Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report 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 -- .-.. .-..
