| My niece used Enbrel for JRA and I cried when she called me to tell me that she could bend down and see her knee caps! And we cried when we bought her first pair of flip flops and cute sandals! Tears of joy of course... the Enbrel gave her the oppurtunity to be a normal lil girl! Now my little cousin has psoriasis realllllllly bad. ok well he is not so little, a jr in HS now but when he was younger it was HORRIBLE. The poor child was just miserable and they used the Enbrel with him, didnt clear it all up but still a HUGE improvement. He didnt have any negatative side effects from it. Not sure why they stopped using it but they did ($$ if I had to guess) but its back, not quite as bad.

| This testimonial was posted on pioneer thinking website -- thought it might be a solution for you. I have never needed or tried this just happend to see it and thought I would pass it on. Psoriasis - Bleach Bath by Nicole I wanted to share a way of treating Psoriasis. My husband has had it for at least 20 years, longer than we have been married, so I have never seen him without it. He has it on his legs (from the knees to the ankles), scalp, lower back, chest and arms. We have tried a ton of stuff, like vinegar soaked wash clothes wrapped around his legs, creams and powders. He has even tried drinking Kafir to clean out his body. Finally, we heard about a Bleach Bath. Yes, that is right...a bleach bath with regular Clorox (has to be Clorox) no perfumes, extra thick etc. Just regular bleach. What he is doing is taking 1/4 cup bleach and adding it to his bath water. Once done in the bath, he rinses off with clean water. He does this every other day. IT IS AMAZING!!!! He has been doing this for less than 2 weeks and it is 95% gone!!! If you are wondering about a smell lingering on you, forget it...he doesn't smell. Try it!!! |

| Maybe I can help I sold Remicade, which is a biologic, in addition to Humira....which I worked on the clinical side.....so I know quite a bit about the biologics for psoriasis, and RA. Plus, my Mom is on Remicade and has been for 2 years......she had psoriasis, and due to a spider bite,believe it or not....developed into RA.....yes....having a trauma, may push a psoriasis person on into RA....if they are headed for RA eventually..... IM me and I can answer questions for you regarding the biologics. Shirley |
