Re: Re: Enbrel, Humira or Remicade

[Guest guest]

Hi,

When you are on an injection, is there a chance the methotrexate will be

decreased? I have a feeling it'll remain the same, I'm on 8 a week now.

I'm on Enbrel. It made a pretty big difference after one injection. I

have had 2 injections now. I can finally squat down and sit on the

floor again. I don't have any morning stiffness.

I am on methotrexate too.

I'm on remicade and after 6 months, he decreased my mtx from 3 to 2 a week,

basically after pleading but I'm having SUCH a problem with the left heel that

when I go back to him this week, I have a feeling he's going to increase the

remicade to 4 vials and maybe the mtx too. mary
