My doctor wants to switch me from Enbrel to Humira. I am already taking Methotrexate and Prednisone as well. Can anyone tell me their experiences, side effects, thoughts, etc.? Thanks, Deana

My SED rate is in the 120s so we are thinking the Enbrel isn't working and the Prednisone bursts and maintenance dosage don't seem to be controlling things.  Also, I am borderline anemic again and heading down.
