I don’t like taking drugs and try to stay off them. But I might rethink it it since I could probably qualify due to a psoriasis patch on my leg.
Does a psoeiasis patch correlate to Alzheimer’s development? Not being snarky. Would really like to know.
I believe Enbrel is an immunity-suppressing drug. Since certain diseases are auto-immune disorders, like psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, Enbrel suppresses your immune system so it cannot attack you and cause those symptoms. However, in doing so, it leaves you open to other diseases that your immune system routinely fights off. This is why they have warnings that "certain cancers, like lymphoma" can result from taking it.
I have an auto-immune disorder called Grave's Disease. One doctor suggested that I take Enbrel to reduce the swelling of my proptotic eyes (which required several surgeries). I demurred on Enbrel because of the side effect warnings.
This brings up the question: is Alzheimer's an auto-immune disease?
