Shame it didn't work Marco, but it can take time to find the right treatment. Yes you must try and control anxiety, that and stress will make psoriasis worse.
As for the Bio's you can read about them all here: Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
Having tried both TNF and IL types I would recommend the IL types, and as you don't have psoriatic arthritis I would go for Stelara. I was on it over 6 years and have always found it the best for psoriasis as have a lot of our members.
Yes they will run lot's of tests like blood TB and in some cases x-ray before starting them, this is just to make sure you have no underlying problems that the Bio could make worse. Most people pass those tests without any problems.
Have a good holiday and chill out for a while then have a look through the thread I mentioned, also run a search here Search to find lots of threads from our members and the latest news about the ones you are interested in.
