Hi Lexidoll
I’m a little late coming on to this thread but I hope you have managed to return and coaxed your Fiancé to take a peek at the forum. We all suffer with psoriasis in one form or another, some to a considerable extent.
I can understand why he gets frustrated and short tempered, it can drag the best of us down. What us sufferers fail to remember sometimes is that this disease (because that is what it is it is, not a condition or a minor inconvenience) effects both people in a relationship. I can’t imagine how lost and out of control you feel at the present, but it does need talking about it because it wont go away without treatment. There is a point where the creams just don’t cut it and they shouldn’t be used long term or over too much of the body particularly with the steroid ones. It sounds like neither the MTX and Acetretin are failing him so something different is is needed.
If you have not got an appointment with a Dermatologist, he needs one and I would go with him, do some research and don’t be afraid to ask any of us. Most of us are tame and will freely exchange our experiences – there is no such thing as a stupid question on here.
