Psoriasis, Enbrel and Fibromyalgia

Question:

I have had P for about 35 years.  During that time I have had bouts of PA  in multiple joints with self limiting duration.  It seems that in the last 5 years after having had stomach surgery and not allowed to take NSAID’s for the arthritis, I have developed a pretty severe case of Fibromyalgia.  My Rhematologist think the Fibromyalgia is related the PA and has just started me on Enbrel….took my first shot today. I am taking narcotics and anti-anxiety meds now to cope with daily life, especially at night.  Have been through the gamut of antidepressants but side effects have lead me away from all of them.   I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with Enbrel and Fibromyalgia… I hope this helps, but I am used to failure.

Nothing firsthand, but I see on the fibro group that they’ve been trying Enbrel there for several years now.  Maybe you’ve used up all the bad luck and this one will work for you, here’s hoping! J.
