I have had two Enbrel injections so far and I think I am getting results.
Not dramatic, but I have had so much more energy for the past 3 days. I have not had to take any naps. This is notable because at one point, I was taking two naps a day. I also feel like the joints in my hands are less "congested." ( that is my own little description ;-) Only problem is..... I have had trouble staying asleep at night. Is that associated with Enbrel? Anyhoo, just had to share. Please pray that this is only the beginning. ( I know it takes 12 weeks for full results! Wow, maybe I will have a much better winter than last year!)

awesome news - hoping that the "less congestion" continues and so does your energy level :)
(sorry I don't have any insight on enbrel itself) Tort

Hahaha Bistro!
Someone suggested that maybe with feeling a little better, I may require less sleep ( I have accustomed my household to me going to bed as early as possible.). Makes sense. Tonight I will try to stay up later and see if that helps. Of course I can always take a Simply Sleep or something.

I am glad that Enbrel seems to be working for you. I have been on it 4 months, and I cannot speak as to the insomnia because I have suffered from that for a very long time, far before Enbrel. I am jealous, it is not working for me, and I switch to Remicade next week. I am happy for your success and hope it continues.
