User Reviews for Enbrel subcutaneous

Stopped all joint pain in hands and shoulders. Had to go off of Enbrel for by-pass surgery. Pain returned after 2 months off Enbrel. Start taking the medication again and was totally without pain within 2-3 weeks. Seems like a miracle drug. I take it together with methotrexate once a week. I prefer the needle injections over the sure-click. I was frightened of needles but now I'm an old pro (and without joint pain)!

I was able to start walking unassisted after starting this drug. This medicine also put my Chrohn's Disease into remission.

I have been on Enbrel for almost a year. For the past 15 years I've had to sleep on my side. With this I'm finally able to move around and my back has started to straighten out and I'm actually a little taller than when I started. The freedom that this has given me has been nothing short of amazing. I'm also rather afraid of needles to doing this myself has helped me overcome this phobia too!

This medication was prescribed for my 11 year old daughter. It is used in conjunction with Methatraxate. She has to also take Folic Acid supplements. Before starting the Enbrel, we struggled to control the inflammation, pain and fevers. She has not had a bad flare since using enbrel. She used to be very afraid of needles so it was hard to give her the med at first, but she has outgrown the fear.

very effective

It has worked wonders for my joints, the only problem I have with it is muscle weakness, which got better when I stopped taking it for 3 months, but I went back on enbrel and 4 months later the weakness has returned.

The cost was extremely high even with insurance and the results were poor.

It helped me tremendously. The injections hurt a little, the pain is well worth the outcome.

Almost complete relief from pain within a week.

Without this medication I couldn't type this. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. I will be losing my insurance and might not be able to afford it any longer.

Since taking this drug my psoriasis is practically nonexistent. I couldn't believe it worked so quickly.

This has cleared up my skin of psoriasis for the first time in over forty years. I have not had any noticable side effects.

After 2-3 months I felt like my life was given bk to me. It helped alot. The 1 shot a week stings but the 2 shots a week doesn't.

I have a site reaction every time I take the injection and have been on Enbrel for 5 months. Other than this reaction and an intense burning sensation with the injection, I have not had any other side effects that I am aware of.

I was on prednisone,after taking enbrel now for two months, I was nearly helpless, I had to resort to some prednisone so I could function(bathing, sitting on the stool, opening medication bottles etc.)
