took 1.3ml all in one shot and Dr. Lovell said they had kids taking 50mg

in one shot. He just ordered us bigger syringes.

Subject: Re: Enbrel - side affects

Ok, I called the pharmacy and they can only get the kits in 25mg. Do you give

two injections or what? 's are 50 mg. Of course we have to get a new

script from the rheumy if we want to change to this but we are seeing him in a

week and a half so that is not a problem.

Enbrel - side affects

Our rheumy has proposed that our 6 year old son goes on Enbrel in 6 months.

He's currently on weekly methotrexate injections and takes naproxen - which

he tolerates well and does not seem to be experiencing any pain. The

swelling is still there though. He has polyarticular and psoriac arthritis.

The side effects look scary - but just wondered whether any of the kids in

our group have experience of taking Enbrel and how they found it. Thanks for

any feedback. Love this group and find it invaluable.
