"Diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis (PA) at 24yrs.old...tried every drug under the sun! Nothing worked for longer than a few months...exhausted all roads till rhuemy put me on Prednisone for a year at 10mg. Daily! In one year was out of my wheelchair and went back to work! I admit it worked great for arthritis, and not so well for psoriasis. So methotrexate was added to clear my skin. Within 8 months it was the clearest I'd been ever. Well, stayed on that combo for next 20 years! But methotrexate started giving my liver problems...needed biopsies 4 times a year, and became too much! Today, at 68 am still on prednisone, yes just over 40 years now. It was my miracle drug then. Not so much now, but without it, l can't even move at all! Tried other drugs, Talz, NEVER again...then Remicade which in 1 year did zip not one plaque cleared! Fear the side affects l am reading and too many indicate being over 50, and I'm over 60 can likely mean you are more than likely to have some! God bless you all!!"

"This drug can destroy your life! Was given this for psoriatic arthritis by a so called specialist and the side effects ten years later are Cushings Syndrome and 2 life threatening infections. In the last 5 years I have had 3 hip surgeries( 1 side twice ) an ankle fusion, other ankle still needs to be done, half a lung removed and still have many medical issues that effect my quality of life. Please check to see if this drug is worth it for your condition because I am 46 and my daily life is horrible because of Prednisone!"
