Hello,

My wife thinks that it would be a good idea to stop Enbrel injections right now because of the Coronavirus to limit the risks of me getting sick.

I wanted to know what you all think about this and if your doctor or rheumatologist have told you to do the same?

Thanks,

Mark

@mark48 I'm no expert, but I'd say that you should probably talk to you doctor before doing anything. It's probably not a good thing to stop cold turkey, your body may not react well to that.

The CDC advises against stopping any treatment. They request that if you are worried to contact your prescribing physician.

I am in the severe range now at 74 yrs old. I have found thru trial and error and getting older with SA, I sleep on my back because I can hardly turn to my side now. I also take 10 mg Melatonin. I didn't know it came in 20 mg! (Thanks ladyslipper 67) What has really help with my back pain, when in bed, is a large memory foam wedge. The large end is under my knees and my legs go down to the small end. It doesn't move when I sleep but then again I am not turning over back and forth. This takes the pressure off my back. I hope this helps someone.
