Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Rae, I remember those days of the rash,itching and bruising from Enbrel. I stopped Enbrel because of the cost not the rash or ineffectiveness. I was on it for several years with very good results. The rash and itching became less bothersome in time but I always had some. I actually got to the point where I looked forward to it because I knew relief was on the way.
