deciding to try systemic or biologic treatment....

Posted Mon 21 Jan 2013 03.44 by jojo

Hello My husband has severe psoriasis. He has had it since his late teens, so for more than 20 years. He has had topical ointments, light treatment etc. We emigrated to Australia ten years ago in the hope of the sunny climate curing him (it helped a lot for several years). But in the past year or so it has been back with a veangence and very severe. My husband is depressed and it affects the whole family. He has always resisted systemic treatment but is now considering it as a last resort. I am interested to hear from others who have weighed up the benefits and risks of systemic or biologic drugs. How did you make this decision? Are the positive effects of these drugs long or short term? Thanks :0)

i have it all over my body

hi i recently changed my diet realising that the cure must come from the inside,so i avoid anything with wheat in it you have to be careful because wheat is in nearly everything i also gave up cows milk and use almond milk it tastes realy nice and keeps for longer i believe cows milk is for cows and if you check it out on youtube you will give it up too.i purchased a nutri bullet and have a smoothie every day i have banana,carrot,frozen fruits and spinach green vegtables are very good for the skin you can buy them from tesco or any other supermarket and i do not drink tap water i think that flouride is poison i have to wash in it bit if i had a choice i wouldnt so now i will explain the changes since the diet first i am 62 i have psoriasis or should i say had because it is definately fading and i think will eventualy go altogether im also about 17 stone and this diet has a nice side afect it also helps to loose weight because most foods that contain wheat are fattening i also have C.O.P.D and if i can bring my weight down that will help my breathing i hope you give it a try you have nothing to lose let me know how your doing god bless dougie
