Subject: My story..
I've had RA for around 30 years and until the last couple of years it gave me few problems. I was on NSAID like Feldene and Diclofenac. However about 2 years ago it took a turn for the worse and I was put on Methotrexate which damaged my Lungs. Next was Leflunomide which gave me dizzy spells and then Gold Injections. I was going backwards fast and then I was put on Enbrel an Anti-TNF drug which I self inject once a week. Within 15 minutes the pain had gone and within two days I was able to return to my favourite pastime of hillwalking. Although I struggle with my Lungs going uphill the Enbrel as been a godsend to me.

Hi Lynne, 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
