For Psoriasis: It works because it has steroids. Steroids reboot the immune system. Steroids can also cause problems so use as little as possible. .. you will figure it out. |

For Psoriasis: 46 year old male. Not to be overly dramatic, but I was ready to commit suicide my skin was so bad. My hands looked like I was a fire victim. My elbows and legs burned and bled constantly. My scalp would flake and drop into my eyes and all over my clothes. I was in constant pain, and my relationships were non existent. Flaky skin would drift off of me whatever I did. I was weeks away from having to leave work and go on disability, which would have been the end of the line for me. Depression set in so badly I just wanted to end it all. Then I found a new dermatologist. Everything changed. My first shot of Stelara made a difference. Nine months later, 90% clear. A few trouble spots, but my hands are CLEAR! What a life changer! For Psoriasis: I had almost disabling psoriasis for 10 years. My feet was my biggest problem area, many flare ups made it hard to even walk. I too have been on everything in the past, starting with ointments all the way to Remicade, Humira, and Enbrel with little success, mostly only helped for less than 6 months. Prednisone has almost ruined my joints, and as most of you know causes weight gain. In September 2012 I got my first injection. By December I was completely clear doing insanity workouts! Over 2 years I enjoyed a psoriasis free life and it's been great! Unfortunately, I started flaring 2 months ago, and my dermatologist put me back on prednisone as my whole body is covered again. Not sure where to go from here. |
