Welcome to the club, can't comment on your treatment but you will get a lot of support here.

Am I the only one who thought the medical profession couldn't spell "tropical" only to have it pointed out that "topical" was in fact correct and I was an idiot!

Just thought I would point out that this is an old thread and Simon hasn't logged in this year, so I doubt you will get an answer.

Doh!

It's ok I am fine recycling jokes.

It's easy done, and no problem. But sometimes I think people may be waiting for an answer and get disappointed when there is none, so I let them know that they are not "Billy No Mates"

Hello

I've just joined the site and I thought I'd introduce myself. 

I was diagnosed around five years ago and have tried a variety of topical treatments, varied diets and have very recently been prescribed acetretin so I'm hoping for positive results.

The psoriasis* is spreading pretty much everywhere and it has knocked my confidence for six. My partner is really supportive and I owe so much to her. I guess I'm in a similar if not exact situation to many other members here.

I've joined as I would like to hear others stories regarding treatment, diet and how they get on with smoking and drinking. I smoke and drink but not in any particular quantity.

*I'm a little funny about calling psoriasis 'my' psoriasis. I don't own it. It doesn't belong to me, I didn't ask for it therefore it is not mine. I hope everyone is ok with me using this terminology and in my posts, I will be referring to it as exactly that. 

I look forward to discussing everything psoriasis with you all and I will keep the forums posted with progress and personal feelings about it, and the treatment.

I am currently having a lovely time in Menorca whilst I am really enjoying (if a little paranoid) about getting my skin out in the sun so if I don't respond immediately, please don't be put off. I will respond to all posts and I hope to play a positive part as a  community member on this board. 

Much love, Hellosimon.

I'm afraid John (mabcomp) that Simon hasn't been back for several months unfortunately, so you may not get an answer from him ( I hope I'm wrong )

We have a few musicians here as members, keep an eye out for them they may just pop in

Thank you JimL.  As I recall in one of his messages he did say he would be away for a while but WOULD be back.

I hope he will then we can have a concert with the musicians here

Just an after thought,  If my GP has recommended Betnovate for the sole of my foot im going to need to be careful then because the skin is already thin.
