Anyone else woth the same problem. if so is there anything you do for it. Thanks

Hey Looney,

I am having the itching now too. I'm going to go buy some benadryl today, I hear that helps. I don't have swelling, just itching itching itching!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!! My legs, arms, shoulders........cortizone cream helps but its $4.00 for a tiny tube of it and I am lotioning my whole body with it. Good luck, I'll let you know if the benadryl works. And they say this is nnnnnnnnnnnnnormal??????????????????

TTTTTTake Care,
Donette

I started on Enbrel in December And I have to admit it has made my life SO much better. I can exercise take long evening walks.. I saw my RA 2 weeks ago and she said the the damage is still going to happen but it will slow down.. I am just so happy NO PAIN!! Well she moved my legs just the right way an I almost jumped off the table but my everyday "stuff" no pain YYIIPPEE I just kept telling myself This will make me feel better. I was at the point I would have done anything to make the pain stop. I am so happy for you you have made it through your second shot.. Gets easier from here on out!! Congrats!!
