Enbrel Side Effects

‎06-11-2014 02:31 PM

Does anyone get a headache after their injection? I gave my injection on Saturday afternoon and later in the evening I had a horrible headache which lasted until almost Monday morning. There are times after the injection that it doesn't bother me. So maybe it's not from the Enbrel. What is your thought on this?

I have been taking Enbrel since 1998 and I have never had any side effects---certainly no headache associated with it. The only thing I experience is redness and occasionally some swelling at the injection site. For me, it has been a godsend.

I am in the same boat as Karlakaye-no side effects except occasional issues at injection site. I have never had a headache or other physical side effects. It has been a real miracle drug for me also.

I would suggest you contact your rheumatologist about this to see if it is a serious side effect. I don't recall it being mentioned in the paperwork, but I have been on it for a while, so I may have forgotten.
