Then you and rheumatologist can decide if it’s helping enough and stopping more joint degeneration which I feel is the most important part, although I will gladly take any decrease in Pain possible

I’m guessing your Doctor would probably go to Humira next.. it also has a patient assist program. It is more expensive than Enbrel , crazy what these shots cost.

Flares of Fibro and PsA are sadly going to happen I got slapped silly last week when that front that blew through. Fibro and PsA are both filthy words !!!
Thanks, ~Christina! I am very sorry you also experience this type and degree of discomfort. I hope a cure is found asap. Much Love
