Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Kate F and Group Kate,, I will sure ask my derm about that. My toenails are so thick I can't use nail clippers to cut them. I was cutting the top end off in little peices. It would grow over to the next toe and cut into it. I really appreciate your input on this. ty. I went today to get free sample enbrel from my rheumy. I got 2. I am waiting for my insuranse to app[rove it. I took Enbrel with my last rheumy. She gave me so many problems that I dropped her and it took 3 months to see another RA doc. So I been off enbrel for about 3 months. It didnt help the pain. I guess she kept me on it cause it stop[ed the progression of RA. I am allergic to Plaquenil, Methrotrexate, I have to get my list of allergies off my primary doc cause I forget what I am allergic too, till some one brings it up. I am allergic to my favorite, Asprin Clora From: Kate Fair <kalfoley@...> Subject: Re: [ ] INFO - On psoriatic arthritis " " < > Date: Tuesday, June 8, 2010, 3:08 AM Clora, I'm sorry to hear of the psoriatric arthritis problems and I do hope the Enbrel kicks in soon. My friend is a dermatologist and she swears by Enbrel for PA. I would ask your dermatologist about how to manage the crumbling nails. I wonder if he/she could debride (sp) or file them down so they don't hurt as much and encourage new growth.
