Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi there, This is my first post here, I hope I can help others from the heart break I had gone thur. I am not here to scare any one just toooo.. let u know what happened to me on Enbrel for RA. I also have Fibromyalgia for 8.5 years RA dx 1997 and other diease i will post about at another time. I was put on a waiting list for this drug in 2000. I came to the top of the list 11/2002, I started the Enbrel right away I found relief from RA in 5 to 6 weeks or sooo... I believed I was back to Normal (right) I was so happy. But the evilness of this FDA approved drug came to a head. In my right eye I started having a hard time with my sight and things going blurry , I thought that they were just tried. then on 2/26/2003 I could not see all, I could see was the out line of thing for Example I could see your face but not you eyes ot mouth just the figure. I decieded I needed to go see an Eye doc and he told me that I had Optic Nerutris(one of the signs of Ms abd bought on by Enbrel). From there I went to see rheummy and told her what was going on She then admitted me right away and started mega doses of steroids. I now am legaly blind in that eye from the Enbrel I was will to do any thing to get out of pain, Enbrel is a hermone from a chinnies hamster overies i was put this into my body i must have been crazy To put forign thing into my body to me i will live life in pain and have my sight my left eye tooo.. me I do nt believe this drug id worth lossing our sight over I do kow that this side effect was a freak one but if it happened to me COULD IT HAPPEN TO YOU. I dont believe this is worth it to me to risk your sight or to get MS or death. Please becarfull on this drug and learn all you can about this drug. My lawyer told me that remicaid is 10times worst these new RA drugs BIO'S should have not been aaproved by the FDA. Good luck To....All Take Care Chessygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
