Hi, has anyone tried the Raptiva injection or Enbrel injection for Psoriasis?
If so how did they find it?Did you have any nasty side-effects?I'm really sick of it, tried loads of treatments……
I take the Raptiva injection every week.There are side effects, but I've been on it for six weeks and have had WONDERFUL success.I had large thick lesions of psoriasis.Every one of them is drastically improving.I no longer scale (yuuuckk)Raptiva has to be prescibed by a physician.The dosage goes by your body weight.I am actually part of a study, so I get money sent to me every six months for participating, which has actually helped offset the cost.I had tried every thing, creams, light treatments, I even let this crazy 2#$ women “buff” one of the larger scaled areas.(FYI this is NEVER a good option !)
If you are seriously thinking about it know that before you can take it you have to have labs (blood work) drawn.They have to do a platelet count and a CBC.
The biggest drawback of this medicine for me was that it decreases your immune system, so I caught every bug for the first couple of weeks, but now I take vitamins and take better care of myself.EMail me at kschoner@yahoo.com if you have any questions !
Good luck !
Karen
