Re: Re: Enbrel anyone? Kathe...

Kathi,

I¹m so glad you finally got Enbrel and had no problems giving yourself the

injection.

As others have said, make sure the alcohol is dry before sticking yourself.

I don¹t get any stinging except occasionally while it¹s being given.

Kathe please heed the warnings about stopping Enbrel if you have an

infection. If I get a cold I stop the enbrel to minimize respiratory

problems. I¹ve had no problems and I¹ve been on Enbrel since it was

approved.

It really helped me with fatigue and I hope both of you get the great

results that I did.
