Here is another --these reports are subjective in contrast to the patientsville site:
http://www.askapatient.com/viewratin...95&name=ENBREL
Basically drugs like Enbrel reduce your immune system. The most alarming effects are increased viral and bacterial infections. (some may be subtle and some acute)
Enbrel has been linked to Non Hogdkins lymphoma, and this is thought to be a viral link. It is showing up in younger patients treated as youths, who then develop lymphoma later as they age.
If you feel your response to the Enbrel is less that great, it would be time to discuss this drug with your doctor to see if you could do without it. It is a major decision and a major causer of other serious things down the road.
