Re: Cost of Enbrel AND good news about Prednisone

[Guest guest]

Wow, amazing news!!! I know it hasn't been easy for you. I had some

extra 10mg prednisone, that I was taking when I REALLY needed it. I

like to keep some in the medicine cabinet for the, " bad times. " It helps

so much, too bad it has so many bad side effects though. What a wonder

drug, huh? Are you planning to go off it completely?

I hope this new rheumy will be a keeper, there are a few out there. I

hope he will find the right med for you, and get you feeling better. It

seems like we have to struggle through life with the pain, and then we

have to deal with trying to get help.

Good luck, and let us know, Tawny
