I have been on Enbrel for 8 months. After about 4 months I started to experience headaches. Immunex and my Rhumey says the enbrel is not causing it. I have AS for about 20 years, I'm 39. My neck was fused, I required a hip replacement, I could not touch my knee caps, I was really bent over, could not lift my arms above my head, I had pain in my rib cage and I was ready to go on perm disabilty.

Well, after the first few injections, I feel great and continue to feel great. I can jog, work normally, I even go bowling almost on a daily basis. One day I bowled 12 games straight, without pain. I now have a 3.5 month old son. My wife and I were trying for years and lost two. I stopped all the meds and things worked out. Enbrel worked miracles for me and my family.
