Hi Sandy nice to meet you 
I’m sorry to hear about your experience, it must be tough to get P at that age. If your psoriasis is quite bad it really affects you - more than mentally, it was explained to me by a dermatologist that the function of regulating body temp for instance relies on the skin so on a flare up your body is working harder and it’s like being ill. This also can affect your mental health beyond how you feel about your appearance.
I hope it settles down for you, are you seeing a dermatologist at the moment?
The enbrel working for a while then stopping is not unusual, I’ve been through 4 biologicals (I think?) and those that worked always seem to stop after a while for me.
We are in this together, and it’s a surprisingly common condition though you wouldn’t know it - I guess so many of us cover up..
Hope you like it here!
