Joint pain

By Margie Friday, October 10, 2008

The Enbrel commercial is stupid,cause they claim they didn't know

that RA affects the joints. How dum can you get?

The thing that annoys me about the Enbrel commercials is that they always show happy, healthy, normal people doing all sorts of stuff pain free.  Anyone taking the stuff knows that even with the med, you still have pain and stiffness.  The general public sees the commercial and views it as a cure all... if you are taking it you are perfectly OK. Not a good message to convey. I am thankful for the positive results I have had from taking Enbrel the last 5 years, but it is not a cure most of the time.
