Re: Sandy/Embrel

Sandy,

A friend of mine took embrel for nearly 2 years before it finally did its

job - and she is now in full remission! So hang in there and try to have

patience.

MTX did absolutely nothing for me, and I can't take the other DMARDs. So I

just keep hoping something new will be developed that will help.

Hello,

My name is Sandy and I have a horrible time with my RA

in the summer. As soon as it gets above 85 my joints

swell horribly. My knees get the wortst. So try to

hange in there! I also have a question about Humaria.

I am on MTX and enbrelll. It has been a month and I

have had no real realif. How is the drug working for

you?

Sandy,

I have been on Enbrel for 3 years and mtx. injectable for 1 yr.. I took at

least 3 months before I felt any difference at all. Unfortunately it did not

afford me remission but fortunately, it did relieve the fatigue and allowed me

to go off prednisone completely-i now only use it for bad flares. So hang in

there, Sandy, give it a little time- i know it is hard but hopefully you will be

lucky and it will work wonders for you.
