Medication options for psoriasis

[Fred]

See Fred,
That's exactly how I feel. It seems a bit O.T.T.
The side effects sound bloody horrendous and that's just the common ones, let alone if you were unlucky and got the serious ones!
I am reading about them but the more I read the less inclined I am.

Well I can't see any point in going onto something for 6 months as it will come back and may even come back worse, psoriasis needs long term management (probably the rest of ones life) unfortunate they still push Methotrexate which can be used for longer than 6 months but like I said it's poison. You cant take alcohol as it will probably ruin your liver and when you read it can kill a fetus, that's enough to put any one off.

I would say, have a good read through those threads. Also use the search facility and type in the different ones to see what it throws up (*you need to be logged-in to use search) You may think it's worth giving one a try just to get it under control, then say after 6 months you would have more of lever to push for Bio or Fumaderm.

You have a couple of weeks, so take your time.
