[split] Acitretin

[JohnB]

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and was encouraged to join by the support for each other I read on the forum. Very encouraging to see. 
  I have now started my journey with Acitretin. I will keep everyone up to date with my progress.

 Welcome to the Club Acedaly. Like Jim has said we are all friendly bunch, afflicted with this disease, some more than others. There are quite a few of us on Acitretin with several having only recently started on it. It is starting to look like we may outnumber the DMF gang   . (A little friendly rivalry). I have been on it for a couple of months now and fortunately have had few side effects, dry lips being the continual one. I have had peeling palms and soles of my feet but this appears to have receded now. Give it plenty of time it is a very slow burner in most people, but you should start seeing some effects in around 6 weeks. Please let us know how you go on with it good or bad, it is all useful information. Any questions, dont hesitate to ask, somebody will point you in the right direction if they can't answer it directly.
Don't forget the off topic area, there is generally someone lurking in the background.
