28F, HLA-B27 positive, with MRI and X-ray findings consistent with axial spondyloarthritis / ankylosing spondylitis.
I had been having on-and-off pelvic/hip pain for about past 7 years, but this February I had a severe flare that left me almost unable to walk. I saw a rheumatologist for the first time at the end of February and started Enbrel right away in early March.
I just took my 9th injection and had my checkup labs done today. My inflammation markers are now completely back in the normal range!!!
CRP: 32.8 → <1.0 mg/L
ESR: 95 → 7 mm/hr
This feels like a miracle😭 A few months ago I could barely walk, and now I feel like I have my life back!!!!
EDIT : I woke up to so many kind comments and I’m honestly so touched❤️ I should have titled this post “Huge thanks to biologics and this community." Thank you all so much!!
