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…

Any information on using Humira?
Humira worked great for me, but after a year it stopped working. If you do decide to start Humira, ask your doctor for the pre-filled syringes and not the auto-inject pens. Humira does sting going in…

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.. :)
I don't have time for illiterate psoriatic people, time is too short to continually explain to people what there illiterate of, you may explain to the parent if you feel it's needed, but we live in a very well educated world, the parents should hand…
lol i agree with the kids part....its funny actually. You literally start fighting with yourself, in my case my masculinity. Your state of war is "Shall i wear a half-sleeve t-shirt while the snow flakes are visible". At some point u just stop bothe…
You are looking at a life long challenge when you try to educate the general public concerning this condition, and I quite frankly would be bored still in trying to do so, I just its psoriasis and look it up, we live in an educated society, let them…
I got tire of P the first day I went school at 6 yrs old when I was labeled the alligator boy.
I know I am reading these late, but just joined, I told a lady once I had aids, She just about jumped outa her skin...Most think it's a skin burn, like road rash, I tell them I wrecked my motorcycle....I guess I should really educate them, but you g…
I hope the Stelara works for you. I am having the same problem and am reaching the 90% point so I know exactly how you feel. I don't think that most people realize just how much the P can hurt.
Humira worked great for me, but after a year it stopped working. If you do decide to start Humira, ask your doctor for the pre-filled syringes and not the auto-inject pens. Humira does sting going in and I found out that when you use the pre-filled…
Hello all. I have been on Enbrel for three months and have not seen any clearing at all. In fact I have gotten worse and have much more spots. Has anyone used Enbrel and not seen any improvement for a while? My derm is talking about adding something…
I know what you mean. When i was first diagnosed with P i had like red dots all over my arms and my boyfriend's sister (in her 20's mind you) freaks out and ask if i had like bed bugs or something. OOO and then i went to a softball game and bcuz of…
