Aye, had my eyes tested, and was supplied with a card to regularly test my eyesight against. I noticed a problem when I was driving - things in the distance started to swim about in a most disconcerting way. Luckily, my wife was in the car & took over driving.
Sorry to learn you had problems with etanercept. I've been on it for over a couple of years so far, and have yet to contract any infection. Fingers crossed...
It must have been scary having that happen, especially when driving. I hope entanercept keeps working for you. It worked wonders for me for 3 months before disaster hit. Just in case you don't know, there's a couple of new drugs that are said to be very good just becoming available. So if you do have any problems with etanercept in the future then there's other stuff to try. My rheumatologist did investigate them, but like the vast majority of RA meds they are immune suppressors so no use to me. Think I need the drug companies to find some sort of miracle drug to help me.
Hope you stay on top of this bloody awful disease.
