Hello everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone out there is on Enbrel for Crohn's?
I used to be on Humira but my insurance stopped paying for it. However, in a massive example of stupidity, they would approve Enbrel.
I still don't understand.
Anyway, I have a 3-month supply of Enbrel currently. However, I don't see anything on Enbrel's website about its use in managing Crohn's disease.
I don't know if I need to do a "Starter Dose" (like with Humira, where one injects 4 times the first time, twice the second time, and then one time every other use) or just use it once a week. My doctor, when asked, shrugged and said "do what's on the box".
So, aside from needing a new doctor and new insurance, I'm looking around to see if anyone has any advice or stories about Enbrel and their experience with Crohn's?
Best,
Jeff
