Actually started enbrel last Wednesday I could tell a difference the next day. That stuff surprised the hell out of me with how well it worked.

Why is it called a 'biologic' and not a pill?

I know 2 people.

My boss took it for a few short months before he found out he developed stage 3 lymphoma. He's on his last leg of chemo.

A friend is currently taking it for Crohn's disease. Told him he needed to keep an eye on it.

I'd highly recommend avoiding it.

I don't know what these are, but I still have a very strong opinion about them.

First of all, they're trashy. Secondly, most people who use these are compensating for something and don't take the time to do proper research on their effects. If you don't have children, you won't understand. In short, you're making a bad decision and I'm smarter than you.

I know someone who takes Enbrel for RA. It has worked wonders.

I've been on both Humaria and Cimzia. Humaria is much better,but more expensive. Make sure you get the needle instead of the pen, the pen is like a fricking nail gun! I tried a holistic diet and was in the hospital within two weeks. Just watch the side effects.
