i am suffering from psoriatic arthritis and my rheumatologist wants to put me on one of these meds. the cancer and tuberculosis thing terrifies me. is it rare to develop one of these side effects???? im wondering if i should just try thr methotrexate… anyone have any ideas??

Please answer only if u have taken or known someone that has taken them…I am 23 and suffering from psoriatic arthritis. my rheumie wants to start me on these meds, but i am terrified of the side effects – cancer, tuberculosis. Does anyone know the actual statistics??? How many people have actually died from thes meds??? And r u more likely to catch something the longer u take them?? Im thinking if i should just stay away from them. Any advice would help!!!!!

I have psoriatic arthritis. The meds control the psoriasis but not the arthritis very well. I often wonder if taking these meds is worth future effects. Most of the time I feel fatigued and very sore. I also take 4 high blood pressure meds. I hate taking so many meds, and it’s very expensive. Is there anyone out there who has taken the methotrexate and enbrel injections for any length of time? I would like to know if you have experienced any adverse effects. I am not interested in switching to humira or remicade b/c my insurance does not cover them. I am also interested in any feedback from other psoriatic sufferers.

I was on Humira and during the 3 months I was on it I was so tired all the time I could barely function day to day. I also had a constant headache and felt like I had the flu for 3 months. I experience severe weakness in my arms and legs. I will probably get recomended for Enbrel and was wondering if anyone switched and what the results where. I have sever psoriatic arthritis and am in terrible pain. I have not taken anything for my arthritis for 2 months.

I have both types and am currently on Sulfasalazine, but considering Enbrel.

My young son is on Enbrel for arthritis. His uncle had psoriatic arthritis also and had been on Enbrel for 3 years, then had cancer 3 months ago. He died last week from it. His doctors thought Enbrel caused the cancer. We’re looking for doctors to give alternative treatment without Enbrel.
