<human>: I was supposed to be on MTX for 2 months while I got the approval for Embrel. When my doctor told me about it, I thought "oh yes, anything to get rid of this" and his warnings about feeling sick on MTX didn't phase me because I tend to feel sick to my stomach anyway (I also have a hiatal hernia). Well, on MTX my body's like clockwork: take the meds Sunday, puke my guts out Tuesday, feel like crap Wednesday, begin to recover Thurs enough that by the weekend I'm alright outside of exhaustion. Also I didn't think it was possible to burn faster than I already did, and I work outside as a naturalist so constantly sunburning despite using sunscreen is not a good thing right now. Finally, I have to admit the whole not drinking thing sucks (bf brews and I've missed out on countless outings with friends because I don't want to have to pay a cover for a bar I can't drink in), and I've been getting sick using hookah as well even though my doctor said that was fine. On top of all that, I feel like my psoriasis has barely improved. I'm still itchy and in pain. It's been 3 weeks, does it take longer or is my impatience valid?

Now I'm about to start on Embrel, and I'm finding out more things about it than what my Dr told me that are now making me second guess myself. As much as the pain and itching bothers me, I don't want to exchange one pain for another and have to relearn how to deal with it all. I've already missed two shifts at work since I started on these meds because I was too sick to function well enough to work with the children. If I had a desk job it would be different, maybe. Has anyone here taken Embrel? What about other biologics, like Humira or even something I'm not familiar with? Any opinions?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Being on MTX sucks, and I'm worried being on Embrel will also suck. I want to know what everyone who's tried or studied biologics thinks about it.
