End of my tether

[Fred]

Hi there
So exactly one week on acitretin and I am not sure that this should be working as quick as it is, but it is! I have hands with nearly normal skin! My legs, arms and back are no longer scaly but flat. My head has stopped itching! It is incredible!

Not all treatments work the same for everyone, but when you do find one that works like this I would say continue and enjoy.

I only have one side effect and I am not even sure it is one ( could be a bug) I am extremely tired so much so that I actually took the day off work.

I don't know about Acitretin but psoriasis itself can make one feel very tired at times. Again it doesn't effect everyone, but I have and still do get very tired moments.

But do you know, I don't care, I have skin that is on its way to being normal!

That's the way to be. If you feel good then that is the best medicine for psoriasis.

 
Not that it will mean much to the guys on here but I have actually been able to shave my legs for the first time this year!

You want to try using the Mens room after Jim has been in there on a Friday night.    

Enjoy the break from psoriasis and your book & chocolate.
