Psoriatic Arthritis
"I fell down quickly when the arthritis part of the psoriasis hit me at 50.  I had always had bad nails and I developed psoriasis while taking Alpha Interpheron at 40.  At first I took methotrexate 25mg/week by mouth.  That was a disaster.  I went to sub Q and that worked very well, however, after a year, I began to get sick with the flu or such.  It lasted 60 days and I had to get off the methotrexate and nearly wound up in the ICU. From a cold or flu! Got better, then 45 days later, got sick again.  Thanks to the ACA, I have insurance and am able to take Humira.  It works pretty well on the psoriasis and also works pretty well on the arthritis.  But, after several months, my feet are getting sore and my right wrist is weakening."
