Re: Stopping Enbrel Temporarily - Experiences?

[Guest guest]

I have had to do this several times as I infections and surgeries. My

experience has been that I find Enbrel to be less effective eachtime I have

had to restart it. What that means is that I find more and more symptoms

come back even after I have been back on Enbrel for months. I also take MTX

and yes I have stopped it at the same time as the Enbrel.

Good luck with your surgery! I find in all seriousness keeping a good

positive outlook on the process helps me through the painful periods.

I have stopped my Enbrel before for about a month and I didn't really have many

problems...I had a little swelling and pain, but it was not that bad. As soon as

I started taking it again, all the pain and swelling stopped. There were no

problems going back on it.

hi,

when i once stopped Enbrel for a month, ive experienced some joint pain which

was predictable, yet what i haven't expected was that the psoriasis became very

bad and in new places never had before. but bear in mind that each one of us his

body would react differently, i wish u good luck and may your experience would

be better than mine. God bless u
