Suggest Treatment For Chronic RA

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2008. I was put on Enbrel injections and Prednisolone 5 mgs daily. This was very successful in relieving my pain and my blood tests were pretty much normal for a few years. However my Rheumatoid Factor has risen to 107 recently and I have not been feeling well again. What do you think is happening?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the treatment you took is not curative one and so the pathological condition would remains as its which reflect in the test, of course the inflammatory process may stops by steroid and may induce the symptomatic relief, hope this information helps.
