Good result from seeing rheumatologist this afternoon

[lab-lover]

Well, that was a good consult, I will soon be starting on etanacept, lets hope it works better than the enbrel. Was told that some of may pain is due to having a big fibro flare up at the same time. To tide me over until I get the injections, I was asked if I would like a steroid jab..... no prizes for guessing my reply lol

[allanah]

I am so glad it went well and you can start the meds soon , well done x

Great to hear they are trying you on another anti-TNF, lets hope this one really workd for you. Yep a steroid jab is always good.....I'm living on Pred tabs until the New Year and am hoping Enbrel will be "the one" for me.
