The first one helped m yjoints immedealty and lasted for about 9 days, but the side effect to my bladder was terrible, so next infsuions they lowered it to 300 and gave me some sol-medrol no bladder but terribe joint pain, more than whe I was on enbrel, in fact i didn't have too much on enbrel just feed pain and the mri showed active disease.
