Enbrel Sure Click

I inject the 50 MG Sureclick into the stomach. Some slight burning but leaving the unit out to warm a bit for awhile seems to help. The relief is worth the small amount of discomfort. I was diagnosed with RA about 5 years ago...took predinosone until I looked like a balloon, had cataract surgery, numerous other problems...once off the predinsone...took about 6 months the RA went beserk. Enbrel and Methadexrate have been a divine intervention. I work out three days a week and have not noticed any weight gain. Do feel good most of the time, occaisonal light flare up.

DON'T USE THE SURE CLICK IN THE LEG. PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN!

i'm 17. i was diagnosed with AS about a year ago. i'm tough when it comes
to pain, i've never cried from shots before .. but i could not stand the
sureclick! i had only tried it in the leg before switching to the multiple-use
vials (that means i have to mix it myself). i don't feel it at all now. i mean, i
know thats tough for people who are sensitive to seeing needles, and maybe
the sureclick really isnt that bad if you don't put it in your leg ... but i'd
definitely start with the 25mg syringe first... but thats just me.

good luck with whatever you choose!

I am new here.  I just started googling "enbrel pen" and found this site.  I've been on Enbrel for about 5 years.  I actually was a trial patient before it really came out.  I have JRA and I've had it now for 22 years (since I was 2).  I've tried every drug available and nothing has ever worked except Enbrel. 

It's amazing to me the things that I can do that I used to not be able to do before taking Enbrel.  I went ice skating last week for the first time.  Before Enbrel, if I went roller skating, I could not walk for an entire week!  So, I'm pretty excited about that.

I'm waiting for my next prescription of the enbrel one shot injection pen.  I'm too chicken to give myself the regular shot so I'm hoping I'll be able to do this one on my own.  Anybody out there used it yet?

I have had some dull needles w/ the 2x a week dose of Enbrel, but nothing I can't put up w/ for the wonderful benefits I have from it.

Yeah, the sex thing is HUGE. I, too responded very well from Enbrel. It has been a reawakening!

I have been on embrel over 2 years for rheumatoid,firstly was fine had remission but in the last year my joints especially my right foot was geting unbearable in the end hardly could walk,iv just had a ankle replacement,but did have to stop Embrel 3 weeks before the surgery,i must add.my surgeon was very adamant no drugs at all because of the major op.i would say it worked at first but its supposed to slow down the deformity and il be honest how does that work when iv just had to have surgery.im just 50.very young for this operation,so far so good 3 weeks on no embrel,my joints are not too bad but today i have taken the first shot 50mg i just cant get along with the new shape bevel needle i always bleed and find it so hard.do you.I a not sure if i will continue this drug i will discuss with my rheumatoligist when i next see him maybe something different.I think in my heart the docters do not know enough about this drug and the side effects,my hair was falling out also and i am seeing a dermatologist so just talk with your rheumy and see the options.thanks tess.
