So my opinion is they are still using the step wise system and they are using it because of cost.
They are relying on patients having a lack of knowledge
However I think people with the help of forums like this are getting wiser about what is available and are less likely to accept the first treatment offered.
Yes lets hope by us as real people with psoriasis giving our personal opinions without worrying about what the drug companies think they (the people treating us) will one day realise we are not just a product of their salary, we are people who have come to them and we trust them to play with our bodies in the hope that they may find something that can help us live a comfortable life.
1st on my agenda would be to get rid of Methotrexate, it may help people with some problems and is great if you want to loose a baby but for treating Psoriasis No. Come on dermatologists we are your patients paying your wages, give us the people a bit of hope without following the usual protocol, we want to enjoy a life.
