Subject: Embrel

Has anyone had the same experience as me with Embrel? I started a few months ago and it helped so much with the pain and mobility but I developed itching and then a rash and had to stop for several weeks. Am now trying to get back onto half a dose but not sure how good my chances are. It would be such a help to know if anyone has managed to overcome the same problem.

Hi Jill, I might see if one of the other anti TNFs is any better. Thanks for your reply.
