Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 ----- Original Message ----- From: " Rie " <ravencache@...> > what scares me is all the unknowns about enbrel. And the fact that I have been getting what I thought were nosebleeds but now I " m thinking are my sinuses bleeding after I give myself the shots. I have the same problem with prednisone. My doctor assures me I will never bleed to death from a nosebleed. :-) He does check periodically to make sure I'm not becoming anemic (I might be bleeding somewhere else). I wake up with nosebleeds often. > My rheumy also mentioned to me what you mention: that if the meds are stopped, most patients have the symptoms return within 5-8 years. In the past when I had a question about a specific drug, I've gotten good responses when I emailed or phoned the manufacturer. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hey all, This is Steph in VA. I take Remicade, among other things. My next treatment is tomorrow. YEAH! I agree that the benefits for me far outweigh the risks. It's one of those quality of life vs. quantity decisions that each of us has to make. Take care, Steph in VA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
