Has anyone been on Humira and switched to Enbrel? I'm struggling a bit with the Enbrel pen, I can't seem to press it as easy as Humira, although I do think it does not hurt as much as Humira? Just wondering if its just me and my funny hands!

    I'm afraid that I use the old fashioned syringes so I haven't tried the pens. Speak to healthcare at home (or whoever your delivery company are) and see if they can help. They often know what patients prefer because they deal with so many of us. In the meantime do you have someone who would be willing to do the injection for you?

    Hi luckbug! I made the swap the other way...was on Enbrel and switched to Humira...and your right Humira stings like a bee! yah! I use the old fashioned syringe and didn't even know it came as a pen, so thanks for the info...hope you get on OK with the Enbrel, so much easier! Dorcas x
