Hi Kelly, I am so pleased for you and thank you for sharing this good news. It is good to hear positive stories. I have r/a and suffering quite a bit at the moment, i had been on enbrel for 3 months but just stopped it as it wasn't helping. I am waiting now to see what my next course of treatment will be. take care and stay pain free xx

Glad to know you're feeling well on it! I'm on it too and think it's brilliant! Only drawback for me is that over this winter I have caught quite a few colds and have had to be on and off my methotrexate so I do get a little creaky now and then. Roll on the summer!
