Whoa! Enbrel is #5 on the list!

I give myself an injection once a week and it helps my arthritis so much!

I searched the report and couldn't find anything specific about what the adverse events for ETANERCEPT were. I could find this:

I wonder if a lot of people are getting TB. I know I get a TB test every year from my rheumatologist.

And on an unrelated note, I looked at the QuarterWatch Report link and it talked about 'how two Zicam brand over-the-counter cold remedies were being blamed for people losing their sense of smell or taste, many permanently'. http://freepdfhosting.com/4194e9a84f.pdf

Holy Moley! That explains why we haven't been able to find the type on the shelf that worked for us! Glad they pulled it! Can't wait to tell my husband about this!

PS - doesn't surprise me about Cymbalta - I don't want to take it after dealing with Prednisone withdrawal.
