Hi, I used it for almost 3 years and it made life livable and stopped
what RA does to a persons body during that time.
I stopped using it because of my insurance and turning 65, I started
Remicade for about a year and because of a reaction to it am now going back
to Enbrel in hopes it will do the great job again for me.
Please be afraid of the disease and give today's medicine a chance.

I have used enbrel since 1999 when it came out. It has kept me going when
all else had failed. The only problem I had for awhile was sinus infections
which were hard to get rid of. For the last 2 years I have not had that
problem at all.
When I first started, after a couple weeks I developed a bad rash from waist
up. Dr told me to quit for a week till healed, then take an injection, wait
6 days, do another, then wait 5 days, etc till was back to the 2 times a
week. It worked and no more rashes. Of course now there is the new
injections that are once a week and premixed. You might want to keep this
in mind just in case.
Good luck!
