Enbrel update | Arthritis Information

Hey everyone, I took my second dose of Enbrel yesterday. Other than an immense headache and dizziness immediately after injecting (and for an hour or so after), all was well. I did have problems when I went to bed though. I had that "restless legs" feeling but it impacted both my legs and arms. I didn't sleep well at all and I had those lovely night sweats. What's the deal? I actually felt worse this morning than I did yesterday - you would have thought someone threw me down the stairs. It's gotten better as the day has gone on though. I just want this cRAp to all go away, ya know?

I hear ya!  I am glad that it has gotten better.  Is this the first biologic??  I felt worse after my second Humira shot, just like you were describing other than the RLS.  The third shot I took Tylenol before I took the shot, and it seemed to go just fine.  In fact, I had about three hours of pain relief.  I am going to do the same this week(shot 4), and see if I get more pain relief.  I would love to be even close to a remission by Christmas.
