Guest guest Posted July 23, 1999 Report Share Posted July 23, 1999 Aunt Blabby...I am on the MTX and Enbrel combination. I have been on MTX for 6 years and added the Enbrel last March. I am 53 years old and suffer from PA and RA. I am also in daily pain. The addition of the Enbrel has helped, but I have also had several episodes of bronchitis and sinusitis since beginning the combination therapy. Many people say the Enbrel is a miracle, but for me it helped some but frankly not a lot. I intend to stop the Enbrel after talking to my doctor the next visit. I believe the fewer of these immuno-suppressive drugs we take the better off in the long term we are. If the Enbrel is not giving me significant results then it is not worth the added potential serious side effects....such as infections and possible malignancy. Good luck, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
