Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi .... I've taken enbrel for years now. Wonderful results. I really could feel the difference within days...others take months. Also, sometimes enbrel with combination therapy works better for others. i take mine with arava and prednisone. Anyway....about the injection site. I do sometimes get an injection site reaction. There have been times when its itchy and pink. Or sometimes I get a bruise at the site. Nothing to worry about. I've never tried any lotion...just waited it out. But most of the time, my reaction is slight pinkness and a small itch. it doesn't last long. But like someone else said...you would have to pry the enbrel out of my mitts to get me to stop using it. I am able to do a lot more things than I ever did before. I hope it never quits working for me. There are so many better treatments now than when i was diagnosed in 1983. My hands and feet look like you know what but I feel lots better. I love it. Give it time too. Hugs..a ************** New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News & amp; more.
