Been a long time since I dipped my finger into Erotics Fred.
May have to reacquaint myself, keep my hand in, so to speak.

Yes it has been a crazy year. I never dreamt I would get back to working full time. It was tiring and required some stress management but I did enjoy it. Can't see me getting back there any time soon though. :(

I also found my daughters......living 30 miles away. Their Dad has finally relented and given me his address and I now have updated pictures. The Girls and I are slowly re-building bridges.  

Ooh....and I just ordered some funky, shocking green crutches. I don't intend to sit around too much and get depressed this time ( I hope ). At least I know what's coming ( although I will most likely need to release a rant and a few expletives ). XXX

Ok, welcome back Brighteyes.
Let's get a bit on track, you apparantly have two daughters? From an earlier marriage? Which means that O/H is apparantly your friend or new husband. I have always thought that he was your hubby.
Have you yourself asked your new consultant for the why he wanted you to stop with cyclosporin? Did he know what he was doing? What kind of trouble you would get in?
Did he discuss the why? Which blood measurements were wrong and why?
Indeed now changing to MTX doesn't solve a thing.
Did you already confront him with the results of his actions on you?

I am really feeling a bit pissed on the apparant ease with which he seems to have gotten you off this medication.
Now I am busy writing I immediately want to ask you I why you don't go for Fumaderm? It seems an option you did not try before. And I think that Jim also would want to suggest it.

Anyway, great to have you back and great that you see your daughters again.

Hello and nice to meet you! Sorry to hear things with your psoriasis aren't going well. Hope things improve for you soon.

Yes I would love to suggest Fumaderm but I have my doubts as to whether it's available for PSA it's strangely only approved  for plaque psoriasis ... But I agree Caroline it would be a good option if she could get it

Who cares Jim, just fool the derm.... For Brighteyes it just doesn't matter, she has all types of psoriasis as far as I can read.
And.... Put more pressure on the dermatologist. They are no saints.

Well there's no doubt in my mind if she could get it it would give long term remission.... if the side effects don't get too bad .. There are several members on here now who have succeeded with it for instance [Group Specific]
There are now several on here that have posted about Fumaderm .. So BRIGHTEYES if you want a list let me know

Just to clarify.
I have a fiancé ( been together almost 10 years ) and we have an 8 year old son.
My ex-husband is the one who went AWOL with my daughters to him ( now aged 16 and 12 ).
My new Derm has not discussed anything in depth with me at all. I will be back in clinic on the 19th and I want to compile a list of questions. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Kat,

thanks for the wave and kind words.

Much appreciated.

Hmmmm. I think the speed of this change (coupled with my physical and mental exhaustion) has caught me off guard.
Thank goodness I logged back on.
I need to be asking this new broom dermatologist exactly what's going on.
Yep....I am guilty of putting blind trust in people with white coats. I need to ask a lot of questions next Thursday.
