I have been taking enbrel now for about 2 months and I must say I am pleased Although I still have numerous open wounds the severe swelling is no longer a problem... and some of my sites have shrunk tremendously... Im definetly exited about this because my pain is manageble now... But WARNING this is some serious stuff my docs are like watching me like a hawk... because enbrel is an immune suppresor... so any sickness becomes bad... Also pregnancy is off limits due to fetus effects...

no side effects. just not helping as much as it did in the beginning. Also insurance not paying for this and could not afford.

It certainly helps my Psoriasis and I notice more pain if I miss a week or two of treatment. It is an immune inhibitor though so if Im around sick people I usually get sick.

Has anyone been on Enbrel? My doctor wants me to try it but I am worried that it is still too new and experimental. The FDA has put a warning on it.... [More]
