I've been told that Enbrel is good for psoriasis. Has anyone tried it before? If so, I would appreciate some feedback on it. Did it lower your immune system, and what happened if it did. Did it help you, and how long did it take? Anything you can tell me that might help, would be appreciated.

I have used it and i had to come off it, as the side effects were too much for my other health problems.I will say that i am on Humira now and that also messes with the immune system.My white cells are really high and i have problems with dyhydonitis more now, which will require plastic surgery.Good luck.

I've been using Enbrel for about 3 years. I've never had any side effects. I did get to the point of dreading giving myself shots, but when I changed to the Epi-Pen, it really didn't bother me anymore.
I use it for rheumatoid arthritis. I have skipped my shot when I had a sinus infection. You shouldn't use it if you have any kind of infection. It is wonderful for RA, and I have heard for psoriasis, too. But I really don't know anyone who has used it for psoriasis.
