My doctor was not to helpful and did not point any of the side effects out.
I guess you have to decide how much risk you are willing to take to give you a better quality of life.

Thanks Jeffery, I appreciate the info, my fear is, If I was to start taking enbrel, and it cleared up, would it come back 100 times as worse. Thats what happened with methotrexate drug I wasJeffrey B wrote:I just started Enbrel on May 11, 2006, I have done only 4 injections since that date and have seen considerable improvement.

taking. I started out around 40percent covered in psoriasis, took the
shot for several months, which made me feel like I had the flu, for a few
days, my p never cleared up but when I quit taking it, my body went to
95 percent coverage and dis-abled me for 7 months. Not to say the dermatologist hit a nerve in my hip, and paralized my left leg from the
knee down, I went to another medical doctor, after his examination, he
told me it was from the shot in the hip, but he would not testify in court.
So I confronted the dermatologist who herd us through like cattle, about
it and he laughed in my face. I wouldnt wish psoriasis on my worst enemy, but wish I could find a dermatologist that had some compassion.
By the way I regained control of my leg 5 weeks later, glad it was temporary, and I quit taking all drugs, and my psoriasis went away for 1yr
then unfortunately it came back.

I decided to use Enbrel when it started being manufactured in the US. I was made fully aware of the side effects by my Dr. and only get injection site reactions. I have been using it for about 2.5 years now. I use it in conjunction with methotrexate and still have not cleared but it helps the arthritis so much I only rarely get sore and have become a lot more active. But the psoriasis itself is only a little better, improving most on the face and scalp.
never made a complaint, norBigDaddy wrote:jcave wrote:Thanks Jeffery, I appreciate the info, my fear is, If I was to start taking enbrel, and it cleared up, would it come back 100 times as worse. Thats what happened with methotrexate drug I was

hi jc - oh my gosh! the nerve of some "doctors" how do they get away with treating people this poorly and then laughing about it? have you made some type of official complaint about this person, he obviously doesn't care about his patients so he shouldn't be practicing. espically since you went to him for help.
