Hi wooleyb 
to the club.....don't apologise for rambling....if you read through hear you will find you're not alone ...we all ramble and unload our concerns here.......you are among a friendly group of fellow sufferers so most will understand the frustration you are feeling......it does though take a while for our health system to go through all the cheap options which rarely do anything long term for the disease before they find a treatment that works for you
I have had puva in the past it was very good but the effects were never long lasting for me and I needed a course virtually every year and as soon as the course finishes my psoriasis started returning within weeks
You will unfortunately have to run through the dermatologists list of treatments and hope that some will work for you quickly. But you have to fail on the cheaper things before they will give you anything else....
Hopefully PUVA will get you clear and it will last.....we are all different and have different reactions to drugs so what works for you might not work for me..
My current tablets have kept me clear for around 6 years now ....so there is hope for you for the future there are so many treatments on the market now that there will be one for you
There is a corticosteroid treatment available that is impregnated in strips for cracked hands and feet
I can't recall it's name though
A great way to stay in touch with the latest advances in treatments is to subscribe to our free monthly newsletter Groups
