Re: Is this how life is with Stills?

[Guest guest]

, I just read your email and totally empathize with your

hopelessness. Isn't it an awful future to imagine? I think I was

about six months into treatment (first prednisone, then added

methorexate), going through everything you are when my doctor said,

" this is crazy--why don't you try Enbrel? " (I was totally resistant

to the biologics). Three years later, my life isn't " normal " like it

used to be, but it's a lot more " normal " than what you're describing.

I'd actually forgotten that I used to take two or three naps a day

and cry over the simple task of getting dressed. Now I still work

full time in a job I love. I hope you get some good treatment/relief soon!
