Enbrel is very effective and doesn't have the liver impact methotrexate does. Easy to take, and I had zero side effects when I was on it. But after 3 years it lost its effectiveness for me because I needed more and the pre loaded pens are a fixed dosage. So I’m on a biologic now - Remicade - and after tweaking dosage and frequency i am incredibly well controlled and have no side effects.

There’s a magic medicine version of a glass slipper for you. Stick with the journey!

As I said I check my blood once a month for liver damage. So far so good. The methotrexate and plaquenil so far is working so I am going to stick with it until it doesn't work anymore. Also Enbrel is using a needle and is $1700 a week. Hopefully I won't need a biologic and the the methotrexiate will not effect my liver and I can continue on it. How expensive is remicade? I will keep posting if things change or I learn more
Thank you for your info
