Would you believe it costs $3,000 a month, my insurance pays $2,400 and the drug company helps me with the $600. I am thankful for that and I use all kinds of creams, shampoo's for my scalp psoriasis. So I will keep my fingers crossed that in time my Enbrel will help my scalp and skin issues.(Fri-06-02-2015, 08:06 AM)Caroline Wrote:It all depends on how you define successful ,I had 9 years on MTX but it never got the p any better than 70-80% clear though it did work well on the PsA however 2.25 years on Stelara has been the most successful on the P with 99% clearance but not good on the PsA .(Fri-06-02-2015, 03:20 AM)glenda grant Wrote:(Fri-06-02-2015, 03:09 AM)jiml Wrote: Yes Glenda we are waiting for your skin to clear on enbrell
