Controlling psoriasis

[glenda grant]

Hi I am new to forums so could struggle a bit! I was diagnosed with psoriasis in 2012 when I was heavily pregnant with my son. I have used all sorts too help keep it under control, it can really get me down alot and I wouldn't even dream of going swimming or wear dresses these days.

Welcome Natalielouise to our group I also had psorosis so bad on my back,legs I was given all kinds of creams and ointments nothing helped.My dermatologist put me on Embrel it's an injection 50 mg I self inject every Saturday and it has really helped me but so very expensive here in America.Cost $6000 a month for four injection thank goodness I have insurance.Sometime the drug companies will help out depending on income.I think they should make the drugs we need at an affordable price but doubt that will ever happen.Big drug companies just care about making money.I hope you can get the care you need.Glad you joined our group they have really helped me.
