Glad the enbrel is helping once again.
My spondy hit both my peripheral joints (wrists and feet) along with the spine (SI joint and neck) always and its definitely spondy...definitely enthesitis.
At one point, my feet were so bad that I had to ice them at the end of my workday just to hobble out to my car to go home. Foot pain can be quite bad. Contrast baths were probably the most helpful back then. Humira is the most helpful now.
I too can tell when I need my Humira. I too will put it off if I think I'm getting sick. 2 weeks ago, the day before I took my Humira, my ulnar wrists were scary bad...then the day after Humira, it was like it never happened. It works fast for me.
My chiro can also tell when I've just gotten my shot and when I'm due.
