Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 > I am very overweight and if enbrel took my appetite away that would be a blessing. I am working on getting my stomache stapled to lose weight. I am so overweight I have to have it done. My doctor asked me if I would be interested in getting it . > > I have to go to a few meetings and a psycholgist has to sign an ok for my mental status. It is in the making so to speak. If enbrel takes my hunger away that would be great. I looked up anerexia and I hope you don't mean you have all those symtons, cause that would be scary................God bless, I care...Clora > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > Hi Clora - > > I was on Enbrel for about 6 mths - did not use the self mix but the other. I never had a problem with injection site reactions, etc. However, I had a very, very rare side effect - anerexia. I dropped 20 lbs in one month and then I was weighing myself 5x a day! Never had an eating disorder before and it IS a RARE side effect, but other than that, it was like a miracle drug. I had NO RA symptoms AT ALL. I don't think I would've ever gone off if it had they not been monitoring my weight (I am on the low side of the scale to begin with). I think you will be happy with it. Good Luck & hugs + kisses! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
