I was diagnosed in October of 2015. I started out on Enbrel and Methotrexate 8 pills a week. After about 4-6 months my doctor took me off of the Methotrexate, not completely sure why, but I was glad. Now I still take Enbrel and have had good results. I am in remission now, and have been for some time. That is good, but doesn't mean, no pain, no fatigue, no other normal symptoms, it just means the medication is working, slowing down the damage and is being tolerated well. But, they say about the best we can do with this crazy disease is slow down or possibly stop the degeneration of our joints, but mostly, I just think it keeps it in control for a long enough period of time, that you know it is doing what it was designed to do. Everyone is different, I think, your chemical make of, with how much damage has already happened and different factors like that determine what the doctors suggest. Enbrel has worked for me from almost the beginning and as I read other people's experiences I feel pretty blessed. I will pray for you and your precious bride that whatever you try it will work for her. One last thing Sir, thank you for being so proactive to help your wife get the correct help. Not all partners have that much understanding, care or something. I just want to commend you because you stand out like a, beautiful rose, growing out of a rock in a hot climate. So, thank you!

Strange that he would take her off the methotrexate. usually a biologic is added to the methotrexate.

I didn't have any luck with Enbrel. The brain fog was really bad. I also was exhausted and just didn't feel right.

Embrel never helped me one bit. I was on Methotrexate with all of them and started having some issues so the Dr took me off it.
