Much appreciated. Thanks. I've been suffering from psoriasis since I was 5. 51 years old and contracted psoriatic arthritis back in 1996. My rheumotologist put me on methotrexate for 4 years with no success. I've tried every over the counter cream and treatment there is. Nothing ever works. The only thing left is some kind of detoxification of my body I guess. Great post. Much appreciated. Thanks.

People often look at my hands...and some are nice enough to ask if I got burned. I, too, would rather someone just come out and ask me what happened. I hate that there is always skin everywhere. When I took Enbrel...I was getting blood work every two weeks for the 3 1/2 months that I took it...long enough for me to know it wasn't doing anything. I don't miss any of the gazillions of meds I tried...except I do miss the hope of thinking it may go away. Alas, I've learned to deal with it for now. Hope the new meds work for you...I really do. I know how frustrating it is. Oh yeah…I know all about the comments. People often look at my hands…and some are nice enough to ask if I got burned.

(Now, you have to register with some government study to take the pill.) I hope that your meds work as well for your issue as Accutane did for my acne.
