I have had severe PS for over 40 years and have taken methotrexate (about 15 years before it nearly killed me), & Enbrel (about 3 years) each with moderate results from each medication. Then I "downgraded" (according to my DR.) to Raptiva. Well, it worked wonderfully for me!!! I had hardly any place on my body with PS. What a relief after all those years of suffering, with the psoriasis getting worse the older I got.

Now the medication that has finally worked for me has been recalled and I am into about my 10th week of Humira. I now have no part of my body that does not have psoriasis that hurts, itches or bleeds. My dermatologist has given me methotrexate injections the last two weeks, and while it is not quite as uncomfortable as before, I am still covered in areas I never has psoriasis before.

Is there no medication out there that has the active ingredients that were contained in Raptiva? I think I would rather take the chance on having the reportedly rare brain infection. This is not living well.
