Has anybody else been prescribed Enbrel?

[discoverlife]

DH has Rhumatoid Arthritis and has been put on a trial course of Enbrel 50mg. I was hoping for some personal feedback as to side effects and did it work for you.
So far DH hasn't had any side effects (week 1) and is so chuffed as he has had severe side effects with everything else so far. We just have to keep fingers crossed that it works for him. (It doesn't work for everybody).

Will watch this within terest, DH's consultant has sais this may be his next step for PsA.
Glad things are going ok so far.

DH was on a dosage trial for 6 months for psoriasis and psoriatic arthrits and it worked very well. He is currently waiting to find out if the nhs will grant the funding for him to continue on it, but his liver enzymes were quite raised at the end of the trial so he has just undergone a liver biopsy to try and determine why. Hopefully it will all be fine and he can return to the medication, as whilst he is off it the pain, poriasis has returned very rapidly.

DH has very minor psoriasis on his scalp. But it is Rhumatoid Arthritis that is his crippling problem.
