Good midweek morning!

What's the good word for today?

I finally made a decision I hope will work out well. My arthritis doc has been trying to get me to go on Enbrel, well I decided to do it. Arthritis can be debilitating.
Enbrel is supposed to take out the pain and inflammation.
I really hated to have to take this route but I feel I had no choice at this point. I have it mainly in the hands.

good word - Chiropractor

My friend & I have both had remarkable help with arthritis in hands & other joints. My carpal tunnel is all but gone, the elbow (golf/tennis) is gone & arthritic problems in all expectp knees gone. I destroyed my knees (weak spot for both sides in our family) with my years of dancing. My cousin Ortho surgeon recommended I NOT go on med regime.. he has same problem & avoids the meds..

You need to find one who has done the classes for it.

I have tried to stay off of all the meds & even glucosine.. I am on OTC anti-inflammatory.. Excedrin mostly & take a lot..

Gotta run.. lots to do today..

good luck.. and I can understand the need for relief.. It was so bad for me I cried in distress...

When pain hits in to the point of debilitating choices must be made.

Careful, and follow the dosage.

Sorry to hear you are among the pains in the...where ever here at ATRW. ;-)
