Glad you are improving, I have had a set back last 2 days, but found this is common by reading old threads, made feel better but then again not. I am new to this. Been on enbrel 3 weeks, felt much better, then out of nowhere wrists swelled and hurt. I hope you keep feeling relief :)

Hello TK,

I'm happy to hear that you are headed in the right direction!

I'm also glad there haven't been any set-backs.

Take care of yourself,
