Afternoon all,
joined up on here as i have had P for 24 years now & wanted to see what happens on here & if possible, give some poor sod some advice about P if i can help ?
I am hoping to get the Ustekinumab jab soon as i feel like a dog with fleas at the moment.
Sorely tempted to use a large wire brush to relieve the itching

Happy scratching everyone

Always good to have new members look forward to reading more soon
I have a couple of wire brushes going spare at the moment as I am currently clear

Thanks for that Jim

You are lucky that you are fairly clear with your're P Jim.

Fingers crossed i will be soon in the next few months if my liver tests say i can have this uztekinumab ? (sounds like a country, uzbekistan etc)

Hello Grizzly Bear to Psoriasis Club.

Joined up to see what happens here: Not much, we're all very sensible. (Well I am) Like Jim said you will find us a friendly bunch and lots of advice and support from others who understand.

Give some advice if you can help: The more help we get the better and thank you for offering, please don't hesitate to start your own thread in Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis about your journey with Stelara (Ustekinumab)

I've been on Stelara for 4 years and it's given me my life back, so I look forward to reading your progress.

I see you've already found your way around the Off Topic board, so I'll leave you to it. But if you do have any questions just shout out.

Regards.

Fred.

Thanks Fred for that.

I have photos of what mt skin looks like now, so, if i am allowed Stelara, i will take more to see the progress etc.

Good idea I used photo's too and my dermatologist has copies here is one of my back [Group Specific] in the members only section.

I've also found reading back on my thread has helped too, especially to refer back on if I think something is going on.

Andy I think you are in for treat with Stelara, so fingers crossed for you that you do get it.

[jiml]

Yes I will agree with Fred and hope you get a good result with Stelara it's supposed to be a terrific drug and Fred is one of its biggest fans .... Let's hope you get it and it works well

Hello Andy,

Welcome to Psoriasis Club.
Hope you will have lots of fun here, but I have the impression that you already quickly have found the road to that....
