Hi,
I was on Humira for 8 months and it didn't do much good. I am to start taking Enbrel on Weds. Has anyone here been switched like me? If so, how long did it take to notice any difference? Did you get releif from the Enbrel? I am anxious and have been on so many different drugs (as I'm sure others have) and I am either allergic or they didn't work. I'm praying this one does the trick especially with my energy level. I don't have any energy and sleep for 10,12, even 14 hours a night. I am sleeping my life away, and when I'm awake I feel so bad, I just want to go to sleep again. Vicious cycle.
Any body??
thanks
Hi Cindee,Hi Kimm, thanks for your reply. It was very encouraging and thanks for the prayers. I can't wait until Weds. to start. I hope it does the trick soon so I can do all the things I like to do for Christmas and have energy and not have to take pain pills. I felt so bad last year, I didn't even go with family to pick out our tree. They decorated it and I sat in the recliner. My kids (14 & 19) still like our family traditions and the last couple of years I haven't been able to do hardly anything. I want to make cookies, go shopping and LIVE!!!
So, again, you made my day. Thanks for everything and I will keep you posted on how it works.
Happy Holidays!
Just wanted to say good luck to ya CinDee. Hope you have as much success as Kimm.
I too switched from Humira to Enbrel. The Humira worked ok for me but I kept getting infections, the Enbrel seems to be kicking in now and I feel loads better without infections. I do have a UTI but not enbrel related as I suffer with them anyway I have just had to miss my enbrel while the antibiotics do their trick. I hope you get some relief from the switch.
