member feedback really freaks me out. it seems that dealing with my skin is safer than the side effects of humira. what about methotrexate, are the side effects less severe than humira?
Very fearful of taking humira, I have pustular psorasis on my hands and feet, is it worth the risk?

thanks mary, maybe pustular is not accurate, but it feels that way. seems my orginal dermatologist called it by that name. he retired, and i miss him very much, hell of a good doc. im gonna try methotrexate first, from what i understand its the lesser of two evils
Yes, Enbrel effects your immune systems, & is very costly at $1,200 a shot which is weekly. So I do agree to try somethig else first unless you have terrific insurance...

I'm trying to avoid oral medications like Humira, but may be put on some kind of high dose vitamin E orally if my current regimen of Vanos and Calcitrane doesn't clear up my feet soon. Vanos and Calcitrane work well on outbreaks on my hands, but the feet are not responding well even after nearly two months.

thanks Von-1, i have made my decision to go with methotrexate. it just feels right. i cant control my stress right now anyhow, what the hell do i have to lose except my hair.
My husband was put on it about 10yrs ago and had done fine. He already had started getting a bald spot at his crown and it may be alittle more but I do not believe its from the methatrexate. His brother is also on it . they go to the same RA in Huntsville, alabama. Good luck and keep me updated. Von
