How long have you been on enbrel? Have you tried other biologics? Are
you on the once weekly or twice weekly dose?

Once weekly, and I think its been about six months now. I haven't tried any
others.

and the whole time its been with Methx? Methx. and Arava are taken with a anti-tnf as a helper which I tried for a month to explain to my insurance,,,,, its not either or but a combo to get the job done. You stop taking one of them and wonder why you hurt....... I have done the same thing several times.

No, I'm on MTX too. I just waited an extra day for it this week since I needed to be active on Monday. This had been really gradual coming on to where I wasn't even sure it was happening.

I'm going to have to start some sort of daily log of how I feel for the next doctor visit. I really hate to do that because concentrating on how I feel just about never makes me feel any better.

I'm the sort that can think I'm doing almost OK and when I get to the doctors office and the nurse takes my vitals and asks for pain level on a scale of 1 to 10, I just about burst into tears to have to evaluate it.

Still, I can see I'm going to need the information.
