Hi both, thanks for your replies. I too have failed on everything else: nsaids, painkillers and dmards.
But my rhumie nurse is very concerned about potential 'nasties' that could go along with anti tnf - just doing his job by pointing them out to me, i suppose. However, I imagine you also have to weigh these potential effects up against your quality of daily life. I have only been married since April, and I havent been able to do much including work since December last year. I would really like my life back, you know what I mean?
I did want opinions from people like you who are already on these drugs, thanks again for your comments!
