First injection of Enbrel yesterday morning. Two hours after the injection, I felt almost like I was somewhere else because the fatigue was so intense. I slept all afternoon. I tried to have dinner, but I threw all my dinner up.

Difficult night: difficulty with breathing, itching all over, and migraines! Woke up very early with my usual pains. I woke up with the same dang fatigue and headache!

Since this morning, I have been dragging it hard. 

What were your experiences? Did anyone experience these kind of side-effects?

 Hello.

The first week is rough: nausea and headaches are common; I take another prescirption to help with the nausea, perhaps ask your doctor for some other medications that may help your symptoms.

The medication affects everyone different though. I would lay down and try and get some rest and do not over do it.

 

Please keep us updated and do NOT get discouraged. Our body will adapt!

Thank you @mark48‍ for your response. What other prescriptions do you take to help with the symptoms? I just do not want my cabinet to be full with other prescriptions, but whatever helps at this point!

Enbrel takes a few weeks to take full effect because it has to build up in your system. After it does, you should feel less like a knuckle dragger. emoticon monkey
