2	Bonnie Lennen Says: Report Abuse Monday, 1/2/2006 6:57:30 PM Thanks for your input Donna - It took several specialists, and more than a few tests to determine that I too had a problem other than the arthritis! I did eventually end up witha Neurologist - and the problem was pin-pointed. Seems we have similar stories as I too feel like a new person - so glad it wasn't more Arthritis to deal with and especially glad in was in no way a side effect of Enbrel as I am doing so well on it. Thank you again - email anytime.

4	Bonnie Lennen Says: Report Abuse Wednesday, 2/1/2006 10:06:25 AM I think your question needs to be answered by her physician. I suspect the help Enbrel gives and the length of time it helps varies individually. I was off Enbrel for a while myself - and was happy to be back taking it. It works extremely well for me and I, for one, hope I can use it indifinitely. Your wife and I have the same type arthritis. My good wishes for health to both of you.
5	Geo Says: Report Abuse Tuesday, 9/15/2009 5:41:25 AM I just woke up from the worst nights sleep I have ever had, because my entire leg was in severe pain for about 4 hours throughout the night. coincidentally, I took one of my embril injections yesterday afternoon. This had never happened to me before, and does not seem to be a common side effect. However, I wanted to respond to your message because I did experience this pain for several hours after using this medication.

Are there any other questions?
