My niece used Enbrel for JRA and I cried when she called me to tell me that she could bend down and see her knee caps! And we cried when we bought her first pair of flip flops and cute sandals! Tears of joy of course... the Enbrel gave her the oppurtunity to be a normal lil girl!
Now my little cousin has psoriasis realllllllly bad. ok well he is not so little, a jr in HS now but when he was younger it was HORRIBLE. The poor child was just miserable and they used the Enbrel with him, didnt clear it all up but still a HUGE improvement. He didnt have any negatative side effects from it.
Not sure why they stopped using it but they did ($$ if I had to guess) but its back, not quite as bad.
