Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 a, I hope the Enbrel helps you as much as it's helping me. I've been on it over two years now, and I don't have any noticeable side effects. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Good luck a. I've been on Enbrel for 8 years now with no side effects at all. It was effective so fast that I thought I must have imagined feeling better. I soon found out that it wasn't my imagination. I hope you have the same great results. It's great that your co-workers are so understanding. You are very fortunate. I hope the Enbrel keeps you working for as long as you want to. the other a On Mar 4, 2006, at 7:43 PM, a wrote: > Kathe, > > Thanks for the encouragement!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 a, I wish you great success with the enbrel. I have been on it for a month now and can not believe how much better I feel. I am 53 and have been diagnosed with RA for about 3 years now. I started on MTX immediately and got some joint relief with it but also terrible fatigue and then in started losing effectiveness and I was supplementing with prednisone. I have not used the prednisone since I started the enbrel. I have joined curves and and have worked out 2 or 3 times a week for the last two weeks-slowly but it is a start and today I moved my stove and refrig and stripped my kitchen floor. I'm tired but it feels wonderful because it is the tired thats comes from doing something and totally different from RA fatigue. A month ago I didn't even care if it was swept on not I hurt so bad. Doing only the absolute necessities were about all I could manage. I am still using the MTX but have cut the dosage to 5 mg a week. I pray for it to be as wonderful for you and it has been for me.
