I have taken methotrexate and stayed si k all the time .. was taken off that and put on enbrel and did great for around 4-5 yrs. due to 3 surgeries last year I was taken on and off enbrel and it seems it just can t get back to the relief iwzs getting before that. I also am hypothyroid taking 200 mg synthroid daily.... I stay tired, hurt so bad and feel like I can t function.
