Has Anyone Had Issues With Enbrel? Started About 2 Months Ago And Everything Was Ok, Now I Am So Nauseous And Pain Levels Are Ridiculous!

I switched from Simponi Aria and chose Enbrel over Inflectra but wondering if I just do better with infusions. All opinions and advice is welcome.

I have read, and my rheumatologist told me that these meds don’t work for everyone, but there are many out there. They can change yours. I got lucky with Humira, but have been told, that if it stops working, they would try another. Some may work for a while and stop.

Thanks. I have disc protrusion too so I don’t know what’s going on but after my injection Wednesday the pain and nausea have just got progressively worse.

Hi Brandy so sorry to hear that the Enbrel is not working. I not sure if I had mentioned to you that I was Simponi it worked good but then stopped. They switched me to Cimiza injections it is really helping
