Psoriasis. Now rid after 45 years

0 Replies

I had psoriasis for have very many years going to various Doctors when moving house to house. I had loads of creams, ointments, some put on and later wash off an hour later. Some smelly, and one that looks like a jar of mint sauce. I was on pills ( methotrexate and follic acid treatment. This required my to have regular blood tests. I also had ultra light sessions at the hospital. You stand in a cubical like a shower enclosure for a few minutes, this did nothing, except feeling like I had sunburn. Anyway I was offered treatment called "Guselkumab" This you have by injections. Now if that puts you off, don't let it. Keep reading! I agreed to give it a go. Firstly you do have to do the injections yourself "keep reading" for the first time a Nurse comes to your home and shows you how to inject. After that your on your own. The first 2 are 4 weeks apart then after that its every 8 wks. These injection are delivered to you for you to keep in the fridge. These injections is in the form of a pen. You don't see the neadle you just hold it to your skin press the button and the fluid goes in. No pain, no blood, and little or no marks. From the first injection I saw this Psoriasis start. I take the injections every. and have a blood test once a year. As with all medication there is a downside. The medication lowers your immine system. During the covid outbreak I aways wear a mask. I am now free of psoriasis. I can go to swimming, sun bathing, wear short sleeve shirts without being embarrassed. This medication is only by approval of the Hospital dermatology. So before you do anything, Google it Guselkumab.
