Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2004Monitoring visit
Its been just over a year since I started Enbrel, and I had my 3rd assessment today. (I had one at 3 months, one at 6 and another at 12). My ESR when I started on the Enbrel was 41, next visit it was 30, next 15 and today it is down to 6. I feel better than I have in a few years so hooray to Enbrel (and a little mtx). About the new syringe packs - I can't remember who mentioned it but the rheumatology nurse asked me what I thought of them. Apparently they have had loads of complaints about the needle in the pack being less than sharp, so they are going to meet with the drug rep about it. Oh, and they have had a letter already on my file about me being on the list for the TKR (that was quick - only 6 days!).. Jayne Hi Jayne , I noticed that about the new needles and mentioned it to my consultant and she said no one else had mentioned it and made me feel like a right girl so I'm glad its not just me! I'm still having a little trouble with my hands but my ESR is down to 9 so I'm pleased about that . Bummer about England being knocked out in the penalties, no change there, then !

Plus, they are a bit more knowledgeable about syringes and needles and stuff. Jayne Yep. I also complained about the needles when they rang me up about my next delivery. I feel that the new system is not as straightforward as the old one, more fiddly I think. But that is a personal view. They really should do something about the needles. In the US a year or two ago they were always complaining about the enbrel neeles. Don't suppose they are the surplus being used up here tho ???? Screw fitting rules that out I guess.

I could see how someone with really bad hands may have struggled. Jayne |
