Even my hand doctors who were splinting me, my radiologists who were giving me knee braces with a script, even my my own father, a Doctor (!) and mother (a nurse!) could not understand why I was so crippled. Amazing. One day I had a cyst aspirated from my wrist and the fluid drawn looked peculiar to this Dr. He wrote me a script to see a Rheumatologist Four days later on Enbrel, I was fine! This is the scary thing: there has been some joint deformation in my feet - not so bad - but now any secondary condition gets complicated. Then I had shingles and had to stop Enbrel. Then this and that, and now I have to have surgery on my foot for a neuroma Fun. No one seems to be joining this topic, and I wonder why. I think it could be a really great help to all of us. What do you say, readers? Tired of “well, why don’t you just take a tylenol?” Elizaroid Comments
