Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I just joined this group and have noticed a lot of inquiries from people thinking of trying Enbrel. Instead of replying to each one, I will just send this one message. If anyone has any specific questions, please ask. I was on Enbrel for over 10 years. Before starting it, I had failed at most first line therapies. I was miserable. My fingers joints and toes would no longer move, and the rest of my body felt like every bone had been crushed. 30 days after starting, I was pain free and going to the gym like nothing had ever happened. Throughout those 10 years I hardly knew I had RA. Once in a while during a high pressure shift I would have a little twinge but nothing bad enough to stop me from doing anything I wanted to do - golf, weights, kickboxing, etc. I did not have any problems with infections or side effects. I did not take a dose if I felt like I may have any kind of sickness. the only problem I have had with it is that it stopped working for me about 5 months ago. My advice is, if you are a person who doesn't have infection problems now, to try it. You can always stop. If you are lucky enough to have it work for you, you will get your life back.
