Re: Enbrel Question

[Guest guest]

Hi gang!

I've been on Enbrel for a little over two years now and it took awhile before it started to work. It was kindof like the RP was fighting it -- flaring more and feeling bad. But after three months, the docs added Imuran to it and about a month and a half later, I could walk much better and felt better. My flares weren't as severe and didn't last as long.

After about two years, I began flaring more and the docs didn't think it was working as well as it did in the beginning, but it is better than how I was before so I'm going to take it as long as I can. Every little bit helps.

hugs and smiles,

Hello,

I am just sending in my sign up sheet to start using Enbrel and one

of the women in my doctor's office said that I probably won't come to

the top of the waiting list until mid year next year!!!! I can't

believe it! , is that your experience, also? I hurt so badly

now, I don't know what I'll do!
