy says I can change now after the welt and redness with Hunira. I’m interested in your thoughts : a. Is one better than the other? b. Did you have any allergic reactions? Injection site reactions? c. Does Enbrel hurt to inject also? Thanks

Heart Problems
Have been on Enbrel for years and 25mgs per week was keeping me pain free then wam. Rushed into hospital with heart failure symptoms which got treated but nearly lost my life. They think it was Myocardis. Now off Enbrel. Now in pain and stiff and only allowed Ibuprofen infrequently. One minute OK then

4 Strikes (Biologics) and You're Out
I have seronegative inflamatory arthritis and have been on biologics for the last 10 years. Prior to starting biologics I could hardly walk and was in a lot of pain especially in my knees. Spent nearly 2 years on crutches and was on disability. I started with Enbrel and within days my symptoms improved

Dilemma?
I've been taking etanercept (enbrel/benepali/enbrel) for about 15 years as well as mtx. Since the change to benepali last year I've struggled to get back in control of my RA despite going back on enbrel in March. I've only managed through a raft of steroid injections. I don't think the Enbrel is as effective

Everything hurts - almost.
This is my first time posting here. I have posted on the PMR board which was very helpful. I have been convinced I have it in addition to RA because of chronic shoulder pain, particularly the right one. Up until 2 years ago I had been pain free on Enbrel followed by Remicade and then it all went pear-shaped
