Voices of Experience
Hear from people who use ENBREL
We've talked to many people like you who use ENBREL. Mothers. Fathers. Teachers. Mechanics. Musicians. They range in age from small children to great-grandparents. They come from many different parts of the country. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and plaque psoriasis have affected their lives, and now so has ENBREL.
What ENBREL patients say:
"When I was diagnosed, it was a shocking revelation. It impacts your life so much."
-Randy R., ENBREL PsA Patient
"It's really scary when you can't get out of bed in the morning and you wonder if you can support your family."
-Jim J., ENBREL RA patient
"If the disease has taught me anything, it's that life is so short. You've got to enjoy it, embrace it."
-Glenda P., ENBREL RA patient
"Not only is this a physically painful disease; there's also a social aspect, which takes as much time and effort to deal with as the pain."
-Chris K., ENBREL PsA patient
"I've made a lot of positive changes in my life because of RA. I don't drink alcohol, don't stay out late, and find ways to ease pressure at work. I stay active and keep my joints moving."
-Hossien A., ENBREL RA patient, with daughter
"Just because you have an illness, it shouldn't stop you from doing anything you really want to do."
-Brooke S., ENBREL JIA patient
"Don't over-pressure yourself. Know when to take a rest."
-Hossien A., ENBREL RA patient, with daughters
"Now I'm out and talking more about my arthritis. If I can understand my disease, and be vocal about it, maybe I can help someone else. Early diagnosis and treatment are so important!"
-Janet J., ENBREL RA patient
"JIA forces you to learn a lot of adult lessons at a young age."
-Julia M., ENBREL JIA patient
"With Enliven Services, I felt in touch with people who were going through the same things I was. It really helped."
-Dorothy C., ENBREL RA patient
"Having this experience with AS has reminded me how important people and families are."
-Marrilee K., ENBREL AS patient
