My daughter took Enbrel in 2010/2011 she ended up with severe headaches/ nausea ..after having cancer and chemo she has still had severe headaches after a biopsy of brain Doctors still don t know what it is...not cancer.. It can be an auto amune disease... she has been on dexamethsone for 6 weeks and is so bloated and swollen and no one can give us an answer... Dr. Gelfand of ucsf has been trying to find out some answers... do you think it could be from taking Enberl for almost a year...

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Its unlikely due to enberal. If all the possibilities have been ruled out until now then a possibility that it could be a somatoform disorder is also possible. You should try amitryptiline 25 mg for her, and she may even respond. Pregaba is another drug which can be useful.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
