Does anyone have Diabetes Type 2 and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)?

I have liver problems from taking Methotrexate and so am being changed to an anti TNF med for the RA, does this react with Byetta?

Does anyone take Byetta with Enbrel (etanercept)? Having looked up the side effects of both drugs I am very worried about them, it would be good to know if anyone has any experience of this. I also take Metformin.
 
I too suffer from both Diabetes and RA.

Methotrexate is a hideous drug. I took it for a short time but had such severe side effects that I stopped taking it. It's (occasional) beneficial effects on RA were an accidental discovery. It's main uses are for chemotherapy and the attempted non-surgical removal of ectopic pregnancy.

I have luckily now found an RA treatment which suits me.
Good luck in your treatment penpops!
