I came to this site via Twitter.
My Psoriasis score was a 56.
Hello to all and I am sorry for you having to suffer with Psoriasis.
I first was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis 21 years ago.
Then came the psoriasis.
I read about remission. My psoriasis has never gone into remission.
I have been treated with topical cortisteroids, vitamin D3, UVA with Psoralen, UVB, methotrexate, cyclosporine, prednisone, amevive, Raptiva, Enbrel, Humira, Stelara & Remicade.
The PsA symptoms have varied over the years.
I am currently struggling with my second bout of full body
Erythrodermic Psoriasis. I first experienced this in Oct 2010.
Both times it occurred after missing 1 or more Remicade Treatments.
I currently am off my remicade regimen due to an infected foot ulcer.
The hole in the bottom of my foot prevents me from soaking in a bath.
It is a crazy conundrum!
I get Remicade by infusion every eight weeks. When continuous, I have 5 clear weeks (0 P) followed by 1 1/2 weeks of plaque appearances, then treatment, then 1 1/2 weeks of plaques disappearing, then 5 clear weeks all over.
When I was on a every 6 week schedule, I was 100% clear.
The current insurer will not go for a 6 week schedule.
Again, hi to all.
