As you will see there is a lot to learn in this group.I have had psoriasis for over 15 years and possibly longer.As a teenager I had scalp issues thought it was dandruff but I think it was psoriasis.Then about 10 years I had to see a dermatologist my scalp was horrible and had it a bloody mess. She gave me steroids in my scalp about 20 injections and I showed her how my knee was double in size.She told me suspected I has psoriatic arthritis and sent me to a Rheumatologist and did testing and also drained my knee.Talk about painful.I have been seeing him for almost 10 years.I was on about 10 different meds in pill form.Then he said I think it's time for biologics. Started on Remicade and after about 9 infusions I had bad side affects and had to stop.Had to wait for 6 months for my new biologic Enbrel 50 mg.I give myself an injection every Sat.it is helping the arthritis but I still have the psoriasis and I am hopeful it will eventually it will help my skin.I use all kinds of steroid creams and it helps for awhile.This is a horrible disease I am hoping one day to have clear skin.Hope you find some relief.
