Hi and 
If you are going to be hanging around it would be nice to call you something a little less insensitive than Pain.
I'm guessing that you have had the UVA light treatment, fairly quick zaps? They may want to put you through a UVB session before they start talking orals. Every clinic has its own protocols
. UVB entails a tablet 2hrs before to make your skin more sensitive but you have to wear UV eye protection for some time after each treatment. From what my Dermy told me it does have a better success rate with decent remission. Safe to say it didn't work for me, but it might be worth a punt. Anyways keep us all informed on what happens next we are always interested, everybody's story is different. Also check out the off topic section - always good for a giggle.
