Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 It has been almost 2 years since I started Enbrel and while I have had flares start while I have had to stop it d/t surgeries, they stopped as soon as I restarted it and I am still doing well on it, ---- way way better than while I was taking mtx. Then I was getting minimal relief from vioxx and fairly frequent steroid injections, now I need vioxx rarely. <> Enbrel effectiveness> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hi I haven't posted in a while but had a question. I started enbrel 4 weeks ago. It was wonderful the first 2 weeks. Week 3 the pain started getting worse and now I just took my 4th shot yesterday and my hands, wrists, elbows and knees are back to the severe pain. I have also had fluid on my elbows for 1 year now and was hoping the enbrel would cause that to go down but it hasn't. Has anyone else had this happen? I can't add Methotrexate to it. Its a drug I can't take. I had to stop the Arava due to low white blood cell counts. I am just frustrated. I have heard of these TNF's not working after a period of time but never this fast. Any info would be great. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
