From now on I have to call in two days before my appt and make sure they have it. When I got on-line this evening, my sister had sent me some information about a class action suit in the works against Remicade, Enbrel, and Arava. Gee! I've been on all three. I knew about all the stuff on Remicade except for the fact that it seems to be causing heart failure. That is a bit disconcerting. Hope every one is well and that all the moms and grandmoms have a wonderful day on Sunday.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Sharon, there is a reason there is a shortage! The makers of Enbrel can no longer keep up with the demand. They are now building a larger facility to mgf the drug to make more. Also as for now the only people that can get Enbrel are those who were on it in the past. Please do not slam me for this but it is the truth! There are some VERY serious side effects that can occure with Enbrel, one of which is it causes ANA positive and in time our bodies become immune to the Enbrel causing it to no longer work. I was a ginnie pig with Enbrel for well over a year and it does work VERY WELL for joint pain but thats about it. If you have anymore questions please just ask away. Also if you are prone to infections YOU CAN NOT TAKE IT! It can kill you. So before you start it ask MANY questions and do your own reserch on the drug. P ---------- Hi Glenda, Yes, the Remicade did come in, but they informed me that there is a nation-wide shortage.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Did you see or hear about the class action suits about Enbrel, Arava, and Remicade? I did not read about the one against Enbrel because I am no longer on that, but the one on Remicade was pretty scary. I agree about Enbrel. It helped my joint pain a lot, but never did anything for the RP. I think Remicade is doing the same thing. I am on a whopping dose, every four weeks instead of the recommeded eight weeks, and it does help with the joint pain, but not completely. The RP seems to just be marching to the beat of its own drummer at this point. I see my rheumy next week and we are going to have a serious discussion about me staying on Remicade. I don't like it amd definitely do not feel that it is worth the over $4,000 per month that our ins. is paying for it. --- idigflower2000 wrote: > Sharon, there is a reason there is a shortage!
