It was interesting to read in the news today that Phil Mickelson is making news for his arthritis condition, and that he is on Enbrel, a TNF blocker like Humira and Remicade.

(Mickelson is the #2 golfer in the world, competing in the PGA Championship this week).

I thought it might make some people less afraid of them ~ if they really need a biologic
