Trying to convince myself to go ahead and inject my enbrel - not because that is a new/different/scary event - but because doc has been helping me fiddle with my drug mix. Been taking enbrel for several months - no side effects and huge improvements on all fronts except my eye.

Adding methotrexate weekly has FINALLY brought my chronic iritis under control, but taking it orally has meant that the one day a week I take it is shot. One day a week of feeling flu-like, hit by a truck, hips, shoulders, and knees throbbing, cranky, brain addled crap. To the point of not being sure that saving sight in one eye is worth the cost.

Old regimen was oral methotrexate early Wednesday morning, enbrel injection late Wednesday morning. By noon it's hit the fan. By Thursday morning I'm back to normal.

New plan is injectable methotraxate Tuesdays, injectable enbrel Wednesdays. Got the methotraxate yesterday, and didn't get the side effects. Now I've got to inject the enbrel knowing that it might kick my arse an hour or two down the road. Sigh.

Other than that, loverly marine layer outside looks like it is going to keep this another beautifully cool and reasonably damp coastal SoCal day.
