Enbrel

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the board and I’m sorry this is so long in

coming but I just got your message today. I’ve never taken Enbrel

or had Steroid injections but I have been on Remicade that is similar to Enbrel

and during that time taken oral Prednisone which is a corticosteroid. I

have heard of others who have gotten Steroid injections while on biologics like

Enbrel. I hope by now the Enbrel is working well for you. God

bless.
