Hey WCD, I have been taking the Enbrel injections for the last 7 years, i don't suffer with heart problems, but since a young child i have suffered with Rheumathoid Arthritis. I take Enbrel along with Methorexate they seem to work well together and relieve the pain.

I inject once a week in the thigh, i rather inject there than in the stomach it's more comfortable for me there, sometimes on injecting it can be quite sore, because of a EU ruling they made the injections a little more blunt, after injection your skin can get a little inflamed as well, a bit puffy really.

Over the last year or so i have experienced a bit of Anxiety and Adrenaline rushes , not sure if that was down to the Enbrel or general day to day living , birth of a new child etc. I was put on propanolol for while but was taken off it due to seasonal Asthma and was advised by the GP to try and find trigger points forthe Anxiety and try self help.

I would say that the Enbrel has really helped me control the massive ammount of pain that i was in and has really changed the way my life in a big way.

I wish you all the best with your new treatment and hope that it is successful to you.

Let's hope for a win this Sunday, Bluebirds

Are you having Cortisone injections to control the inflamation? That what i had early days and that helped control it for a few months, but the swelling comes back quite quickly, they also injected my knee to remove the fluid.
