G'day Everyone

[Raxyl]

Hi Craig,

Good  on you and good luck with the acitretin. I'm bugger all help with almost all psoriasis treatments as I was too scared to take methotrexate. Now just shy of five years of self-treatment with really good and persistent results, but I am still searching for something to boost the lymphocyte count so I can take a bit more DMF and better control the arthritis. Echinacea (pallida and angustifolia, as these species may help T cell proliferation) and Astragalus are next on my list of things to try.

Lots of kind and helpful people here and plenty to keep you entertained.

Cheers

Hello, Bill and thanks for the welcome. I understand your concerns with Methotrexate it worked for me initially but I found the side effects a bit much and became non-compliant which resulted in some pretty major flare-ups. I'm glad to be trying something else now that doesn't involve injecting myself with a cytotoxic syrup once a week. I'm not sure I would have the courage to embark on a journey like yours but congratulations on your determination and results.

Craig
