Re: itching/anyone on Enbrel?

[Guest guest]

I take Claritin daily for seasonal allergies and add benedryl with injection. I have noticed more itching just thought I had dry skin. But thinking about it, it very well could be the meds. When I do my Enbrel injection the site swells up like I have a baseball there under my skin! Red, welts and itches like crazy! Does anyone else take Enbrel with any side effects or progress??aLove~Light~PeaceFrom: helen flatau <hlflatau@...>Sender: Rheumatoid Arthritis Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:29:14 -0700 (PDT)<Rheumatoid Arthritis >Reply Rheumatoid Arthritis Subject: itching I hadn't put the two together, but have often had itchiness, multiple sites, making me wonder if it is part of the diseases, not just meds?I take Allegra D regularly, and still have to add hydrocortison or other antihistamines topically. Ear canals are especially a problem for me. Is this anything anyone else is observing?BUt I will be sure to not miss my antihistamines with my Orencia.
