Hi Jane If you have problems with the keyboard how about getting Dragonspeak software. That way you just speak to the computer and it types it for you. I teach dyslexis pupils and several of them use it - as does our headmaster and the director of studies, so it must be good! Good luck with the enbrel Sue

Hello Jane
I haven't forgot about you joining the Enbrel Gang. I have been on holiday and the life and things have got in the way since I got back.
See that you have started taking the Magic Potion, not working it's magic straight away but I am sure that it is building up it's stamina and will suddenly kick into life, it is like you said....early days yet. The nurse did tell me it normally takes around 6 weeks, so you are half way there. I was just incredibly lucky with mine.
Lots of love

Hi Paula I hope you had a lovely holiday? Enbrel day tomorrow! My ring finger swelling has gone down the past few days  so it's working in little ways! I'm happy to wait besides, the sunshine is good for vitamin D to all of us! Jane Xxx

FANTASTIC NEWS JANE, I am so pleased for you. CRP of 3 WOW that is so amazing, your R.A disease is now in remission. That really hasn't taken too long either, hope it continues for you. I have just started cimzia and hoping it zaps my spiralling crp level. All the best Rebecca

I saw the rheumatologist last week, on paper the numbers are looking good BUT lots of swollen joints like hands/fingers/wrists/knees. I asked about decreasing methotrexate but my body isn't where we all like it to be at the moment, so I've got to step up sulfzal azide to x3 in the mornings then 3 soon at evenings. I'm feeling it, but I'm still going to the gym!! Lol life's to short to think about things - do it I say!
