enbrel and dental work

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'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.

Doctor, I would like information related to Enbrel and MS. I used Enbrel for less than one year. I now have demylination of the cervical spinal cord, both optic nerves, plaques in my brain, numbness in leg and balance problems. I am now fifty eight. Symtoms started at age fifty six with numbness in leg and balance problems. I have been told it looks "MSish." Questions: now that the new symptom of, the optic nerves being demlinated, is it MS?

Never had the cough or metal taste during the time I used Reumofan. I am not back on Enbrel, and not happy about it. I take say 15mg, 1x weekly...or something like that. Just enough to take the edge off. Reumotolgist approved this dosage. About a month off Reumofan, Dr wanted to check my blood just to see if there were any steroid use indicated. I gained 15# and I never gain weight. Blood tests came back negative for anything.

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?

My friend had no choice it was a big risk if she didnt have the dental work , she lost hur baby after the procedure and when she went back for somthing lyk a week later and the dentist cryed and refered her to someone alse, she was only three months but i dont recomend to anyone

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.

No one here knows your medical history. And yes, both meds can work for their respective diseases however interferon and enbrel work differently on the immune system and I don't know if they can even be taken together.

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.

Hi Sue, Thanks for the support! I was on remicade before Enbrel but I hated it. I hated having to sit there for hours to get the treatment and then it always wore off on my after about 3 weeks and I'd be hurting. The Enbrel was much more consistent for me. I did go to the doctor friday and they said yes, the arthritis makes you more prone to injury but that the steroid shots make that risk of injury far worse. Sigh. I played tennis on saturday and I re-sprained my hand big time.

Hi there, Hoping someone can help me.....I am about 7 weeks pregnant and have quite a bit of dental work to have done. I've told my dentist to hold off on any X-rays and replacement fillings till after I'm pregnant. But I still have some work that was "in progress" that he wants to finish, mostly to do with broken crown that need to come off and then be replaced. This will require two visits, both about 1 hour and 15 minutes each.

m thinking (and feeling) that one shot would be okay. In fact, I would rather give myself an Enbrel shot than take prednisone (which is normally what they give pregnant women with RA if they need medication. But I LOATHE prednisone and it's side effects. However - they say it's "safe.") Enbrel has always been good to me and I think it would be okay to take right now.

I just injected myself with my 4th shot of Enbrel and I know it is starting to work, this is my last hope. What are your symptoms? I've been through it all and it's been 4 years since I was dx. Write back if you'd like, I might be able to help!

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 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

Shall I just wait this period and suffer through the pain to avoid taking the Enbrel? Although I really need to get back to normal soon because I have studies and work. 3. Will it get worse, better, or stay as it is while I'm waiting for the symptoms to go away? 4. Will I get such symptoms again in the future, if I'm on or off medications? How bad will it be? Is the antigen I have a factor in having Reiter's chronically?

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.

I have a lot of stuff I need to do for work and major certification exams coming up - plus my husband might need major surgery. Needless to say I'm under a lot of stress and I have stuff to do!! I can't afford to be tired or in pain all the time!

Yes I have and they can numb you as long as your in your second trimester

I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I have a couple of caries and they said best to repair them after delivery because it's not good to apply unnecessary anesthetic during pregnancy, plus they'll want to do some xrays to see the depth of the caries, and that's also best avoided during pregnancy...

I had some fillings done and had to have a wisdom tooth out cause it was infected but they stop doing dental work after a certain point in your pregnancy cause they don't want to trigger something to make you go in to preterm labor. It should be fine. Just let your dentist know you're pregnant.

When I was in my first trimester I went I had my teeth cleaned and I have a chipped tooth in the back and its been bothering me and I told her but they wouldnt do anything because they wouldnt x-ray me so j have to wait till december to go back and get it fixxed :/

at 13 weeks your fine for dental work.

Im 10 weeks and 2 days and part of my wisdom tooth had broken off im not in pain but have a sharp edge which is digging into my mouth a bit. Is it safe to have dental work done or even have the tooth pulled if need be? I plan to ring the dentist tomorrow and do you get any benefits if your pregnant?

Yes dental work is safe and highly recommended when pregnant so you dont pass an infection to your unborn baby. I know that fillings, deep cleaning, tooth extractions, fixing chipped teeth are all safe. I would ask about root canals though.

Have any of you ladies had lots of dental work done while pregnant? I have read about what to avoid and all that but just curious of who has went through it.
