Have been on Enbrel for 9 months. Seem to bruise very easily and have problems with what I would call blood blisters mainly in my forearms. Sometimes when I exert myself I notice like a blood blister that sometimes bursts and bleeds quite a bit. They seen to heal up and come and go..also seem to get bruises quite easily. Wondering if any other similiar situations? New to site and still trying to feel my way around..AS diagnosed in 93/symptons for 30 plus years.
Thank you,
Craced man

I've also noticed bruising easily, but no blood blisters.

The phamphlet does mention the bruising. Maybe put a call into your rheumys office to ask about the blisters???? Thyroid been checked lately???

How is the Enbrel working for you?

best

I don't have your problem but I have frequent headache/migraine and dry eyes as my enbrel side effects.

Just a thought...dry eyes can occur with AS too. I go through mass amounts of eye drops, but that started well before I started enbrel.
