G’day fialstar, to the mad house

Have no fear, GB is here !

Now, I’m the resident lunatic on here and I bite !

I’m the only insane one on here, all the others are loonies



Seriously, ask any questions that you may have and we will do our utmost to answer them and advise etc etc. As Fred said, we are all sufferers with this horrible disease and this site has a vast wealth of information etc, it’s very much like an online library just solely for psoriasis etc and one or two of us put up photos that we’ve taken on here to show all members the worst and the best of our skin.

Right fialstar, and enjoy the site and good night from me.

Welcome Fialstar,

Good to read that you have kept your psoriasis under control. What did you use? As for the arthritis, I agree with fellow Aussie Craig's advice to consult a rheumatologist. It is the best way to access the range of treatments available via the PBS in Australia. You can get some idea of how it works by reading info from the Department of Human Services about psoriasis. Basically you have to try and fail a number of treatments to get access to further options. Craig's journal gives a very good idea of the practicalities of obtaining treatment. If you have worsening arthritis it is very important that you get assessed by a rheumatologist as they are the guys that can apply for you to access treatments like Enbrel, Humira and Cosentyx if sulfasalazine and methotrexate are not helping you.

You will find a great bunch of entertaining and helpful people on Fred's site.

Cheers

Welcome!

Sounds like you are on the right track. You'll find lots of information on this site and also people who are willing to share what has and hasn't worked for them.
