I am on a low dose of prednisone (5mg) per day along with Arava. I'm also on Ebrel (just finished 2nd week). While I was just on the Pred and Arava, I still had a lot of pain and I thought there was no relief in sight, until Enbrel. I feel SO much better, it's like night and day. I can do everyday things without pain (there were days I used to have trouble dressing myself or brushing my daughter's hair). I may eventually be weaned off the other meds because I don't like taking the steroid for so long. I was overweight to start with so added weight from the prednisone sure ain't fun!

Good luck to all!
