Putting weight on with Enbrel

[evie]

hi grizzly bear, it must be me eating too much food and not enough exercise, which I am trying very hard to cut down my portions and do short bursts of walking, but you know psoriasis can get you down at times and one can turn to food for comfort, but I am really trying hard as my psoriasis is clear. thank you.

Hi Paul,  do you take the 50m of Enbrel which you inject, because that is not a pain killer but a bio.

Hi, yes I do. Sorry, I obviously didn't make myself clear. Apart from the Enbrel, I am also on steroids for the pain, as are many who have PsA. It is the steroids that not only encourage weight gain, but also makes you feel hungry.

I understand now paul, oh dear I would not want to go on steroids then. thank you
