Guest guest Posted April 8, 2003 Report Share Posted April 8, 2003 , I had the same problem when I first started on Enbrel. The fatigue was horrible. There were times I couldn't even finish my grocery shopping. I just couldn't put one foot in front of the other. I'm happy to say that after several weeks it went away. Now I just have the normal exhaustion. Hope you feel better soon and that your results turn out to be as good as mine have been. I'm going into my second year on Enbrel.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I have experienced two different kinds of fatigue (well at least two!). Enbrel immediately helped me with one kind. When I wake up in the morning now, I am fully awake. It doesn't take me 2 hours to achieve clear consciousness. And my body doesn't feel like its moving in slow motion. However, the day after I take the Enbrel I am exhausted! I need an hour or two or three of extra sleep (which I never get cause of work...). I gladly take the exhaustion over the fuzzy head and slo-mo body, if you know what I mean. I am tired but functional. Plus, the Enbrel is completely changing my metabolism. I'm famished very often now, eating much much more. I get the feeling that over time, my body will adjust, after I've gotten used to the Enbrel cycle and adjusted my diet accordingly. I expect at that time I won't be so tired the following day anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I am continually fatigued, however, I am not sure if it is from the Enbrel or anyone of the combination of medications that I am on. It just seems to snowball. But to answer your question, I do feel fatigued everyday, all day.
