Have you been seen regularly by your dermatologist over 27 years or is this new. ? I ask because if it's new that you are seeing a dermatologist you will probably have to fail with creams, light, pills before going onto a Bio.
I'll move this thread to Psoriasis And Psoriatic Arthritis Topics as it's better suited there.
Welcome to Psoriasis Club by the way.
Frd.
no iv had treatment b4, lots of treatment, but all failed. been in hospital twice,
In that case you should push them. Have a look at this thread. NICE Quality Standards for Psoriasis
If you have failed on Creams, Light and Oral treatments then they should be looking at Bio. Having said that they still may not put you on Cosentyx before trying something like Stelara first.
doctor did say she would put me on bios. but like you said prob other stuff first,. to be honest. i would sooner have rid of arthritis then the psoriasis. altho the psoriasis is a pain
