My doctor wants me to try either Cimzia or Orencia. I don't want anything that is going to cause another psoriasis flare or bout of Iritis. Has anyone been on either of these that has psoriatic arthritis had problems with new or worsening psoriasis or eye problems?

thanks

Hi, Alicat...I was on Orencia for three years and the "mystery rash" came and went a few times....I was just switched to Cimzia about five weeks ago, and I had a nasty breakout of the rash which is now just going away...one of my rheumy's suspected that I may have psoriatic arthritis because of the end joint in my fingers being affected but the diagnosis was never officially switched.

I hope this helps....keep us posted on what you decide.
