"Doctor said in 20 years she never saw plaque psoriasis as bad as mine, I looked like a breakout of the measles or something. So after 8 mg the first day, in 30 minutes started feeling better, 3 days later clear skin.... haven't taken for a week and no flare returned. Picking up my script today, taking 2 mg 2 times a week and a week off to be mild on the body."

"My doctor prescribed this medication for a bad cough. The side effect was a clearing of my psoriasis. Horrible red-scaled skin on my elbows, chest, and groin has healed for a while. I took 13 pills, 2 a day for 5 days, and 1 a day for 3 days. I will ask my doctor to prescribe this every 3 months to prevent further flare-ups."

"Started to take this medicine for a tongue condition (geographical tongue). I read it lowers my immune system, and it definitely does. I only have one more day of it, thank goodness. I feel horrible. My head hurts, my eyes are watery, and I constantly feel achy. I don't really see a difference in my tongue either. Just want to be off this medicine! Let's hope the withdrawals aren't bad either."
