Marie Age 52 Whistler, British
Columbia, Canada Marie loves the
mountains. She and her husband moved
their family from Niagara Falls to
Whistler to enjoy the hiking and skiing
that Whistler Mountain offers. But in
1997, at age 45, Marie started to experience
stiffness and pain in her joints and was
diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Within three years, she was forced to give
up most of her favorite outdoor activities;
she even had diffi culty performing daily
tasks. In 2001, Marie began treatment
with ENBREL®
. Today, she enjoys many
of the activities she had previously given
up
—
including skiing on the mountain
she loves so much.
Jarrod Age 29 Granada Hills, California
Keeping in shape is important to Jarrod,
and it should be easy for him to do in sunny
Southern California. But until recently, his
psoriasis too often got in the way. His skin
lesions became infl amed and itchy whenever
he exercised, and he felt uncomfortable in
shorts and other revealing exercise clothes.
In 2003, Jarrod entered a clinical trial
for ENBREL®
. He has remained on the
medication for almost two years. Now,
Jarrod says he can exercise freely and enjoy
the outdoors as much as he wants.
