I thought it might be a allergy to latex the derm thought it was psoriasis and started me on Enbrel 50mg 2 times a week 12 hours after the 2nd dose i suddenly noticed my rt arm elbow down was numb then slowly it progressed over 20 min to my whole rt side of my body. MRI/MRA are clear. I have not changed any in 8 weeks no more Enbrel. Now my rt arm is contracting in. Please any help would be appreciated.
I am suffering from Psoriasis for the last 30 years . What treatment should I take to manage.
Hi, I have severe Psoriasis on palms and bottoms of my feet. I have tried everything from cream to ointment, ulta violet and Grenns rays and nothing really worked. My doctor wants to put me on Enbrel but i am nervious about it. All the reading i do about it suggests that the cure is worse then the disease and it seems that the risk of getting cancer, lupus or the like is extreamly high (higher then the other injectables).
I have swelling and edema in right hand fingers and knees, I have some joint pain and some hives at times.No psoriasis on me. I am in my late twenties my doctor wants me to take embrel. I do not have typical back symptoms of this type of arthritis. I need a diagnosis, What could this be? I tend to get stressed and that causessome symptoms to be stronger.
Although none of these treatments will cure psoriasis, they may relieve the symptoms and itchiness and help prevent further outbreaks from occurring. All natural treatments should be discussed with your doctor, as it may affect any psoriasis treatment he or she prescribes.
Oatmeal, Epsom salts and Dead Sea salts can help remove the scales and also help in soothing itchiness. Aloe Vera is often used to soothe and moisturize skin.
I was SVR for 3 years now , HCV RNA - und , sensitivity 12 IU/ml
Have a real pain from PsA and have to start treatment with ENBREL which is biological drug and it suppose to lower my immune system .My rheumy told me that there is tinny possibility of relapsing after taking it..
All this time I thought that once you get rid of virus that is it . How comes it can relapse after 3 years ??? Goggling thru the net couldn't find anything than can give any proof for his theory.
ve been on Enbrel for about 5 years and it has been an extremely good medication for both the psoriasis and the psoriatic arthritis. My concern is what am I going to do now that my husband is retired and my health insurance won't cover the cost. I live in Canada and the cost of this medication is approximately $22,000.00 a year which my husband's company insurance covered but now that he is retired, it will not cover the cost for my lifetime.
I am on Embrel treatment for my psoriasis and I got test foe STD's and everything came out negative, but the herpes came: IGG I : 0.28which is negative but the IGG II : 3.62, but I just remember that a day before the test I had an embrel. Can the Embrel affect the result of the test?
Never had the cough or metal taste during the time I used Reumofan. I am not back on Enbrel, and not happy about it. I take say 15mg, 1x weekly...or something like that. Just enough to take the edge off. Reumotolgist approved this dosage.
About a month off Reumofan, Dr wanted to check my blood just to see if there were any steroid use indicated. I gained 15# and I never gain weight. Blood tests came back negative for anything.
For the past six years I have been batteling with fungal infections (feet, ears, groin) and just recently I have been diagnosed with an infection on my penis and my hands after having had to take some antibiotics. This whole mess started when I was on Enbrel (I stopped taking that) to treat my psoriasis. I know that I don't have HIV since I already got tested for that (fairly recent too).
I've been on Enbrel for almost 9 years. I've recently been developing tremors in my hands, cheeks (when I smile), and tongue. Talked to my rheumy. He doesn't think it's the Enbrel, but I am growing more concerned. They're not bad, but they do seem to be progressing.
Thanks smittygirl. I was on the fence with this decision but leaning in the same direction as your perspective. Sunday, today, is my injection day. I've had the p.i. for a week, and it seems to be clearing up despite the Enbrel. So like you, I agree; I'd rather itch a little, then have the chest-wall pain (my main symtom). BTW... good luck with AS. Prior to joining this forum, I read some of the past posts, and yours came forward as a real success story.
These autoantibodies attack the body’s own cells, causing signs and symptoms such as tissue and organ inflammation, joint and muscle pain, and fatigue. The presence of ANA is a marker of an autoimmune process and is associated with several autoimmune disorders but is most commonly seen in the autoimmune disorder systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).ANA shows up on indirect immunofluorescence as fluorescent patterns in cells that are fixed to a slide that is evaluated under a microscope.
I have had two shots of Humira, I constantly have sinus issues, pain pressure, teeth hurt and hedaches. I got them on enbrel and after 9 years it quit working, so tired remicade but after 4 infusions I had such a bad insus probelm I quit it also raised my blood pressrue a lot. I don't seem to be able to handle hard core antibidoics so I can take zpack, and it helps, but I always seem to be back on it alteast every two months.
