Hi Angie,
Good to see you around again and very happy that the Stelara still works out fine for you.
Makes a lot of sense to keep on going to the derm once a year, indeed too much light-therapy is an ongoing risk.
In my view, light-therapy is a dead-end street, it helps, but the Psoriasis always comes back, and your skin gets an overdose each time.
The idea of the lighttherapy is to let Vitamin D develop in the skin that fights the Psoriasis, but what I don’t get then is why do they not measure the vit D in your blood and then, depending on that level, give you a standard extra dose of vit D in pills form. That vit D will in the end also reach your skin, assuming a decent high level. That circumvents the lighttherapy problems.
Myself I take an extra dose of vit D every two days, and functioning fine on that.
Don’t get too tipsy in the bar…
