Ixekizumab trial

[Fred]

when I started the trial I was clinically measured at 22% coverage that was most areas of my body with some level of scaling upper body and legs being the worst although i did not see any exact measurements being taken i.e. the using of a ruler etc. I did ask how the percentage was worked out, I was told that an EXACT measurement would be almost impossible due to differing sizes of - body mass, patches of scaling and different stages of development of scaling. So a rule of thumb is used , one open hand = 1% coverage, when last assessed I was measured as being 1% that included the odd very small spot of scale but mostly dry patches of skin, it has now been over a month since my last injection and I am still in that 1% bracket I think although the Dr expects a return to wide scale coverage  around  12 weeks.
