Re: Just Checking In- Sharon/Enbrel

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

I'm taking Enbrel with the Imuran and the prednisone also. I have noticed

that the Enbrel is helping, the few times that I had to stop injections

because of an infection - flares started happening worse and when I went back

on the injections things settled down which is nice! Hope that it works for

you, I'm trying to taper down the pred also, was going down by 5 mg but now

am going to start going down by 1 mg, have reached a spot where 5 is just to

hard to do and I don't want to have a major flare-up from that! Take good

care of yourself!

Hi Patty,

Thanks for the good report on Enbrel. That is

encouraging and I am hopeful of getting the same good

results.

I always cut my prednisone by only 1 mg at a time. I

am so sensitive to it that even a 1 mg cut can cause

some major problems with me. My body just loves that

stuff!

Have fun in Tulsa! Love, Sharon
