Well, I took Hannah last Friday to her rheumy because the inflammation in the right knee will not go away. She has been on Naprosyn twice/day since July, Orapred on and off since July and Methotrexate since August. It is so frustrating that after 3 months, things still aren't under control. She is developing joint deformity, so she was put on Enbrel. I actually got it preapproved on Monday and the pharmacy got it on Wednesday. I was so relieved after the Enbrel frustrations. I also have Advance PCS, so maybe that is the difference. We will start the injections on Saturday and hopefully start getting off of the Orapred. She will have to stay on everything for about 2 weeks and then we will try to take things away. Just thought I would share. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Dee-Dee
