Comment:
At first, I was petrified at the thought of giving myself weekly injections! Now after 6 months, I am totally at ease. The effect of this medication qlong with methotrexate has been amazing. After so many years of chronic pain everywhere in my body, this medication has renewed my spirit to face each day with courage, hope, and thanksgiving.

Diagnosed with RA 17-18 yrs ago. Tried everything available w/limited success. Until Enbrel. Became part of a 5-year study. Drug has been a lifesaver as far as I am concerned.
