pustular psoriatic arthritis

Anyone out there suffering from this.Pustular psoriatic arthritis consists of puss filled blisters that appear on the bottom of the feet and palms of the hands and also affects like the ankle joints and other joints. I have been treated with Methotrexate and its acquivalents, also Remicade, Humira and now on Embrel and the only thing that keeps the blisters gone is prednisone but wihtout the prednisone they come back. I take fish oil, folic acid and pain meds day and night. I sure could use some suggestions. I've had every test there is to rule out whatever but nothing shows to give my doc any new ideas. Possibly 2 times a week of the Embrel would help but I have yet to do that. My main question is does anyone have this arthritis and what might you be using to lessen the affects? God bless all of you with these horrible diseases and stay positive , that's how I get through each new day. Grin and bear? it?
