Re: Re: Newly diagnosed - still wondering?

Holly, I'm newly diagnosed too and have it in both ears, scalp terribly,

like you, arms, legs, trunk and well, from the waist down, 100%. Have you

decided on a treatment?

I had my first Remicade treatment yesterday. The experience was very

positive; I've found myself a fantastic doctor with an incredible staff.

The problem with me using any ointments or cream is that the psoriasis

covers over 90% of my body. I'd need a vat! LOL It's in my ears, for

instance...in my ears, not on them. So, we had to go the Remicade way.

I must say, I already feel better. For about eight years I have carried a

50 lb. " back pack " on my shoulders. This morning I woke up and it's about a

pound. Doc says to tell it bye bye; it will be gone soon. That's nice!

The psoriasis has begun to recede with a pretty good dose of prednisone

daily, and soon I will be able to use a cream for little patches that may

show up. So I'm hopeful.

Thank you so much for responding.
