That is what the endocrin Dr. is saying to me now. I am FAT and that is why my bones hurt. I was not fat before, the meds made me fat! All the steroids and stuff. I was getting steroid injections in my hand and shoulder.( that had nothing to do with weight gain) Ha Ha. plus the E side effect is weight gain. I put on 60 pounds BLAH!!!!! Now I am in a constant flare and am dragging my right leg because my hip hurts so bad, This endocrin tells me to walk through the pain. I think he should tie a buick to his back and take a stroll. I asked the Rhumey the same question that if I have been on E for two years why now with the liver, he just said it may not have caused it but it may contribute to it.quote" If I loose weight the liver will settle down" unquote. Weight loss is the miracle cure!!!! But why did I gain weight in the first place? Ah there's the rub. Sorry for being so long winded today, I am in a frustrated mood today. I do have some good news not medical though. My little silkie terrier Myra had 3 little boys thrusday. All healthy and cute as buttons. I want you all to have the best luck with the Embrel. Rose
