Hi, I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis about 5 months ago And was put on methotrexate. My condition kept worsening so I was put on Sulfasalazine aswell. This however is also not working so my rheumatology team has suggested I take Etanercept instead. I know this is an injection so just wanted to hear anyone else’s experiences with this as I’m slightly nervous about injecting myself! Also if it’s helped anyone’s symptoms at all?
Thanks
Thanks

Etanercept was the second drug I was started on after I was diagnosed (age 10) along side methotrexate and they worked well together. I used to inject myself also and still do now with my current medication if there's any advice you need. I didn't have any side effects on it either. Hope this helps somewhat.0
