Avatar f tn I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH RHEUMOTOID ARTHRITIS, IS IT NORMAL FOR THE PARTS OF THE BODY TO SHOW BRUISING AFTER A JOINT FLARE UP
Avatar n tn 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
Avatar n tn weird, never thought that enbrel would be a cause of hpv. I have developed hpv before starting on enbrel. what connection is there between the two?
Avatar f tn My blood tests show that, even with the Enbrel, my c reactives and other immune response numbers are very high. They tell me that they will give me prednisone to help with the reaction. If the only reason for getting off the Enbrel is to protect me from infection, doesn't the prednisone do the same thing? I can't take prednisone without major side effects, including bleeding alot over everything...wouldn't that be bad during surgery?
1544019 tn?1318504526 re done with your pregnancy. It is seriously a MIRACLE drug for people with RA! At least it has been for me! About taking it during pregnancy, I have had to do a TON of research about the subject myself since there are discrepencies in the doctors viewpoints. The problem is that Enbrel is a relatively "new" drug. I have been taking it basically since it came out (since 2001). But there are unfortunately not many studies done with pregnant women.
1544019 tn?1318504526 I have had RA since I was 15 and I have 2 children (pregnant with my 3rd). I used Enbrel during my pregnancies, just less often. I take a 25mg shot every other week or every 3rd... Everything is fine with my two children...I wish there was more research on it...
Avatar f tn There are so other negatives to taking Mtx whether by itself or in combination with Enbrel. I wish you the best with your RA and would like to hear from you about how things are going for you.
Avatar m tn My doctor wants to put me on Enbrel but i am nervious about it. All the reading i do about it suggests that the cure is worse then the disease and it seems that the risk of getting cancer, lupus or the like is extreamly high (higher then the other injectables). I am no stranger to biologics, my doctor had me on Raptiva (before they pulled it) and i loved it. Completly cleared me with no side effects and even kept me clear for 2 years after i stopped using it. But Enbrel scares me.
Avatar n tn d like info on natural enbrel alternative.
Avatar m tn Hi - I recently had sex with a sex worker in an Eastern European country with high HIV rates (as much as 10% among sex workers). During sex the condom broke so I was unprotected for a short period. I am concerned because I take Enbrel, which is an immuno-suppresant. Does Enbrel seriously increase the risk of transmission?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn 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.
422104 tn?1209763904 Never really thought it could be a side affect from the enbrel, but willing to live with that over the pain. With my RA i also have got nodules from head to toe, have any of you got the same thing? I have 23 in my lungs alone, having surgery to remove a few off my arm on the 19th of sept. One more thing i would like to tell you about the enbrel, I have only had one severe flareup where couldn't do anything, not even walk dress etc.. steroids and morphine cleared that up fast.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Severe RA in 1999 and was prescribed Enbrel. I've been on it 2 times a week since then and have very good luck with it. No side effects and have to take no other medications with it, besides Vicodin when I have a flare up or severe pain. I'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.
Avatar m tn Can you take enbrel for psorasis and interfern for Hepatitis C, and be safe and will both medication work
Avatar m tn I just wanted t say for me I needed a supplemental DMARD to take with Enbrel. I ended up doing 1000 mg Sulfasalazine and that has made all the difference in the world. I've been flare free for going on four years now.
Avatar m tn just to see if I can feel anything. A year ago, wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, with no insurance. About a month after that I tried to have a heart attack but failed. :) ER treated me for heart then asked me if I had any stressed. I laughed and explained. They laughed and said they thought it was a stress related thing. Kept me for 14 hrs and gave me a spotless bill of health with no signs af any heart issues.
Avatar n tn Doctors prescribe these drugs because they feel the benefits outweigh the risks. There are alternatives to Enbrel, but they come with potential side effects, too. Many people take this drug and experience a such a vast improvement in their symptoms that they cannot imagine being without it. 2. One of the doctors told me that the symptoms will go away on their own within 2 to 6 months. Shall I just wait this period and suffer through the pain to avoid taking the Enbrel?
443898 tn?1229700080 Is there any way you can be over medicated with the enbrel and celebrex? For the fatigue I use vitamin B complex. This really helps me. Good luck and dont give up!
Avatar n tn t related to the Enbrel with the timing ect sudden onset. I see the neurologist again today so will see. They have mentioned plasmapheresis do that maybe the next step. Really frustrating. My hands have cleared.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Enbrel for 5 years. I am 57 years. In the last year I have developed a head tremor which is getting progressively worse.
Avatar f tn Granted, we have different types of arthritis, mine being psoriatic arthritis, but I can tell you that I was on Enbrel alone for atleast three years and I had great results with no side effects. For me it was a wonder drug. You may wonder why I would go off something so great...it was a dollars and cents issue. My husband retired and my lifelong coverage of medication was reduced to $100,000. On a medication like Enbrel, I would go through that within 4 to 5 years.
Avatar n tn A new doctor has put me on it in conjunction with Enbrel because I have couple joints which have been causing me problems. Otherwise, I've been great on Enbrel. I am now in my 3rd week on MTX, and seveal joints are really flaring. I find this very depressing. The GI tract challenges, fatigue and foggy brain are a pain, but my arthritis now seems worse in general. Has anyone out there experienced this type of problem, and does it subside? I am about to abandon the MTX ship.
Avatar f tn I’ve been taking Enbrel for the past 15 years or so with HUGE success! I have since Retired from work last month and now have a limited income. I signed up to Medicare/AARP for my post retirement healthcare requirement. During employment my Co-Pay was 25 dollars for a month supply. Now, Medicare and AARP collective insurance leaves me with 1,000 dollars for a month supply. Retail? $4600-$5500 for a 4 doses (month supply) Is there ANYTHING else that works as well as this?
