I have to admit that since I have had a lung congestion problem and cut back on Enbrel to once every two weeks and I am still doing fine as far as RA. Lungs are cleaning up too. Harv

When the manufacturer was sold and we couldn't get any (for 2, 3 months) I was flared up and was afraid that my system would not react favorably to it when supplies were available again. I phoned the company and told them that enbrel was vital to my HAVING a life, but the woman on the phone couldn't do anything about it. She was understanding, and I appreciated that. The other drugs, like gold shots did barely anything in suppressing the flare ups and made me sick, so I depend on the enbrel. If it stops working I try the newer gene therapy product. Now my R-should is only slightly bearable with only the head of the humorus replaced. Jan2
I called rheumatologist office today. His nurse said they had 3 people go back to the 2x week injections and several complaints about the stinging with the new one. I have decided to go back for next 3 months to see if there is a difference. I can always take 2 shots at a time if want to and the main inconvenience would be taking up all that frig room. If doesn't do better than I guess I will know Enbrel is not working well now. What is the new gene therapy product? A couple of years I read in Arthritis Today that a new blood test would be available soon that would tell which Tumor Necrosis med would be best for an individual. Since I have heard nothing and wonder if it is available, or maybe they are just not willing to use it. Thanks for replies.
