Pensaid as treatment for plaque psoriasis

[Christopher]

Caroline,

If you try it, please report back with either positive or negative comments. Here's how I use it:

During my daily shower, I gently rubbed off the plaque with a pumice stone, then used a fingernail brush to get rid of most of the dead skin. Don't rub so hard that you break the healthy skin. When dry, I apply first the VOLTAREN, and then the DMSO. Let the mixture dry before putting on a sock.

I had remarkable results in a week or two. I'm still using it daily, but now with no need for the pumice stone and nail brush because the plaque simply does not develop.

Since my post about my successful self-treatment of my plaque psoriasis with VOLTAREN and DMSO does not seem to be garnering much attention here, could someone suggest another forum that's not sponsored by, affiliated with, or censored by a pharmaceutical company? One with perhaps a larger readership?

No I think you will struggle to find anywhere as accommodating as here.

I'm sorry we only have a small readership..but what you have posted will be read by many.... 264 hits in 5 days isn't bad not everyone will post and many are guests that can't post

We are the only fully independent psoriasis website out there as far as I know.

People are reading the thread, it has had another 17 hits since Jim's answer 8 hours ago. But members will only answer if they feel the content is of interest to them, or they have questions or comments to add to the thread.

But as for suggesting another website: NO! no one here will point you to another forum, if they did the link would be immediately deleted as we don't allow the promotion of other websites.
(Hence Fully Independent)

Okay. Thanks, fellows. I'll let it ride here. This is a new discovery by a layman, and the medical and pharmaceutical industries don't like laymen interfering in their businesses.

Believe me, folks. I've tried ALL the topical remedies for plaque psoriasis, from cortico-steroid creams to fungicides and bacitracin to isopropyl alcohol and Tea Tree oil. NOTHING had worked until I tried VOLTAREN and DMSO.

If only one of you would try it, and could attest to the same relief I've had, my life's journey would be complete.

Hi Christopher,

I would like to try it, but I was a bit mistaken by misreading a little wrong. I had the idea that it also would help against psoriasis arthretics (PsA), but it is against plaque psoriasis and I don't have that,

But there are several people that have plaque psoriasis on this site. They may find your post and if not and they ask, then we will point them to your post, in order to mention to them that there is a possible alternative treatment.  

What we know on this site is that a lot of creams, potions, etc, do not work, do shortly work, have nasty side effects, etcetera.
We also are aware that industries earn large amounts of money on these products. We discuss those things on this site, as there is a freedom of speech over here, which is quite unique. This possibility is only there because the site is totally independent. In order to stay that way, linking is not allowed, not only doing advertising is not allowed but it could also bring the site in trouble. Pharma is smart.

We mention all kinds of treatments that can be tried. Everybody is different. What for one works does not necessarily work for someone else.

The only thing we can hope for is that people visit us over here, ask their questions and get a number of fair and honest answers. And this my friend, is truly unique.

Caroline,

I'm sorry about you psoriatric arthritis. My osteoarthritis (they're calling it arthrosis, now) has responded pretty well to the VOLTAREN and DMSO. I use it daily and can walk pain-free on level surfaces, but going down stairs, in particular, is still painful.

As I explained earlier, my daily use of the same combination on my plaque psoriasis was entirely accidental, spontaneous, and out of desperation. The itching had been driving me crazy for twenty years. The relief was shockingly fast.

Even though the plaque and itching have disappeared, I'm continuing the daily treatment. At some point soon, I'm going to stop the treatment and see how long it takes the plaque and itching to reappear. I'll post the results.

Since you need a prescription for the Voltaren, it's not something that one can just go out and buy to try out. It's something that I would be willing to discuss with my doctor and possibly try in the future (as I'm relatively clear at the moment.)

Just saying that is probably one reason why you won't have people saying ok, I'll try it and let you know as it takes time to get prescriptions and it's possible that even if I ask my doctor, he might say "no".

Kat,

Actually, you can go out and buy both VOLTAREN and DMSO. I have found both on EBay. DMSO is also sold openly at tack shops.

However, my doctor didn't hesitate to prescribe either VOLTAREN or PENNSAID, and as I mentioned earlier, VOLTAREN is sold OTC in German pharmacies.

I understand that people might be hesitant to try any treatment that has not been approved by the medical and pharmaceutical establishments, and certainly, neither VOLTAREN nor DMSO has been approved for treatment of plaque psoriasis.

The DMSO isn't a problem, plenty of tack shops around I don't think I'd trust ebay to buy medicine through however. I was simply pointing out that I can't go to my local drug store and pick it up, so it's not super simple to try out.
