Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Cindi, Previously I was on 10mg injectable mtx, but it raised my liver enzymes and the mtx was discontinued. My new doctor here in Florida says that 7.5 combined with enbrel is very effective. The lower dose may not increase my enzymes. Enbrel started working for me immediately. I thought it was in my head since I didn't believe it could help so quickly. I always know when it is time for my injection. I've been on enbrel for 5 years. I have noticed no side effects, not even injection site reactions. I am blessed to have found something that helps so much. I hope you find something soon. It hurts to hear how much you suffer. a On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 18:44:48 -0800 (PST), Cindi Hein <heinscsf@...> wrote: > > PAULA, > > HI THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY POST !
