Re: New PA diagnosis - ENBREL

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

Most of us on the board have had good luck with Enbrel, and none that I know

of have had the " horrible " possible side effects. Some of us have had a few

side effects, but nothing that was too major. I have been on Enbrel for almost a

month now, after almost 9 months of trying to decide if I wanted to or not.

The fear got the best of me, and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. You

can e-mail me with any questions. So far I have had no side effects, and I

have gone off of Celebrex (which I was on for 2 years) and Azulfidine (which I

was on for 8 months). The only " maybe " side effect is headaches ocassionally,

but I don't know if that is from Enbrel, or just my head!

Please e-mail me with anymore questions. You can write me personally at

pookiegut@.... (Just so I don't scare you off, my nickname for my cat is

" pookiegut " .

I'm 35 tomorrow, and this is a whole new world for me. I'm just

trying to get a sense of it.
