Thx It seems like most of you are taking mtx along with a biologic. I know my rh wants to avoid mtx because of the liver problems, lung problems, etc, so that must be why I'm just on Enbrel right now. I've heard that it works for two out of three people, I'm really hoping I'm one of the two Wow, remission must be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 , Enbrel works well for me without mtx. Mtx lowers my white blood cell count too much, so I can't take it. I'm really thankful that the Enbrel does such a good job by itself. I hope that the same will be true for you. If not, another med can always be added later.
