Walk,
Welcome!
I tried Enbrel and Humeria and failed both. I am in my second year of remission on XeljanzXR. Now having said that, please remember that each of us responds differently to the medications. We may or may not have reactions, the meds may work for some time, then just quit working. I suggest you keep a journal of date, time, med, and any effects, then go over this information with your Rheumatologist.
I hope this helps.

I was on Enbrel and the only side effect was injection site irritation but after about 3.5 years it quit working. Now I am on Xeljanx and I love it. No side effects and it work really well most of the time.

I have been on Humira for 2 and 1/2 years now with wonderful results. AbVie covers it 100% for me. I haven't had a flair since. What a huge difference in my life! Good luck!
