Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi Everyone, I am a 60 yr. male who was first diagnosed with RA in 2000. I have been thru the usual treatments, and have been on Enbrel for the last eight months. When I first started, I couldn't believe the difference it made. The RA was almost non existent for about six months. Recently, the pain and swelling have returned back to the level it was before. I'm not sure what to do next. I don't want to go too far with the meds. My mother and sister both had severe RA and past away at the ages of 43 and 52 from a blood clot and brain aneurism. I'm concerned about the side effects. I am also taking methotrexate. Would appreciate any comments. Has anyone been on Enbrel and have it loose it's effectiveness? Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
