Enbrel and nail psoriasis

January 30, 2013 — 11:40pm

I have had psoriatic arthritis for 20+ years and have been forced to retire from orthopedic surgery because of the disease. I have the form that attacks the small joints of the hands and feet more than other joints.

I began Enbrel 4 months ago with really good results. The important thing here is that I had horrible nail involvement…which has cleared completely.

Editors Note: Enbrel is only available by prescription from a doctor.

  • I also have psoriatic arthritis in my fingers and my feet. My question is did you try any other meds before using Enbrel?

  • Enbrel is amazing for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis…I was clear of psoriasis and from arthritis pain for 10 years while on Enbrel…but then I was diagnosed with MS.
    One Doctor says it was the Enbrel…the other says could be..but not sure! Be careful and read all the warnings!
