I have RA for about 4 years but the X ray after those years came out normal, so the is no damage on my joints.”so far”, I went to the Doctor cause I was having pain on my whole body, specialy in the mornings and night. I told the doctor I want to get my wife pregnag this year and I do not want to take methotraxate before I’m done with my baby .the doctor put me only on 10 mg of prenidsone and I FELL GREAT!!!! , so can I just be on prenidsone???? thanks!!!!

I am in Methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis and was going to add enbrel, but my tuberculin test is positive since many years ago, with negative X-ray. How many months of Isoniazid prophylaxis should I take, and after how much time can I start the enbrel. Can methotrexate be combined with isoniazid? thanks.

My husband has been on Enbrel weekly and was doing well. Last year, he had problems in one hip (which turned out to be a hip labral tear unrelated to RA which was subsequently debrided successfully with arthroscopic hip surgery). Before the rheumatologist knew the pain was not related to RA, he put him on 10mg methotrexate weekly in addition to the Enbrel. Should my husband try and get off the 1mg/daily of Folate & the methotrexate given the recent negative press about too much folate encouraging pre cancers to develop? I read that taking any of the biologics can be a risk for developing cancer. Thank you for your advice.
