My brother says it's far more effective for RA than anything else he's had (eg methotrexate, celebrex, prednisone, etc.) and with less side effects.
Hope this is useful. Sorry dreamer for jumping in on your thread. You may want to search the site here for Psoriatic Arthritis (or Psoriasis + neuropathy).
I vaguely remember someone posting a while ago about having PA and neuropathy or some connection.

Hi bluesfan, thanks for the info:-) I have been offered humira and if I just had A S I'd take it in a heartbeat. I don't believe it will address the nerve disease - whatever that is - and that worries me and affects me significantly more.
