I've loved my experience with Enbrel! The only side effect that I have had has been small infections if I get a cut on my hands once I've been on it for a few months. If this is happening I will often skip my dosage for a week or two to let things heal.

After methotrexate I was put on this drug. I was in a bad way and shortly after taking this I was very impressed. It pretty much cured me from a bad state to feeling great.I was on it for about 6 years but around the 5th year I noticed it becoming slightly less effective. One injection a week used to be fine but gradually only 5 out of the 7 days Id feel fine. Then 4 etc I had no side effects but sadly my body became immune to this drug.

Was on this for a year - was great, felt it working after first injection. Couldnt go on it for 4 months as tested positive for TB so had to have antibiotics first.

If I can continue to tolerate the methotrexate, I hope to eventually go on Enbrel. I understand it is very expensive. [More] -
