Hi Betty,

I heard back from the clinical trial nurse this afternoon. I go to the clinic at noon tomorrow for one last pre-drug therapy blood draw and then I will get several pre-loaded syringes.

I started to flare a few days ago, and the thought of getting the Enbrel is the only thing that keeps me from limping off into the night screaming and pulling my hair out (before it all falls out...lol).

Has anyone heard how the Enbrel works on uveitis/iritis flares. As if all of the pain in my low back, shoulder, both wrists, both knees, and both feet were not enough, my right eye started to act up about a week ago and has gotten progressively worse everyday. I have an appointment to see the ophthalmologist tomorrow afternoon.

I know I am hoping a lot for this drug...but wouldn't it be nice if it cleared up all of it?

I will keep you posted.

Angela
