REPORT

I have been taking Enbrel for three weeks and although my RA has reduced significantly the side effects are rough. I a, sick to my stomach, I'm crying at the drop of a hat and I have no energy, just to name a few.

I'm sorry that you've both been having such problems. Are either of you feeling better, yet?

These are listed among the possible side effects provided by the FDA. You may also experience bladder pain, blurred vision, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

Can anyone else that's been on this chime in with their experiences?

Dr. decided to give Enbel another try. I'm still having difficulties with site injection irritation. I have taken one injection on this round and already the rash it about 8 inches in diameter, red, bumpy and extremely itchy. I have major headaches and slight blurred vision.

However my RA indications are reduced. I will be giving it a few more weeks before I decide if I am going to stay on Enbrel or not.

It is going to come down too which is more dibilitating the side effects of Enbrel or RA.

I started Enbrol 2 weeks ago fo RA. I did the first shot on a Wenesday and had to call out sick Friday. So tired, dizzy, sick. Anxiety, high blood pressure and brain fog. This week I did the shot on Thursday and today, Saturday I'm just getting out of bed. It's 3:30! Dizzy, couldn't hold my head up and sick to stomach with toe cramping not able to sleep. It might work well on the RA but not worth the side affects. I'm done, no more. I am tempted to just go back on Humira which worked for me for years. The doc thought I should try Enbrel because there was still some swelling and pain but at least I could get out of bed most days on Humira. If it doesn't bother you stick with it since my joints felt better so it must work.

Unfortunately the headaches, heartburn and being so tired for the first couple of days just doesn't seem worth it. I have one more month of meds and then I will make my final decision but at this time I can say it does not look like I will be staying on Enbrel.

For those that do get the injection site irritation I have found that if I put an ice pack on the injection site immediately and keep it on for most of the night it reduces the swelling considerably.

I hope this helps someone.

Hi I started Enbrel two weeks ago. My first on a Thursday. I usually look after grand daughter at the week end. The first day day so tired. Then on the Saturday I had to get some one to come round and get my grand daughter. Sunday looked after g/daughter but was felling not well. So tired. The next one I have been so I'll with, and still in bed. Light headed so tired eyes seem weird. Not hungry. It has been ten days since my second injection, als a five inch rash, still there. Doctor has told me not to take it at the moment. Go back and see her next week. Although the RA. Has eased a bit. I can not stay like this. Crying, no patience etc...tired and a fatigue so different to the RA type.

Enbrel. Ok so i have had bronchitis and pneumonia off and on since Thanksgiving so I have been unable to take my enbrel and methotrexate. Of course my body is hurting with out these meds.

But my main question is regarding getting cancer while on Enbel. I know of four women, two of which have since passed away that swear they got their cancer because they were on Enbel.

Can someone put my mind at ease and tell me this is just a coincidence? My husband has been pleading with me to stop the combination of Metho and Enbrel. He however does not feel the pain level of my RA when I go off the Meds.

I have developed a sugar craving since starting Enbrel about 4 months ago with resultant weight gain, which is not a good thing for arthritis. Is it just me?
