She's been on prednisone this month while switching from methotrexate. I'm praying that the enbril works for her. I can't stand to see her suffer.

I hope the prednisone has given her some relief and that the Enbrel does the job for her. I know her pain all too well.

I really learned a lot going on that forum, so she may want to do that when she feels up to it. If the Enbrel burns a lot, she can ice wherever it is she shoots. I take the Enbrel pen out of the fridge a few hours before I shoot. I wrap one of those medical ice packs around the top of my thigh with an ace bandage for 5 minutes or so before I shoot. Really helps with the burning.

Give Enbrel some time to work. If for some reason, it doesn't help her, there are other options, but I hope the Enbrel works for her.

I only pay 50 bucks a month for 4 pens, thankfully.
