Enbrel has had no effect so far....

Started this discussion. Last reply by Bob Van Houten Feb 19, 2010. 4 Replies

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…Continue

Do you ever get tired of....

Started this discussion. Last reply by Marie Fisher Nov 29, 2010. 22 Replies

I am so tired of people who just have to comment when they notice what is going on with my skin. Maybe I'm just grouchy lately because of the P, but I am so tired of people saying, "Oh, looks like…Continue

Weight loss and psoriasis

Started this discussion. Last reply by Carrie Nov 2, 2009. 7 Replies

I have read more than once that researchers think there may be a link between obesity and psoriasis and that losing weight would improve the psoriasis.I'm a "fluffy" gal myself and I know that there…Continue

Using auto pens versus pre-filled syringes for Humera/Enbrel

Started this discussion. Last reply by Arlene Vickrey Oct 11, 2009. 9 Replies

My doctor has recently convinced me to switch to pre-filled syringes for Enbrel rather than using the auto-injector pens. She says it is less painful if you do it yourself with the pre-filled…Continue

Arlene Vickrey replied to angie freda's discussion 'Humira'
I used Humira for about a year to a year and a half.  It worked great and cleared me 100%, but then the P came back. I am now on Stelara.  I have been on it for a year and a half now.  I am a little bit concerned because I have a few…

I can certainly agree with you. I hatethe "dreaded stare" when someone notices a place on my scalp. You always know the next question will be "Whats that on your scalp". I always want to say something rude, crudly and totally not…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Arlene Vickrey replied to andre j benard's discussion 'Embrel'
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…

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…

Arlene Vickrey replied to Sarah's discussion '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 needle is so sharp. The thing is that with the…
