Hello Lynn,
Now on the treadment or your Daughter I did already answer in the other post. Yes it is time for a change. MTX has to start working withing 6 to 12 weeks, if not, do not continu. It has no sense and is too dangerous as it is quite toxic stuff. In a higher dose it is also used for cancer treatments.
On potions and lotions, I don’t know of any user of the forum who has a consistent clearance on potions and lotions. Yes there is clearance on the potions with corticosteroids but it also has an impact on the skin, it gets thinner.
Neither do I have any knowledge of members of the forum who have continued clearing with lighttherapy. Most can only use it until they reach the max time of UV, you cannot continue on it as your risk on skin cancer on a later age rises too much.
Now I don’t know if you are light or dark skinned. People with dark skins can withstand the UV much longer.
On the systemics, Personally I would avoid cyclosporine it is also a nasty drug. Acetretin may be possible, there are several with good results but also weird side effects.
In Europe we have the Fumarates, Skilarence or Fumaderm.
That might be interesting for your daughter as it is transformed into a nature substance in your body, and then does its moderating work. However I don’t know if they are available in South Africa, maybe you can import them from Holland..
After that, if that does not work, you will have to make the step to biologicals, where Stelara and Cosentyx have very good papers, better than the other Bio's.
So far a short introduction.
If you need more information on a subject or product, just shoot the question and someone will jump in with information and personal experience.
Cheers,
Caroline.
