Great news Tanlou thank you for sharing.
I love to hear back from people going onto the Bio treatments for the first time, as they are 90% of the time amazed at how quick they can start to work. And yes you will feel good as it will give you your life back, and yes you should celebrate. So Cake all around I think.
The red patch's you mention will fade eventually but it may take some time, but they won't be raw and once you start getting some sun on them you will be well away. Having said that sometimes you may still see a slight change in the pigment where the psoriasis was to your normal skin, but it's mostly you that will notice it and they will fade over time.
I'm so pleased for you, keep up the progress and keep updating this thread, it will make you feel so much better when you look back at it.
Regards.
Fred.
