Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Not sure if I have introduced myself, but I have has ps since 1962 which is a very long time. I also have had RA since 1973. I currrently take Pred - have lowered my dosage of years from 10 mg/day to 8 1/2 over the past few months - I can't tell you how delighted I am. So, I take Pred, Methotrexate, and Enbrel. Interestingly, none of the above have improved my ps - my legs are covered. In fact, when I began Enbrel in about 1998/1999 the ps began on my legs - for the first time ever. I wonder what that means? Then this past March I had a life-threatening kidney infection, during which I was on IV antibiotics of course and my ps went away. My Rheumy said I probably had a secondary intection?? Possible I suppose with scratching and all. By late May it came back. It's driving me nuts. I've been using 1% cortaid, which keeps it tolerable. My husband and I are currently in Colorado for the summer. When I get home after Labor Day, I plan to visit a dermatologist. Haven't seen one in years, so it is time I guess. Odd that neither the pred nor the Mtx are helping. I shouldn't be surprised since my bod has always worked in weird ways. Comments?
