Hi all, I am a lost soul from another psoriasis site that appears to have closed down. I did not know that you existed until I was introduced to your site by one of your members.
I am 67 years old and started with P and PA in my mid 20s though the PA started a little later than the P. I have been in hospital three times with the P when it got to a stage when it almost covered me, in last 40 odd years I must have had most treatments known to man in fact when I first went in hospital I had tar baths which just shows how far we have come in that time.
I am now taking Stelara in 90mg doses and has given me 99.9% clearage however in the past I was on MTX for nine years ,six years 25mg oral and three years by 20mg injection. I have also had Cyclosporine which I had a very bad reaction to and another one that slips my mind but caused my toe nails to grow sideways through my toe, it's a great problem P !!.
I will not even go into all the lotions and creams I have used as I am sure that everybody has a similar story but I am looking forward to looking round your site and having a chat .
