Lisa, if you can get through this, you will hopefully get the Enbrel, and that is something to look forward to...it really helped me, but it is true they want you to be infection free before starting, as it works on your immune system...just cure what you have to cure now, and then go for it..I've had to stop the Enbrel and take antibiotics when I got a sinus infection...any bacteria and you must stop, cure it, and then go back on...

I hate lame docs, but just figure out how to cure yourself now, and then you can take the Enbrel and I'm sure you will have a big smile on your face within a month...I hope so...(and I don't work for the company)

Peace
