Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Well this goes back to everyone reacts differently to meds.....I've been on Enbrel for about 1.5 years now......and for a little bit it seemed to help.....now nothing seems to be helping me......And....I've been on 5 rounds of Antibiotics since January AND still have an infection. The doc is Finally concerned about these infections.....but hasn't decided what to do......so out of 12 weeks of injections....I missed 6 weeks this last go round. I wasn't sick for 3 years before I got RA.....now I seem to stay that way...and in the last 4 months...it's gotten worse. Is it the Enbrel? or the MTX? who knows.....but somethings not agreeing with me......I'm stopping the Sulfa something drug for a bit to see what happens....cause one of them is also causing me severe abdominal/intestinal pain. ...... Oh the Joys of RA eh? lol. Enbrel is like anything else tho...you don't know..til u try it. Good Luck !!Carla Subject: EnbrelI'm thinking of asking my rheumy about Enbrel when I see her next week.I think I need something more than the MTX I've been taking. I'mnervous about infections, though. I've had one cold in 2 years, haven't missed a day of work. But my hands and feet hurt and I'm SO tired again.My last X-rays revealed an erosion despite being on MTX. Thoughts aboutbiologic safety? Your own experiences with infection?Sierra -- .-.. .-..
