enbrel and the sun

Just like at the Dead Sea spa in Israel I called and asked what there treatment was and then just did it myself at home. Sun, mud, sea salt bath and message. Also, I would think about what foods your eating. Your okay. I healed it- it's your nervous system. Don't be angry, or upset --relaxation.

I'm in the same vote. On enbrel and have developed hpv. Very tiny bumps if even noticeable at all, but its been spreading. Aldara only made my psoriasis and psa flare up. I guess the next thing is to stop enbrel till my hpv clears up? I am 29, male, non smoker. Enbrel is the only med I take.

Thanks so much for the prompt response. I apologize for not being more clear, what I meant to ask is if I am dx with MS can I continue to take the Enbrel. The precautions say pt's with MS should not take it but I want to know why and what the risks would be. Thanks again.

one year of Enbrel injections. Although the Enbrel may have lessened the pain and progression. other side effects and basically an unwell feeling. dizziness. sinusitis. Pain in eyes. If this is as good as it gets. there must be something better. anyone else been here and found something better?

ll be getting married this October and am curious to know if any woman out there have gotten pregnant and given birth while on Enbrel.

I've been on Enbrel for almost 9 years. I've recently been developing tremors in my hands, cheeks (when I smile), and tongue. Talked to my rheumy. He doesn't think it's the Enbrel, but I am growing more concerned. They're not bad, but they do seem to be progressing.

I was on a daily regiment of percocet, Flexirol, and Ibuprofin in between and and stopped those until the dr said it was actually OK to take these meds when I need them for flare ups.... Is there anything else that would be safer to take that would help you? That is a bind one says yes, another says no, I guess I would weigh the options. Is it going to cause you more stress to be in all that pain then one little shot?

So just an update about this. Just when we finally got cleared for me to take the Enbrel while pregnant, we find out it's not going to be into the pharmacy until Friday AND it's going to cost $900!!! BUT it turns out it will actually probably be safer for me TO take the Enbrel. I have to control my arthritis because if I don't control it, (according to the lady at the pregnancy risk hotline we talked to today) Rheumatoid ARthritis puts me at risk for still birth and preterm labor.

t have much nausea as long as I took the pills with food, and I still have my hair. However I am quite fair and pretty intolerant of sun and heat. I never leaver the house without sunscreen. I never had mouth sores, but for a few months my tongue felt a little sore and swollen, however this hasn't been a problem since. You'll be given a companion prescription of folic acid, which is taken 24 hours after you take the mtx. The folic acid will help relieve side effects.

s are interesting to say the least, I had only been on the Enbrel 4 weeks when he said he wanted to take me off of it and try Remicade or Humira. I work in the medical field and researched the heck out of the Enbrel before I started taking it, risk outweighing the benefits etc, it also said it could take up to 3 months to work so I insisted he allow me to give it the full amount of time to work. When you have the time I would love to know the exercises you do.

I was in between jobs and had no insurance and had to stop the Enbrel for 3 weeks, within 2 weeks the pain and stiffness was back worse than ever. The price of Enbrel is $1500.00 monthly so it doesn't surprise me that the insurance company won't give you the 2 a week you need. Talk to your doc about the other 2 drugs and see if they will better help control your pain and stiffness. Keep me posted!

Hi, my 18 year old son has just found out his girlfriend is pregnant, he had been on methotrexate for the last 13 years and we have always been warned about the dangers of fathering a child, I have read on this site a lot of people saying the child has been ok but they seem only to have been taking this med for a few months, does anyone have any advice for someone who has been taking this drug weekly since they were 5 years old and how it will affect an unborn child as he is at odds of whether t

I'M A MALE 59 YEARS OLD BUT WITH A VERY ACTIVE LIFE STYLE. I;VE HAD RA FOR 25 YEARS, STARTING TAKING METHOTREXATE ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WITH PREDIZONE FROM TIME TO TIME. AROUND THREE YEARS AGO I WAS HAVING FLARE UPS AND MY DOCTOR ALSO ME ON ENBREL, WORKED VERY GOOD FOR THE RA BUT MY NOW MY THROAT IS ALWAYS SORE AND CONGESTED WITH PHELM. THIS YEAR I'VE SEEM NUMEROUS DOCTORS ENT, GENERAL ALERGIST AND EVEN HAD SINUS SURGERY FOR 30 GRAND, NOTHING FIXED THE THROAT PROBLEMS.

Since it is a known risk, your doctor will know how to treat you, and may recommend discontinuing the medication for at least some time.

I did go ahead and get off the enbrel 10 days before the surgery. I did the only thing I knew to do...get enough sleep, accept no stress and stay away from chemicals. Amazingly, nothing hit me until 6 days later and it was not major...only 1 joint and only for 2 days...then another set of joints took over, but once again it was minor. I have learned however, that I will not get off enbrel again unless forced to do so...I like to move around and do things.

I have been in so much pain 11 months straight now and it is crazy, lower back and down the right leg and ankle I can only stand or do things for 15 minutes or less, also have swelling feeling in neck and throat area to that bother me everyday, been through thyroid surgery and it was not the thyroid causing the neck problem. Also since I done the enbrel injection I now have like a sore throat, is that normal?

I was only 42 at the time and the thought of that was mindboggleing! Enbrel was introduced in 1998 and by the time my insurance agreed to pay for it it was Spring 1999 when I took my first injection. I started Enbrel along with an injectible dose of.09 Mtx weekly. For me Enbrel was a light-switch medication and within 2 weeks I was a normal functioning adult again with no pain at all.

...there were alot of things he could not do anymore. Since being on Enbrel, the inflamation, pain and swelling is gone. He's doing the things he wants to do and its because of Enbrel. I understand why you are nervous about the side effects, but my dads experience has only been positive.

t praise the drug enough fantastic results - i have the chance to visit family in Australia for 4 months when i retire in 18 months time the only obstacle is my medication and how would it work with my getting enbrel injections and it is a long flight - is there a solution around this problem

m convinced that there is a correlation between these things and the Enbrel. Have any other Enbrel users been diagnosed with any of these inflammatory diseases? My gut feeling is that the Enbrel truly is the cause, but it has worked so well on my joints, I'm hesitant to try anything else. My Rheumatologist is going to argue with me about my hypothesis, but I know my body. Can anyone give some insight?

Hello, he has not tested me for the gene but I am going to request it, my back has alot going on also and I might of had a UTI as I have had them in the past, I know I had scianitis previous to this so that may be my issue also. So how is the Enbrel? Any remarkable results yet?

Hi - has anyone who has ever been on Enbrel noticed a rust-colored staining on the hands? I'm not sure if it is directly related to enbrel, but I thought I would ask. My daughter was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis several months ago, and has tried Remicade unsuccessfully. Now, she has had 2 injections of Enbrel, and just today has noticed the staining on her hands. I don't know what to think, so I'd appreciate hearing from any of you.

Ive only had it since 2010 but it was severe at the beginning! Flipped my world upside down. I was tried on Humira and Enbrel. They discontinued the Humira because it was not helping. They discontinued the Enbrel because of side effects. Now I am on Plaquenil. I also get Rituxan infusions.I am on 15 mg of Prednisone but being tapered because I have been on it since 2009 and they want me off it because of the problems it is causing me.

Can you take enbrel for psorasis and interfern for Hepatitis C, and be safe and will both medication work
