Painful to inject, have to take it weekly instead of once a month like some other drugs.

This medication has helped with the swelling and stiffness caused by RA, but I have also experienced an increase in excema outbreaks. I was wondering if others experienced the same.

I have ovarian cancer. My oncologist told me it started 7 years ago. Exactly the time I started Enbrel. I believe this medication caused my cancer.

Enbrel has changed my life, the fatigue is much better, I can live more normally now, the pain is much better in the joints, ability to walk, was able to come off plaquinel, been on it one year now and what a difference. I used to get the welts on legs from shots but also use the abdomen and don't have that problem.

My wife of 40 years began taking Enbrel about 8 years ago. It worked like a real miracle drug. But within 2 years, she developed vision problems, and a neurological condition known as demyelination of the neurons. The Neurologist told us the Enbrel was the cause. She stopped the Enbrel at that time, but some permanent brain damage was done. It stopped progressing when she stopped taking Enbrel. Last year she was diagnosed with several diffuse, Type B, large cell, non-hodgkins lymphomas, the very cancer that Enbrel warns about in the fine print. This responded well to chemotherapy (R-CHOP). However, the demeyelination suddenly accellerated during her treatment and she suffered long and died of the neurological side effect of Enbrel. Enbrel kills. Rember that and think it over before you use it. And it kills decades after it's use is begun.
