My dermatologist prescribed me Enbrel and it was approved. I have yet to pick it up at the pharmacy, I was just curious is anyone out there uses it & what their results are?

It's completely paid for by my insurance. Only have a small copay for 3 months supply. It's all taken care of & will be over-nighted through my M.O.P.
* I wish there were some more helpful responses...

I have been using it for about 2 months. The good new is that there have been no side effects. The bad news is that there have not been any good effects either. Derm wants me to give it another month. If it doesn't work at that point, he will switch me to Raptiva. Embrel does work well for a lot of people though.

I had a 13 year history of psoriasis, though I was in good health otherwise. But these severe large, thick and scaly excoriated plaques on my neck, ears, trunk and limbs ruined the way I was leading my life. I would be with red, inflamed itchy skin for most part of the year and these silvery scales would seem to be erupting without any reason. To make matters worse, blisters would appear over already red and itching skin. It was living hell.
I was treated with various options but nothing seemed to be working. Some of the treatments that I underwent in this depressing period of 13 years included tar preparation, tropical steroids and anthralin. I was also given light therapy many times but everything I tried would give me temporary relief.
And soon, after a few days I would be plagued with the situation again. In one of those moments when I was completely lost I stumbled upon this website just by chance. I read it and felt that as if someone had put the story my life on this web page. I was thoroughly convinced that if ANYONE can cure me of condition, it would be you.
And was I right, or what. I started recovering within 3 days of starting this treatment. Something that had become a painful part of me for 13 years was actually getting healed! My ears are healed and my neck is smooth again!. I am a month into the treatment and I have never felt better in my life!

I've not heard that indication. I can't believe your insurance paid for it. You might want to check your Pharmacy to make sure of two things. First that your insurance does pay for it, and what the copay is. Second if the Pharmacy even has it on hand. Enbrel has to be drop-shipped, which requires the Pharmacy to make a special call to arrange it.

I Know lots of people that have had eczema really bad,and have tried EVERYTHING, only to have nothing really work.
Anyone from 3 years old to 80 years old.
Really sad.
Until they tried a lotion that I know of that has T-36 C3 melaleuca oil in it.( T-36 C3 is the highest grade of tea tree oil )
I personally do not have eczema or psoriasis,but this has really helped alot of people.
I don't sell it or anything but if you want more info you can email me at enhancinglivesdaily@yahoo.com
