Hi Paula

Great to hear that you are doing so well on Enbrel. Long may it last!!!!

I'm due to see the nurse next week about starting either Enbrel or Cimzia. Having read all the info I was feeling quite scared , especially with all the stuff about potential side effects.

Thanks for posting your experiences- it's made me feel happier about it all and not so apprehensive. I've got to the stage where the mtx and sulfasalazine's not really working and although I'm not keen on yet more drugs, I can't carry on in my present state. I'd love to get some of my old self back again, so hopefully it will work out for me. I'm not getting too hopeful yet, though.

Just one question- how do you deal with taking it on holiday? We're due to fly out to Italy in August.

Thanks again.

Maria x
