Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hi Jeff: I did Enbrel for 3 months along with Methotrexate. At the end of that time there was some improvement, but not enough for either my doctor or myself. So I have switched to Humira and have found that immediately much more effective. I am about to start my second month and I have high hopes. I do find that as I get closer to my next dose, that I have an increase in symptoms. With the Enbrel, since you are taking it so often, hopefully that won't be the case for you. I encourage you to get off the Vicodin - maybe the time to try getting off of it is right after a dose. I found that if I'm hurting the day of the injection, that by the next morning, things have improved. Good luck to you. gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
