Nervous, Starting Enbrel.
I have found that using the prefilled syringes instead of the sureclick pen is much less painful. Sure, you have to learn to actually stick the needle in, but it really doesn't hurt because the needl…

Enbrel has had no effect so far....
Sarah, I would love to hear what your experience with Methotrexate has been. Funny, you are starting Enbrel to supplement the Methotrexate, but I am starting the Methotrexate to supplement the Enbrel…

I'm so sorry, Angie -- I can't imagine what it would've been like to have had it in high school. No, strike that -- I can imagine it and it would suck beyond measure.
The thing that's hard it that the stupid kids that say things at school are doing…
that is actually quite funny. what i do i just save myself the questioning
im a 17 year old in high school idk when this started because i always remember having it. its really hard to go through the school day and have people see it and make fun of me. sometimes i go to the bathroom and cry because its so embarasing and n…
When kids ask, I usually tell them I wiped out on my skateboard (good for a few dropped jaws as I am a 43-y.o. mom).
When adults ask, I tell them it's not contagious, that it's psoriasis and that it's genetic. That usually shuts them down.
You are not annoying- I think many of us feel this way. I've had P for 12 years now and still struggle with it every day. I have it on my arms, hands, legs and feet and have to try and wear long sleeves and long pants, which sucks during the summer…
I am really frustrated with my psoriasis. It's all over my body and it doesn't go away. I just feel like crying. I don't know what will help it. I have it all over my legs and with it being summer, I don't even try to attempt shorts or skirts. I don…
Enbrel hasn't worked for me yet either, so the doc added Methotrexate to it about a month ago. I'm still waiting to see if there is any improvement. Also, my derm told me that probably the Enbrel isn't working so well because it is a "weight based"…
Do you ever get tired, let me think, the first time I think,, I'm tired of this shit, would was when I was ten, the second time I was 14, now I didn't say much here, a sweet little gal turn me down for a dance, the third time I was 17 they wouldn't…
Hi am new to this - I have had the P for 5-6 years now - nothing major - only knees and an elbow small spots injected with cortisone. I just had a bout of strep and I erupted with guttate all over - what a nightmare... spots everywhere and I am not…
I would stay away from methotrexate, my opinion. My results did not out weigh the liver risks and side effects. I have added cyclosporine, from time to time, and had positive results. Also, light treatments work well for me. Using a tanning bronzer…
Hi Arlene,
The Metho was scary at first and then got to be not a big deal pretty quickly. I was really tired at first then my body adjusted some and they switched me to a dose 6 days a week and so i was less tired, the doses being smaller but more f…
I have found that using the prefilled syringes instead of the sureclick pen is much less painful. Sure, you have to learn to actually stick the needle in, but it really doesn't hurt because the needle is so sharp. The thing is that with the sureclic…

I hear that some people experience nausea, dizz…
Hi Arlene, Hows the Enbrel going? I start this week. Hope it's working for you. Im on Methotrexate, we are doing the Enbrel to supplement it. The Methotrexate works pretty good actually.. :)
