Hi Lynn welcome to our Group you will learn a lot here as different people have used different treatments.I myself was on Methotrexate but had to get off of it as it caused me to have a high liver count.So after that I was ordered Remicade which is administered by IV And it was every 6 weeks and helped me but the forth time I took it I broke out in hives and had some breathing issues.They had all kinds of Dr’s come up to check on me.I was taken off of it.Had to wait 6 weeks to start on Embrel 50 mg sure click which I administer to myself every Saturday.The Arthritis Dr told me when I am sick not to give myself the shot.I was so sick for three weeks and just started back on my shot.I have a few spots of psorosis but nothing like before.I started with the psorosis first thought it was dandruff then ended up with the Psoriatic Arthritis at age 55. I am now 67 and doing so much better than before.Sometimes you have to try different treatments till you get the one that helps the most. again to our group glad you found us! I also had facial flushing from the Remicade much worse than a hot flash!
