Has anybody tried humera for psoriasis? My doc was able to get approval from my insurance company for it. She said that she preferred humera over enbrel because she feels it works better for people who are heavier.

I have been on humira for almost 3 years. It has changed my life. My skin is completely clear and my joints feel normal. My right elbow and my neck were completely locked due to the psa.Humira has given me my life back. The only bad thing I have experienced with humira is that it burns like fire when you inject it. If you leave it out for a half hour before injecting and go slowly it's not so bad. It has literally saved my life. Thank God for this drug. Good luck to you.

This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
