enbrel and hepatitis b

I had the Hepatitis B shots back in the early 90's . My job reqiures that I provide them with the records but with the records being so old they cannot be found. My question is can I retake the shots without any side affects?

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

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!

Thanks, Justice! You should look into Enbrel when you'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).

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?

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.

it’s a key to judging overall treatment response – hopefully all the way to where the virus is undetectable.The viral loads in hepatitis B and C are different. Dr. Ned Snyder, chief of clinical gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, explains, “In hepatitis B, there is a close correlation between the height of the viral load and prognosis.

The prednisone provided minimal relief, and I was weaned off the prednisone, and put on sulfazine. In September, 2008 I was prescribed Enbrel and finally Methotrexate (January, 2009). I have received much relief with the current medications (I continue to take Plaquenil as well). My question is, is it possible that my car accident and resulting injury caused my RA flares?

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?

I was SVR for 3 years now , HCV RNA - und , sensitivity 12 IU/ml Have a real pain from PsA and have to start treatment with ENBREL which is biological drug and it suppose to lower my immune system .My rheumy told me that there is tinny possibility of relapsing after taking it.. All this time I thought that once you get rid of virus that is it . How comes it can relapse after 3 years ??? Goggling thru the net couldn't find anything than can give any proof for his theory.

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.

MY Cleveland Clinic results in 2013 was Hep B Core AB positive and also Hep B Surf AB Qual was Positive but both Hep C and HBsag were negative. MY rheumy's nurse said my tests came back inconclusive and wants me to have the HepB core AB IGM Total done... can someone explain this to me that knows something about Hep and values? NO one has mentioned anything about these tests to me since y first one in 2013.

Thanks smittygirl. I was on the fence with this decision but leaning in the same direction as your perspective. Sunday, today, is my injection day. I've had the p.i. for a week, and it seems to be clearing up despite the Enbrel. So like you, I agree; I'd rather itch a little, then have the chest-wall pain (my main symtom). BTW... good luck with AS. Prior to joining this forum, I read some of the past posts, and yours came forward as a real success story.

I have had two shots of Humira, I constantly have sinus issues, pain pressure, teeth hurt and hedaches. I got them on enbrel and after 9 years it quit working, so tired remicade but after 4 infusions I had such a bad insus probelm I quit it also raised my blood pressrue a lot. I don't seem to be able to handle hard core antibidoics so I can take zpack, and it helps, but I always seem to be back on it alteast every two months.

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!

My husband has ankylosingspondilitis and takes enbrel injections and has considered taking methotrexate before. Best of luck. Could be a real blessing from God :) and a healthy baby!

The hepatitis viruses (A,B, and C) are all relatively easily transmitted if a person is exposed in the right way. By exposure in the right way, I mean that one has to be exposed to another person's infection through whatever material is infectious. For hepatitis A the infectious material is feces, for hepatitis B the infectious material is blood or genital secretions and for hepatitis C the infectious material is blood but not genital secretions.

The concern here is generally no vaccine will be given within 12 hours of birth except hepatitis B ( that too if born to hepatitis B positive mother) and lot of study is happening on hepatitis B side effects on infants. Kindly answer the other query. If HBV DNA high means ( > 10^5 ) can i assume two conditions , one in acute phase , other having hepatitis B for a long time may be >10 years( or infected at birth)?

Hook answered your question with respect to HIV. Like HIV, hepatitis B is prevented by proper condom use. There is no risk and you need not worry about it. However, all sexually active people should be vaccinated against hepatitis B. You should discuss this with your health care provider next time you have a routine visit. MedHelp policy permits a maximum of 2 questions every 6 months on the professionally moderated forums (see Terms and Conditions).

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.

Here's a list of common and uncommon side effects of Enbrel: https://www.rxlist.com/enbrel-side-effects-drug-center.htm If you get a fungal infection, you should call your doctor immediately. 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.

My problem is that when I get off Enbrel, every joint in my body swells, turns red, hurts unbearably and locks up. I become completely bedridden and cannot get dressed or go to the bathroom without help. 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.

I have also been through the ringer with test for a yr and 4 months now, I finally found a Doctor that tells me ankylosing spondylitas, I just started Enbrel Friday and hope it works.
