Acitrecin - week 1

[kh924]

Ok folks after a really bad flare over the last few weeks, I've decided to forego the natural remedy route for now and give the Acitrecin and topical steroids a try. I found a nifty back applicator at the pharmacy so I can apply the steroid cream all over. Oh I'm just going to lube myself up and have a party! I'm going to be diligent about sticking with the routine and see if there is any progress in a month when I go back to the Derm. I'm hoping I will tolerate the Acitrecin as I cannot go on biologics because of my cancer history. My Dr. did tell me I could go on methotrexate and wanted to put me on that because he said it would work faster than the Acitrecin but my cancer Dr. says it's poison and to stay away. I know many here have had good luck with Methotrexate and if Acitrecin doesn't work, I'll have to give it a try. Dr. thinks I have about 70% coverage btwn my scalp, face, torso, arms and legs and said he rarely has seen a case spread so fast and be so acute. Lucky me. Also taking Atarax for the itch. I wish I didn't have to deal with any of this and it would just go away on it's own but I know that's not going to happen.

I'll post on the natural remedies board about my experience with Functional Medicine Dr. I had last week.
