Psoriasis

[DWS]

Anyone else on here suffer from the above?
I have had it for about 20 years.
Had the Max doses of light treatment so that's out of the window.
Tried Enbrel for 2 years successfully but after that time it came back.
Been on Humira, again for two years, it worked up until a couple of months ago.
Psoriasis now back with a vengeance. Seeing the Derm in a couple of weeks but does anyone have any tips to stop the itching in the meantime?

Driving me mad!

Oh poor you.... I have had a mini attack of it, I think brought on as a side effect of beta blockers or ace inhibitors taken for a heart issue. It why I asked what meds you were on, if any, as there seems to be a link.

NDA,
Sorry in typical Pistonheads fashion I didn't read all your post.
I'm on:
Blood pressure pills,
anti depression pills
statins
metformin

the nhs has really got it's teeth into me!

All,
Thanks for all your replies/advice/suggestions.
I have had uvb and it worked fantastic. I have had five lots of treatment now so can't have anymore which is a shame.
Currently lathered up with Diprobase and a cotton pyjama set. Look like a "Mummy". seems to be a bit better today if not perfect! I'm about 50% covered at the moments and it's getting worse by the day.

Like I said I'm seeing the Derm in a couple of weeks so hopefully he can get me on something else. Bleeding like a stuck pig from the scratching at the moment.

Thanks again for your comments.
