Dear lass - wish I could do summat to help. But, seeing that the Enbrel aint doing owt for you, can you stop taking the Enbrel?
OK. So taking that Pred for the shingles - are there any alternatives that could be brought into play and you **slowly come off the Pred?
Gapapentin? Ha. Had a rheumy once who suggested that. Checked it out, discussed with my GP and, 'we' decided 'no way'! No matter what, dislike to feeling drunk (and would hate to 'be' drunk!) 'LOL'.
Hope you can sort out soonest.
