No Paul not me. I seem to get real bad headaches every few days. But Enbrel has been great. Mike..

No shakes from shooting Enbrel here: It does cause me to break out in cold sores around my mouth.I also got a swollen lymph node a week ago behind a cold sore on my chin in the below the mouth area.Sticking a needle in yourself is not a normal thing for humans.I take a mild trank called ativan or maybe a can of budweiser before I attempt to stick myself.My guess you are having a normal reaction to sticking yourself with a needle.Perhaps you need to calm down like I do with some minor depressant just before bedtime.i hope this is helpful.Needles are a drag but Embrel has recently provided much smaller less painful ones which i hardly feel.

Sorry Paul - no Enbrel knowledge here. I just couldn't resist telling you that this sounds scary. You need to get it sorted out so that you're fit and well, ready for me to torment you next hockey season  Maggie

Hi Paul!
Yikes! Sounds scary and perhaps you should call the doc if it happens again. I have been on Enbrel for just shy of a year now, and no shaking for me. I had some immune related issues when I started, but that all worked itself out.
Take good care!

Hi Paul, I'm not on Enbrel but from what the others have said maybe it's a good idea to call your doctor to let him know what's going on. Michelle   'Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.' --Lao Tzu

Hi Paul, I haven't experience any ill effects from Enbrel. I would have to agree with the others and advise you to let your Dr. know about this episode. How long after your injection was it? KeepKickin'AS Chris
