enbrel

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 how long did you actually take the methotrexate?
1544019 tn?1318504526 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.

422104 tn?1209763904 Well today Iwent to pain managment and he said my leg pain is prolly coming from the L5 hitting a nerve as he looked at my last MRI, well I was sent there for a steroid injection in the sacriolic joint I just hope he is right and he said he doesnt agree with the AS thing, but the L5 wouldnt cause all the pain and swelling in my hands as I did to much last night and this AM i was so bad and my hands were swollen all day, if I dont have the AS thing then taking this Enbrel is just a hazard to me e
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 ve read your responses to other posts and they were helpful too. Did either of you suffer from any serious infection while taking the enbrel? If so, how bad was it? Did you have to stop enbrel for a while? Also, I'm a bit confused about what you said, Smittygirl, because my doctor said that I should start feeling better in a few days after starting taking enbrel. It took you three months to see any improvement. Is it because you waited longer or maybe your case was more severe?
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 n tn 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. I SEEM MY RA DOCTOR THE OTHER DAY AND ADVISED HIM I'M GOING TO GET OFF OF THE ENBREL AND SEE IF MY THROAT CONDITION IMPROVES. HE DID NOT THINK THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.
422104 tn?1209763904 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?
Avatar f tn I am on Enbrel and has to stop taking it for four weeks because of an upper respiratory infection. I started back two weeks ago and this brings back to memory of when I first started the injections and how if affected my stress and outlook.. I am an emotional wreck, mad at everyone and just miserable .. has anyone else experienced these things with taking Enbrel ?
Avatar f tn The first thing that came to mind for you is to contact the company that makes Enbrel.. Not sure how differently things work in Canada but here the drug company is paying the co-pay for the first year so I have no out of pocket expense at all. I completely understand your concern, I have been on it for only 4 months and am concerned that the 3 or 4 weeks I won't have will take me back to square one. I'm going to do some research for you this morning and see if I can help you.
1240295 tn?1268201854 Hi...Im not sure the original poster will see your response because this thread is over 2 years old. Also...I wanted to mention Clobex spray to you. I suffer from Psoriasis as well and none of the steroid creams helped. I refused Enbrel because it increases the risk of Lymphoma and other things. I use Clobex spray and it has worked wonders!
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 f tn Recently, the RA flared up and my doctor added Enbrel. I have severe headches and feel like my heart is beating so fast that i get dizzy. The doctor thinks that this is because I am on yet another medication and my body has to adjust. Is anyone familiar with this drug? Has anyone gone as far as to have a second opinion for their RA? I just find it scary to give you one drug to have to counteract side effects with another. Then they add more.
Avatar n tn d like info on natural enbrel alternative.
Avatar m tn Hi everyone. I've been taking Enbrel for about 6 months successfully for my AS. I had to suspend taking it once for a sinus infection, but then I resumed. Now I have poision ivy, and my rheumy's office manager recommends I stop the Enbrel, but for poison ivy that seems extreme. Has anyone had a similar experience, or does anyone have any insights to share on this? Thanks.
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 m tn 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?
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 Ok, heres one for anybody out there. Has anyone tried the Enbrel, had no luck with it and gone on to either the Remicade or Humira and gotten results? It's a beautiful day here in the NE and the pup is telling me it's time to get out there! Make it a good day everyone and I will check in later today. Sue & Casey, ha ha!
Avatar m tn Can you take enbrel for psorasis and interfern for Hepatitis C, and be safe and will both medication work
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 n tn Hi Lisa, Welcome to the forum, like TX I also have AS, I just want to be sure your reference to "ALS" was a typo ad you don't actually have ALS. Can I ask how you injured your ankle etc... I'm sure you already know this since you have the disease but AS can cause inflammation, pain and stiffness in the shoulders, hips, ribs, heels and small joints of the hands and feet.
