Hey summergirl. That's ok. I am taking the risk as the drug works so well for me. If something goes sideways I will deal with it then!

I've been taking Enbrel & Methotrexate for 22yr now. It has kept my skin clear & the only way I'm able to function with my joints. I recently relocated to a much warmer climate for the first time. I'm still adjusting, have had some flares, & increased joint pain. This is very unusual, & I'm attributing it to the stress & family issues.

The pharmacist tells me chances are 1 in 1000 when taking enbrel or humira or other tnf inhibitors of getting ms. From what I read with some people that develop ms it goes away when drug is stopped but sometimes doesn't. Some doctors and studies I've read say people with first degree relatives with ms shouldn't take the tnf a's but all the doctors and pharmacists I've talked to say the benefits outweigh the small risk. Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Thanks for your reply.

WOW _- did not realize there was a correlation between PsA and MS! I have been on Enbrel for about 3 years and I feel good.

My mom has MS and RA, I have PsA and I have been on Methotrexate for over 14 years and Enbrel for 1 year . The Enbrel has cleared up the psoriasis with barely any side effects. Fatigue more often
