I'm glad to hear you are feeling better with the Embrel. I hope it continues!

I am happy you are seeing results w/ the Embrel, even after 2 injections. Yeah! what a great sign. When my meds kick in, and I get energy, pain relief, etc, I often don't sleep as well or much at night....of course I have sleep issues too :( But you might need less sleep than before. Pain can take a lot out of you.
Hug
Really hoping the Enbrel works for you. Genentech is working on another drug and I'll try to get some details and post on the RA discussion - it's not available yet but in the pipeline.

Jess- amazingly, I'm still in remission. I went into remission after my surgery and almost dying and it's been about five months now! I do hope MTX kicks in for you - I know so many people it has helped!
