Acitretin - here we go!

[PurpleMusic]

Today I start the above treatment  - the first time I've taken anything other than topical creams and a few bouts of puva. However the Psoriasis is making a break for it and it needs putting back in its place!

So, as Fingers did on his thread earlier I'm thinking of taking some photos - he got me thinking... I'm going to try and take some timelapse, same shot, each day...and once I have something worthwhile I'll post-it up here (somehow)!

Right, anyone seen my tripod?!

Welcome! I have had very good results with Acitretin. It is slow acting but it works well for me. Hang in there and good luck.

Thanks KH924! Yup, will definitely keep going with this - for the first time in a long time it feels like I might actually be controlling the psoriasis rather than the other way around.

You will find it very helpful having this thread, if you update it as you go you will always have something to look back on. I once couldn't remember when I changed my dose at a dermatology appointment, so I went to my thread on the doctors computer and found the answer she was looking for.

Good luck with your journey.
