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

Sounds as if you are doing great. I was just responding to your comment that if the methotrexate and plaquenil ceased to work, you might go to Enbrel - so i was sharing my experience and how it might offer advantages. Enbrel is a needle but only in sense that it’s a pre loaded pen. I’m not sure what kind of drug coverage you have but if you ever go that route, you can frequently get a big discount from manufacturers unless you receive any government income like social security. I had that with Humira from AbbeVie and only paid a fraction of the cost.
