Hi guys, I've had RA for 25 years and have taken just about every drug at one point or another (except pain killers, started those at 43). I started Enbrel in 1999 when it was still in trials, I got it through the VA as I am a 100% service connected veteran and did most of the trials and didn't have to deal with the manufacturers BS. Back then it was one shot every 2 days and that was way too much! We ended up with all kinds of strange illnesses, all the (or most) of the drugs we use were developed for transplant patients (antirejection). Anyway, if you have any questions, ask. I hope I'm not being too forth coming, I don't mean to offend and don't flame.
