I am starting on Enbrel on 12/12/07

I am on enbrel for 5 years yet I must admit it has helped better than any other dmard

yet I still have frequent flares, but I believe

these flares would be much worse without

Enbrel. 

Blessings, wishing you less pain free days.

Hi Susan:

I have been on emprel for almost 2 years. I take 2 50mg shots a week. II have been on so much pain meds it cold hardley stand it, Including 90mg of morphene a day. Plus Vikoden.

Granted I have a ver extream case, So I'm told, But the emprel is defenatly worth a try. my pain meds are cut in half and I am getting ready to lower then some more I would try it. Good luck to you and God Nless, Johhny B in PA

I sympathize with you Suzanne. My mother had RA for 30 years before she died 15 years ago at age 60. She suffered a stroke. But the unbearable pain of the RA was a terrible thing to see a loved one suffer so much. I believe she was diabetic (as I am now) but was never diagnosed. I have just started taking honey and cinnamon and already feel less pain in my knees and my blood sugar has dropped.

I don't know if it will help you, but worth a try.

Beth
