Hello starshine,
I was wondering if you could give me an update on your progression with Enbrel. I've been taking it since the last week in Sept. (13th injection) and things seemed to be going well; mainly I was finally able to sleep at night without pain keeping me awake. However, since Dec. by late afternoon every day I get a fever and then I collapse with weakness. My brain gets fuzzy too.
My lower back pain seems to be controlled mostly with a low-starch diet but I wake up with trouble breathing, due to 'reduced lung capacity' or lung scarring (depending on which doctor I speak to).
It feels like I've been living with the flu for the past month... Can I hope for some more energy soon?
