I am willing to get married , but scared of the future with ra.. am taking mtx and enbrel (etanercept) once a week .. plz advise . thank you?

See details: If your disease is well controlled on these meds, your future is bright. The fact that you have RA should therefore not play a major role in your life. You are on very effective meds with relatively low risk. Have a great life.
