Hi Gang
Looong time since I’ve visited but, as usual, found exactly what I needed.
Long story short - chronic plaque psoriasis for 40+ years. Have had acitretin, methotrexate and now settled on Ciclosporin. Works well, blood tests fine, BP raised.
When the Corona virus started getting scary I stopped the ciclosporin. I’d rather have psoriasis than Corona - right???
Wrong!
Well 3 weeks later and psoriasis is back with a vengeance. Skin has been itchy/ irritated/ dry for a couple of weeks. Looked at myself in the mirror this morning and cried.
A few biggish plaques, which I have tried to treat with Enstilar, but so many little dots of plaques starting to erupt
Don’t think I’d realised til now how much psoriasis had affected my life and how different it’s been without it for the last few years.
So much info in this thread - thanks Fred and everyone else
Going to go back on ciclosporin ✔️, and contact my dermatologist!
