Default What about a biologic

How about a biologic-like Enbrel or Humira or Remicade-an injectable or IV that doesn't go thru the stomach? Don't know if this is feasible for you-ask your doc. On the upside, before my GBP I lived on 4-6 Vicodin a day for arthritis pain, not being able to tolerate NSAIDS and having failed all the DMARDs. Now, down 100 lbs I am pain free and take NO meds at all for arthritis.
