Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Don, I was right there with your wife about starting Enbrel, but want to say once again how it gave me back my hands. Even tho I'm off right now, and have been off for about 2 months because of that sinus infection that wouldn't go away and that I feel was a side effect. I can feel my RA beginning to come for me in my hands, but I'm hoping I can restart enbrel in a bit. When she decides, just make sure (as I'm sure she and you will) she's assertive with asking questions and pestering her Dr. if she's thinking something's not right. I'm discovering that ALL OF YOU on this board help me figure things out more often than the Dr. Then the Dr. backs you all up;) Rie Message: 10 Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 10:01:14 -0400 From: Donk <d.knieriem@...> Subject: Re: Re: New Hi Ann, My wife has RA and is also pretty scared of moving up her meds to Enbrel. She told me to write and tell you you're NOT the only one afraid to jump on the Enbrel bandwagon, lol. Anyway, her doc has " mentioned " it (not necessarily recommended), but she realizes that eventually her pain will be so bad she'll have to give Enbrel (or similar) a try. Good luck, Don & Eileen ____________________________________________________ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
