    Are there any other treatments for lupus?
    I have Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I take Methotrexate pills and Enbrel injections. I also take Darvocet for pain but not always because I take an exercise class and the exercise on a regular basis helps a lot. Sometimes I have bad episodes of pain and stiffness and have to go to the doctor's office for pain injections. Are there any alternative treatments for the Enbrel. I am now on Medicare with a supplement and cannot afford the Enbrel.
