Hello,
I have had psoriasis for nearly 50 years. It started as a tiny patch on my scalp and at various times in my life it has covered my body so badly that I have been hospitalised for 4-weeks at a time. I have tried dithranol, Betnovate, UVA, PUVA and now I am on my second course of Neotigason which I have been taking 20mg daily for 15 years. I am not absolutely clear but it is manageable and the summer sunshine helps so much. My last liver test showed some raised levels so I might be looking for an alternative treatment. I'm hoping to chat on this forum and find out about the latest treatments and what you all think about them. If I can share my experiences of my life with psoriasis and the treatments I've had to help others, then that is a bonus. Nette
