Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Terry, If the Enbrel doesn't work, you might want to ask your RD about Kineret. It is a daily injection rather than biweekly and is just a tiny bit cheaper than Enbrel. I thought I remembered you saying you had to pay for your rx's. Don't know how you do it. Keeping my fingers crossed this combo works for you. Tery - FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 Hi Terry, I have had 8 injections of Enbrel and 9th coming up Monday. I have noticed a very slight improvement but nothing to talk about. The only other meds I am taking are 5mg Prednisone and 1 celebrix/day. How long did it take before you noticed a real significant improvement? Hugs June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 June I haven't had an improvement yet. The RA is still aggressive. We'll see how I am in a month. Well, I've been saying that for one and a half years now. Ohio - Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2002 Report Share Posted January 13, 2002 Terry, The enbrel took 3 months for me to kick in and then the pain is still here but fatigue gone and inflammation gone. Although around my surgeries I had to stop it and joints that don't hurt at all usually were hurting so I guess it helps that too. Don't know a thing about kineret. Sounds interesting.
