I've only been on Enbrel for 2 months, but I feel like there has been some improvement along with the methotrexate. I was a bit leary about doing the sureclick the first time, but like someone else stated, it's a piece of cake! I would've never been able to do the syringe thing because of the immobility in my hands and fingers. Thanks Enbrel!

I just started this drug about 2 weeks ago.. I thought i would have faster progress.. but I'm finding out different. This medication is to expensive to not work. But i'm hoping by my first month is over of my weekly shot .. that it will bwe working.. If nmot I'm calling in a lawyer with the company that makes this medication and tell them about false addvertisment.. then the button sticks.... ...

I've been on Embrel for two years. Now my copay is over $3,000. Who can afford that. My insurance has paid over $30,000 this year for my prescription. Now Amgen says I no longer have any benefits remaining on my "copay card". Amgen is a giant company who doesn't care about patients only profits. How could they be allowed to profit from insurance then tell me my benefits are exhausted. Sounds like a intentional effort to extort patients who need ongoing medication. Be Ware and consider other medications covered year round by your insurance plan. Read More Read Less

Enbrel has work extremely well for over 10 years now. Reduces and controls severe plaque psoriasis but doesn't eliminate. Works extremely well for psoriatic arthritis. Completely eliminates pain and swelling in all joints. Takes effect in as little as 24 hours if I haven't had a does in a couple of weeks. SureClick devices are virtually foolproof.

After my group insurance provider began covering the drug, I used it for a year and it did help my RA immensely. However; the cost has increased to prices that range from $3,500 to $6,000 per month and insurance companies are not covering it or the co-pay is around $1,000 per month. This is especially true with Medicare Part D coverage. Unfortunately, it is not financially feasible to continue this medication.

Before Enbrel I tried four other medicines that did not work. Since starting Enbrel 6 months ago my condition has greatly improved. I have noticed a marked improvement in pain and swelling is now way less frequent. I am very happy with Enbrel.

I noticed improvement the day after my first injection. I told my doc it was like my body was a thirsty sponge and this drug was the water it desperately needed. I have been on it for only four months now and the improvement in my condition is remarkable.

I have ankylosing spondylitis which is a stiffening of the spine and also a rheumatoid arthritis. I have been taking enbrel for about 9 years now and it has been a miracle for me. No problems at all. I now get out of bed with no pain. And no more stomach problems which I got with the pills.

I have AS. Enbrel gave me my life back. I have been diagnosed after being in pain for years. I don't know if it's because I am a girl or that I was showing enough wear in my xrays but when I was finally diagnosed and given the medication I had immediate relief. Within the first 2 days I was able to roll over in bed. Do you know what its like to get a good nights sleep after being tired for so long? I do and it's because of Enbrel and my Rhueumatologist. I can tell when I am getting to the end of the week because I start getting sore but when I take the shot I'm all fixed up again. It took about 5 months to feel the full effects but now I am doing great. Read More Read Less

My reaction to the 3rd injection was a huge melon size area of redness, swelling, heat & pain. Even my Rheumy had never seen an injection site that bad. I may have had an allergic reaction to a property in the injection. I started taking OTC Benadryl. Thank goodness I had a Lidocaine (Lidoderm) patch which saved me from scratching it raw. OTC Hydrocortisone cream didn’t help at all. I secured the patch with scotch packing tape around my leg on top & bottom. It kept the patch from falling off during the night & I was able to sleep. The swelling continued to the back of my leg the next day but it wasn’t as red & painful. The swelling went down in a week. The discoloring of the area eventually faded after 3 weeks. I am sorry that I reacted to the injection. My 1st injection hurt a lot even when the thigh area was iced prior. My 2nd injection had a small amount of swelling & redness at the site about the size of a baseball which is what the studies reported so I didn’t sweat it. I was feeling much, much better and I was doing more than I have in many years with a lot less pain! I wish I could somehow continue with Enbrel. I also seemed to retain more water using Enbrel. I am going to try Orencia next. Read More Read Less

Had been on methotrexate for 6 months but had to come off it following a severe allergic reaction. Have now been on Enbrel for 15 months, and it is working very well. It took 3/4 months to kick in so recommend patience! Well worth the 8 seconds of "ouch" each week to have my life back.
