Re: Good luck katie on Enbrel injections

[Guest guest]

and group;

I just sent you a post.. telling you good luck on your injections..

OMG you can walk on a treadmill wow that is wonderful. I am glad I am

off the predisone.. It kept me awake and it made me gain 15 lbs...

My humira injection is working great.. I had a flare but it was from

the weather and nerves but I am feeling ok.. I havent noticed any

weaight gain on the humira injections... been taking them 4 times

now.. Good luck on losing the extra weight.. I need to lose also..

god bless and take care

gentle hugs

another month (4 weeks) while I take my first 4 shots. He told me I

probably won't feel anything until I was off the Prednisone. So, we

will all have to wait to see how it works. I respond well to

Prednisone so I am keeping my inflammations down while Enbrel starts

working on my body.

walking program from the Arthritis Foundation,  I have seen many

changes in my body.  I am not losing any weight thanks to Prednisone

but at least I am not gaining more! If anyone wants to know more

about the program, please let me know.  I found it online on their

website. I talked to my doctor about it and said it couldn't hurt to

try it!  I have more energy in the mornings and have less pain. Once

I am able to get off the Prednisone I am hoping I can lose the 10lbs

I gained from the steroid.  Has anyone experienced weight gain from

Enbrel?
