Hey Linc!
I can totally relate! I've had the same toe and foot problems since I was 18 years old. And my knees. I am affected in just about every joint! I definitely have peripheral AS. Or whatever the proper term is. I am currently on Cimzia which really keeps things in check. It sounds like Enbrel has been doing the same for you. Linc, the one thing that I have noticed over 30 years of this is as I am getting older, I notice more joints are being affected. Perhaps your time off Enbrel is showing that to you too. And I get more pain and muscle spasms in upper parts of my back because I am not as active as I was. I hope to change that very soon! One thought, can you take any NSAIDS while off of Enbrel in the future? I don't know if that will even help so it's just a thought. Oh, and my toe seemed just like gout but it's not. I hope it all clears up soon and you get the Enbrel back on board soon! Linc, YOU ROCK! Love and hugs, Cristina
