Please help!
I have several concerns:
!. I work with children that are often sick and I am surrounded by colds, viruses, etc.,. If I take enbrel will I be sick all the time and less able to fight off infections(pneumonia, bronchitus, etc.).
2. About the side effects, specifically, cancer of the lymphs and
contaminated injection sight causing cancer( which is a top 10 cause of cancer). If you have family history of cancer does this increase the risks?
3. Once you are on enbrel can you go back to using the methotrexate if need be or is your immune system so dependent on this drug that nothing else will work?
I am hoping that I can get more information from this posting. I would like to know about other enbrel user's experiences,side effects, etc.,
Thanks--Concerned
