Enbrel=energy and ugly skin

Friday was injection #4 of Enbrel. Last week, and again this last injection, I've had skin reactions. Which, doc and fellow RA'ers are saying are "normal". I still feel good, energy is back and the only pain I've had lately was mild when it rained a couple days.

I'm dealing with the ring worm look alike reaction. Luckily, I inject my thigh, which rarely sees the light of day.

My plan is to have one full month of feeling good before I try any physical activity. I'm so scared of going back to where I was pain wise. When I think back to where I was 2 years ago, I get discouraged. I was nearly 40 pounds lighter, and in shape. I just hope I can get back there.
