my last Derm appointment was a couple of weeks ago and

Hi Phil,
I never had a blood test the whole time I was on Otezla!!....it must be up to the individual Dermatologist I guess,
I think he will wait for 2months and see how much I flare up!!..... wouldn't it be great if I never needed the biologicals!!

Hi folks! Well I returned to my Dermatologist after 6 months!! and he couldn't believe how my psoriasis hasn't flared up much!!
I have been showering with an olive oil soap and using coconut oil,
I do use Estella 3 times a week but am needing it less and less, he said I wouldn't get accepted for biological treatment with my current coverage!!...so I said happy days!!!!....I have another appointment after Christmas to see if it stays away!! ....so all in all........I'm in a good place!!!

Great news fingers, so you arent on any treatment apart from soap and moisturisers ? Is that right ,and occasional enstilar ... if so that’s great and I hope it stays that way

That's really good fingers , I will keep my fingers crossed as well !!!

Thanks!!!...... ..... well I've never heard that one before!!!

Great news Fingers, long may it continue.

Great stuff, Fingers. I can understand you wanting to keep doing the same things, but it can make life very ritualised. Worthwhile if it is keeping you clear.

Cheers
