Hi Kev,
On the protocol that Fred is mentioning.
So the next step is pills. They normally want to give you methotrexate, cyclosporine or Acetretin. That is common.
There are two views over here on the forum.
A pro and an anti methotrexate group. I am on the latter because of my bad experiences with MTX. In the netherlands the protocol has already changed and over here it says that one can best start with dimethylfumarates. (Fumaderm)
Exactly what Jim says.
Read on over the forum, there is a lot more info.
Cheers,
Caroline

Quote:Lots of patients go through the same cycle, but as far as I can overview of the results on the forum, creams and light will only work for a while, because they don't tackle the problem of psoriasis, being a immune disease, at the right point. They only tackle the results.
This usually means starting with creams, then light treatment, followed by pills, and finally Bio injections.
