Hi all.
For those that this might matter to (me being one of them!), I just called the RN's at Enbrel (Enliven Services) to find out if weight gain is a side effect of Enbrel as I'm gaining weight.
Well folks -- yes, weight gain is a bona fide side effect of Enbrel. Now, like all side effects, you may or may not be affected by it. I unfortunately, am one who is.
I did lose weight when I went back to smoking (no lectures please), but I notice that I go up after my shots and then I level off. However, I'm still way over from when I first started my shots at the beginning of March.
I have no answers on if this will come off eventually or even how, but I thought if any of you were wondering why you might be gaining weight and are on Enbrel, you might want to consider this.
Enjoy your day no matter what you're doing.
