i would like to know about these nodgles that i have.
i was told after going on embrel that they would go away.
have not yet. also i am tired all the time. feel nauseaed
alot of times. also lite headed. is all of this normal.
It could be normal you and me too…as that’s some of what I’m
experienceing on Enbrel…and so far…I still have all my nodules also.
Who knows…I think it’s all a Chance…sometimes meds work and
sometimes they don’t.
Hope you get to feeling better. We’re getting storms…arghhh…I’m
swollen like a balloon…

I also have been on Enbrel for a number of years and it has worked in a big way at controlling my RA but as for the nodules they are still there and have not changed at all. Some days I think they might be a bit worse but as for the pain it is under control…
I was told that the nodules, do not go away ~ that I would have to have them surgically removed ~ I have them on my boney part of the side ankle. I was also told that the chance of them coming back is great ~ so ~ Im stuck with them ~ as long as they dont grow to be huge and nasty to look at Im okay with them ~ No one seems to want to say what they are comprised of ~ of why the appear ~ My thinking is that it is something to do with the T-Cells ~ but Im not a dr. ~

fingers…looked like a bee sting on the fleshy part between two joints.
Hers were removed and didn’t come back. Her doctor said they were made up
of uric acid crystals… but couldn’t say why they formed. Just that the
condition was related to gout…and a side effect of RA…

casey1 I believe you need to change your preferences if you are getting emails ~ I (WE) are not specifically sending you emails ~ must have something to do with what you signed up for ~
I was unaware I sent you any emails personally. Please check your preferences in careplace.
