Thanks to my clearing using Enbrel and Methotrexate, I am now able to have massages and manicures and pedicures, all things I never got to do before. Also, I'm spending a small fortune on cute new clothes to celebrate. No one else can…

I gave myself Embrel shots for a while until they stopped working and I didn't have any problems. Enbrel worked for awhile but my body gets so use to everything so fast that nothing works. Good Luck but I don't think they hurt that bad.

NO!!!! Not at all. I agree that the syringes are less painful and room temp really helps. I am on the humira pen right now and did the Enbrel syringe in the past and the syringe was less painful, however more complicated. The pen is really easy and…

My 27 years with Psoriasis

Posted on September 10, 2009 at 4:19pm 3 Comments

Hey everyone, I'm a 33 year old female, living in New York City. I have had Psoriasis for 27 years. Two years ago out of desperation I went to see an acupuncturist who put me on a strict diet to combat my skin problems. The diet looked like this; No wheat, cows milk dairy (goat's milk is okay) , sugar, alcohol, caffeine. I ate lots of fresh vegetables, fruit, and rice. I took bitter Chinese herbs to combat the "blood heat" (this is a concept from Traditional Chinese Medicine) and went to… Continue

I read you're blog and found the diet you used interesting, but boring LOL. However, if you could forward the acupuncturist, name, number & address, I would like to check it out. I am right across the river in NJ, by Giant's Stadium. I have tried just about everything over the past 30+ years, but not this. I am on multiple meds, so I would like to get this persons take on my situation, before trying anything.

Medication is called Altabax and it works! Just don't use it a lot.
