That is one of the hardest things, I think. You'll be

cruising along (relatively speaking) and then you'll

get waylaid by symptoms and end up in bed. I hate that

Plus I took my second shot of Enbrel yesterday and don't

feel any better so I'm really worried that it won't work.

I know it can take awhile but I also know some people

feel it right away. I'm hoping that maybe it's relative.

When my first drug, Arava, wasn't working I was literally

in bed for most of the day. I still feel like crap but

I'm not in bed all day so maybe that's improvement?

I hope so And at this point, I've given up on feeling

" great " , I can even live without " good, " I'm just desperate

for " better. "

Have any of you had success with Enbrel but had it take

awhile?

Thx,
