Hi Kylee, I've been on Enbrel for about 3 years but had a year off to try Humira - when that didn't work I went back to Enbrel.
It does take some time to build up in your system - you should start to notice if it does any good 8 - 12 weeks after starting. Even then it will take time to really get going.
I'm lucky to have few side effects - my hair fell out a fair bit at first but there is no chance you will lose it all - just get used to checking your shoulders after brushing it!
Sadly the Enbrel only works at about 50% for me. Apparently I should get more benefit from it than I do but at least it works to some extent. Hope it works for you!

hi, im starting my enbrel injections very soon after being on methotrexate for over a year! i struggled so much with the side effects of MTX that i was suffering as much as it was helping so they decided to change to enbrel as aparently the side effects arent at all as bad! Good luck with your treatment and hope it helps :) sez.

Hi AliBaba, I work for a market research company that specialises in the medical device field. We are looking for RA sufferers that inject Enbrel and either live in the London area or are willing and able to travel to London to take part in an interview. The interview will relate to a new device to help RA sufferers administer their drugs. We will pay £200 to cover expenses and the interview would last approx 90 minutes. Would you be interested? Please do get in touch if you would like to know more - george.ashford@creativemedicalresearch.com Best regards,
George
