I have not had Humira, but have taken Enbrel since it came out. After a
very few injections I developed bad rash from waist up through face. Dr
told me to wait a week or so, then one injection, wait about 6 days and do
another, then 5 days, etc. so body would get used to it. I did and it
worked great, have had no rashes since. this might not work with Humira but
it might be worth a try...just a thought.

I have had it with Remicade and not with Enbrel.... Listen to what Peggy
has said from a smart doctor who knows what is taking place. I had to
stop Remicade and Humira may have to be stopped but Peg's doctors plan sound
good,,,,,, first.

Hey Harv,

Don't forget to tell the folks that you have shares in the makers of Enbrel.
As you said you made a killing out of that one.

Cheers, Rod
