Sue and group;

Welcome Sue to our humble group.... Enbrel is a good biologic to

take,,,, I am on Humira Injections... My RA doctor said they are

both about the same.

Congratulations on the baby girl... Three year olds are so cute...

THey do so many new things... Everything is an adventure for

them... So sorry your RA came back with a big flare...

Yes,,,, I heard fish oil is great for inflamination.... I take it

also... I hope it continues to work for you... God bless and take

care.

gentle hugs
