I just wanted to post and say that I am not skipping out again. I am in a
really doozy of a flare and my 15 year old has hurt his knee and we have
been dealing with that. I will try to catch up in the next day or so after I
get some much needed rest. From what I have read so far ...

My wife has suffered with rheumatoid arthritis for about 10 years and
gone through many treatments prescribed by her consulting
rheumatologist. She has been taking Methotrexate once a week for the
past 8years, and is highly concerned about the high toxicity.

Rheumy is out of town this week.

I'm wondering if maybe I need a transfusion. I expected the tired...that
goes with anemia. What I didn't expect is the brain fog, the slow-mo

I have been taking enbrel for over a year now, and have come down with a
whopper of a sinus infection or the flu that is going around, is this
something many have gotten on enbrel? The headache is about enough to put
you over the edge!

I had a Total Knee Replacement of my right knee operation on 21st
August and wonder if anyone can help me with a couple of points.
Firstly, although the op was successful and, although I am walking well
with crutches (and for a few steps with no aid at all), when sitting  I
