Enbrel, how long till it started working

I take Enbrel with MTX. I had RA for years before Enbrel was approved in the UK and I started taking it in 2003. .

It made a gradual improvement and it was over a period of months . It definitely made a difference and I hope it helps you too .

It was within days for me. I took my first injection and on my 3rd day afterward I woke up in the morning and had almost no morning stiffness or soreness whatsoever. I woke my wife up because I was so excited. It was like the commercials is the best way I can explain it, I wish it was this way for everyone but I seem to be in the minority.

I took it from 1999 to 2012 and it worked really well for about 10 years. I still had aches and pains but NOTHING like what I had prior to it or even what I deal with now on a daily basis. I hope that it works as well if not better for you.

Hi There:

I'm very happy that Enbrel is starting to work for you already.

Unfortunately, none of the biologics worked for me and some others. I always appreciate when the biologics works
for RA patients. You and others are the proof. Good Luck for future wellness.

Gosh, you, me and most others. We all hope and pray for a cure for many years. Our immune systems are supposedly complicated. That's the hard part of the cure without using medications to tame our immune systems. Severe and moderate RA is a devastating disease alright. Not fair that we got it and not fair that many of the medications do not work for some of us.

Thank you Jd7! I know it is difficult but try to never give up. Take care!
