Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I have been on Enbrel for two years now. They started me at 25mg, and my EN cleared up within 3 days. after about 4 months it came back. They changed my dose to 50mg, and I have been EN free since then. I have also suffered from Graves disease (also an Auto immune disease) for about 6 years, and have been on meds to control my thyroid levels. Well, the Dr. took me off my meds for three months to do some tests that needed me to be med free. My levels stayed good. Though I still have some signs of Graves like an enlarged thyroid, my levels are perfect. They are going to be running more tests on me, but I'm thinking that the reason why my levels are still good are because the immune suppressant in Enbrel for my EN is also fixing my Graves. I'm going to bring this up with my Dr., but I tend to drive her crazy with my self diagnosis so I thought I would run it by here first. Anyone else on Enbrel for EN that has problems getting better too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
