Hi, Mandy,

I'm still on the Enbrel. I'll finish out the clinical trials, if at all possible. What's happening now may just be a flare. I had almost 11 months virtually flare-free. Nothing to sneeze at. I'll not be switching to any other drugs; finances won't allow it. After the study, I'm not sure what I'll do. I'm still weighing my options. The one thing I do want is pain control.

My hubby gives me my shots. I still don't have the nerve to do it myself. The one time I tried, it was dangerous. I started out by bending the needle and leaving a gash on my thigh. All that before I managed to get it right. It is true, I'm a big wimp.

Hugs,

Cindy

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.


Hugs,
