Re: Re: METHO. how long before it works?

[Guest guest]

Hi, My name is and I have been on metho. for about ten or so years like

Tawny said you will see a difference it's just takes a while to get into your

system but I was wondering if Enbrel was an option for you cause I am also on it

and it does not have the long term side effects that metho. and prednisone have

although I'm still on all three I have eazed my way down to only 1mg. of

prednisone and only 3mg. of metho. and soon it will only be Enbrel which has

changed my life to the point where I walked with a cane for short distances and

needed a wheelchair for long distances now I don't need either one I went from

being a stay at home mom who could barely make it throw the day with out

assistance to a city bus driver of a 45 foot bus I share my story with you in

hope that you to can find some relief. have faith and you to will be sharing

your story someday. Your Friend Forty

It also took me about 6 weeks to tell a difference. I hope you start

seeing some relief soon. Tawny

have not experienced much relief. Is this usual to take this long

before one starts feeling any benefit from the drug?

Thanks for sharing your story. It's great to hear Enbrel has changed

your life so much.

It gives many people hope that they will find the right meds to give

them relief. Enbrel has also been good to me.
