I've had Psoriasis since I was 6 months old and spent periods of my life in hospital wrapped in coal tar bandages. Having tried most treatments and my skin being almost 90% affected, my dermatologist finally suggested biologicals. I started on Humira and wow what a difference! Within 3 months I had totally clear skin and I had my life back. Sadly, after 6 years of Humira, it suddenly stopped working for me & I tried an alternative biological- sadly it didn't work. I am now on Stelara and completely free of Psoriasis for the past 3 years. What works for 1 patient may not work for another. However, there are lots of biologicals now, it's just a matter of finding 1 that will work for you. What you see on the skin is only a small part of what is going on inside you. Psoriasis can affect your other organs and also your joints. Psychologically, it can destroy your confidence & your normal life. Biological drugs are not without side effects but the risks are small compared to the benefits they can bring.

[@sherrygaetke3968]

Myself included! My dermatologist switched me from Humira to Tremfya. What a miracle for me!

[@ginabarraclough2391]

please see my comment it might help

[@NorseForse]

Thank you for sharing your perspective as someone who lives with this condition. It’s so important that people know what works for one person might not work for another. (And this isn’t just a matter of moisturizing.) Or more importantly, that those suffering with this condition know they’re not alone, and know there’s help available. Yes, biologics- like any medication or treatment- comes with its own risks and potential side effects. And some medications or treatments may stop working after a while. But fortunately there are now several different medications & treatment available… so don’t give up trying to find what works for you. I’m so glad you didn’t throw in the towel when one medication stopped working for you.❤ Thanks again for sharing your experience.❤

Similar situation for me too. Started with Humira, then went to Stelara, and now I'm on Tremfya.

What is the medicine though? I suffer from psoriasis as well.

[@eckoch8774]

@@hamana9842 It is a type of drug called mono-clonal antibodies. Basically, an injectible drug, designed based on the body's natural antibodies- for psoriasis, which is caused by an immune overreaction, these antibodies target some of the signalling chemicals that the immune system uses, and stops the inflammatory process. They are quite a new development, and can be expensive, but depending on where you live, you might be able to talk to your doctor about getting on the medicine :) good luck!

If you haven’t already, you need to get him to a good Dermatologist. These biologic medicines are awesome. Don’t waste his time with creams. As some ointments do help but no meds like biologics. Get some, please!!!

[@jujubeatz-mp1rw]

No don’t use biological injections, they stop working after a while plus they are really expensive I was paying $2000 dollars even with medical insurance. We have to fix the root of the problem which is to get rid of all the toxins in our bodies. I would suggest for him to cut out any alcohol, tobacco, sodas and gluten/wheat from his diet and go on a whole fresh food plant based diet for 6 months. The psoriasis will disappear guaranteed

[@lexv4894]

Hello, I have had plaque psoriasis for 40 years now. Lower legs, core, underarms, ears, scalp. For a long time i had UV treatment every 2-3 years. But i maxed out on that. Only other thing which made it go away is taking daily cold showers and no more hot/warm water. Please take time and look in to the effects of cold exposure to the human body. It has effects on both stress relief and also the (daily) release of all kinds of natural stuff like adrenaline and dopamine and stuff that is anti-inflammatory. This daily dosage is what will start the healing proces. There are hyped youtube videos about it but the is also good information. Just look through that. I know cold showers is a very hard sell. I actually started in spring this year were shower water was not that cold (15°C). Now it is around 5°C and i ,can understand that anyone will have a hard time keeping this up, without seeing quick results. In my case it took almost 30 day to see clear results. And now after 6 months my psoriasis went from +20% body covered to less than 2%. It is very acceptable. Only the scalp remains issue. Now more feeling the dry tearing skin, dropping scales all over at home and the workplace. Feeling frustrated. I hate taking the showers. Everyday is a challange. But it only takes 2 minutes to beat that. The reward is immense. Please share this information.

[@nhwnhw02]

I used to have psoriasis bad. It was a tough way to live. Nothing really worked except Taclonex. Taclonex was a cream that was criminally expensive. Then, my dermatologist was able to start using biologic injections. The change was so remarkable! I get a Stelara injection every 8 weeks. There are also other biologics that work equally well. Find a way to get lined up with one. There are programs that make the cost minimal. The change in your life will be indescribable. I got left with some hyperpegmentation, but I don't care. It is sll so much better than what I had!

I have issues with my Lymph Nodes and the testing hurts. It so much. I am getting another CT to be sure it isn't cancer. Those 8njections I get are biological. I noticed after my 2nd injection my skin is amazing. Few areas, like my feet, have not been with the program! BOL can't wait for my 3rd. It finally gave me hope. It is an injection every 2 months and in Canada we get free medical, and in some cases like me, on Disability I get covered for my meds. They are so expensive. It should be like this a Ross the board because I give thanks everyday. 😊

[@jujubeatz-mp1rw]

I had psoriasis for over 30 years covering 85% of my body. I took biological injections but they stopped working after a while and you have to take them for the rest of your life or it comes back even worse. Dermatologist don’t tell you is we have to treat the root of the problem which is to detoxify out all the toxins in our bodies. Biological Injections are just a band-aid covering up the underlying problem within our bodies. I suggest cut out gluten/wheat, sodas, alcohol, tobacco, sugar, junk food and to go on a whole fresh food plant based diet for 6 months and you will see psoriasis starting to disappear naturally. After 1 year I am completely healed of psoriasis and I also lost 20 pounds of excess body fat. It’s amazing how you can heal the body naturally with good nutrition 😁

I’ve got psoriasis and it usually flares up in winter. I thought the main reason was a lack of sunlight because when I would sun bath, in direct sunlight, it’d end up vanishing. But this year I’ve tried just taking tablets. Vit D tablets on their own don’t work. So I take them along with fish oil tablets, general vitmain, and one specific for hair, skin and nails. Seems to have stopped the psoriasis and actually put it into reverse. Also, it’s worth noting I’m Indian, hence why sunlight was an issue cause I live in Britain. Hopefully that helps others, maybe something worth trying. It should take about a month, just make sure to take them everyday.

My treatments were creans but didnt help and i had to tolerate the mental battle thru my school years. Without me noticing much it started to spread little by little throughout my body and now 17 years later my legs are full of it, my back and my front body. The psoriasis score was 32 which isnt as bad as her but its really mentally and physically draining having this condition. Every minute the itch is unbearable. My skin sheds are ridiculous and blood stains all over my clothes, sheets is annoying. I got charged by a motel for having blood stains on their sheet cuz it wont come off and those things i cant control when i sleep :(. I had to go thru 2 different treatment first before going to bio therapy. But the 2 treatments which are photo therapy and oral meds aren't effective. It lowers my score from 32 to 30 after 7 weeks of treatment which is well not working lol. So my first treatment will start in 2 weeks and im excited

There’s me feeling sorry for myself because of my skin conditions and then I see this poor lady. Thank god for Dr Emma. I’d love to know the name of the medication she was given to heal this. I only have odd patches on my skin it my scalp is absolutely covered and nothing works for me

[@janemacintyre9801]

I was on a trial for over 5 years for biologics and still am today 12 years later?. It's a miracle drug

[@michaelc.3812]

Im Nearly halfway sub and I’m hopping and praying for your recovery.

[@steveelkins52]

This shows incompetence in the medical profession, this poor woman has suffered needlessly. I do hope she takes action so others do not suffer.

[@seinfarage9959]

So happy she's recovering very well.... Love n prayers from Sénégal 😊

[@donnataylor5673]

Glad she’s on path to recovery

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

So happy she was able to get some relief!

[@lesleydodd1509]

Ahhh god love her! You look great Emily! Well done Dr Emma❤️

[@suesmith4289]

After I had a really bad bout of tonsilitis, a few weeks later was covered in tiny red spots everywhere which turned out to be psoriasis had it quite bad for six months, then suddenly it started to disappear it is a very complex skin disease, felt so sorry for Emily, but glad it is so much improved.

[@michael88keys66]

Dr Emma is so lovely.

[@Delaney.N]

I’ll never complain about my psoriasis again ! That poor woman ! 😭🙏🏻

[@MuddyPigg]

Why didn't her GP refer her to a dermatologist? I got referred when my psoriasis wasn't nearly as bad as hers. She could have been on meds that would have helped her years ago. Methotrexate, skilarence ect. I've tried every cream and lotion, only the pills have had any affect.

[@MuddyPigg]

@@patch93410 I only see my dermatologist once a year but I have an appointment with one of the nurses every 3 months, but that's mainly because of my blood and urine tests I have to do regularly. Since the meds can mess up your liver and kidneys.

[@MuddyPigg]

@@patch93410 I've been on that, you have to get weekly blood and urine tests for a couple of months and then monthly if your results are good. You take the pills once a week and folic acid for the rest of the week. It can give you a lot of stomach issues like diarrhea and gas. That's why they start you off with a low dose to try and minimise the gut issues. You can also get other drugs. I'm on Skilarence since Methotrexate kept messing up my liver enzymes. Methotrexate can be picked up at any pharmacy but mine I have to pick up at the hospital.

[@MuddyPigg]

@@patch93410 I'm about 90% clear. I've been plateaued for a while. I have developed new patches recently but I've been told that since the majority of it has cleared I should remain on it. For me methotrexate sucked. Since you take a bunch of pills in one go it can cause a bunch of bowel issues. Exhaustion, headaches ect. Skilarence just gave me hot flushes and I realised early on why they tell you to have it with food. It gives you a seriously upset stomach and diarrhea. It wakes you up from a dead sleep type of pain. It doesn't have to be a big meal, a sandwich is probably the smallest meal I've gotten away with, but don't drink a lot of water with it. You take Skilarence daily, I take the max, 2 pills 3x a day. It took a few months to get to that level.

@@patch93410 Basically she thinks going gluten free will cure psoriasis. Cyclosporine is another drug, however it has a few more side affects that can be dangerous. High blood pressure, possible kidney damage, increased risk of skin cancer.

[@cynthiastanley35]

I also have psoriasis but not near to the extent of Emily. But yes it has affected my life. It dictates what I can wear due to the scaly skin.

[@bbjjbb61]

I have something called dyshidrosis. It's super uncomfortable and looks really nasty up close. It's these little clear blister looking things that itch so bad it drives me crazy. It can form on fingers, palms, and the bottoms feet. Strangely, dipping my hands in apple cider vinegar when it starts it will start to dry out which causes skin cracking and bleeding. However, I suspect my condition is easier to deal with than psoriasis mainly because it's basically contained to the hands and sometimes feet. Most people don't notice my hands whereas psoriasis can be more painful and visible.

I have it too, drives me mad

Hello, I have had plaque psoriasis for 40 years now. Lower legs, core, underarms, ears, scalp. For a long time i had UV treatment every 2-3 years. But i maxed out on that. Only other thing which made it go away is taking daily cold showers and no more hot/warm water. Please take time and look in to the effects of cold exposure to the human body. It has effects on both stress relief and also the (daily) release of all kinds of natural stuff like adrenaline and dopamine and stuff that is anti-inflammatory. This daily dosage is what will start the healing proces. There are hyped youtube videos about it but the is also good information. Just look through that. I know cold showers is a very hard sell. I actually started in spring this year were shower water was not that cold (15°C). Now it is around 5°C and i ,can understand that anyone will have a hard time keeping this up, without seeing quick results. In my case it took almost 30 day to see clear results. And now after 6 months my psoriasis went from +20% body covered to less than 2%. It is very acceptable. Only the scalp remains issue. Now more feeling the dry tearing skin, dropping scales all over at home and the workplace. Feeling frustrated. I hate taking the showers. Everyday is a challange. But it only takes 2 minutes to beat that. The reward is immense. Please share this information.

[@cocochanelly5193]

😮 my god, I thought mine was bad! But I’m glad she found a solution! I would like to know what Exactly happened, what was the diagnosis?

[@carsandstuff365]

Not going to lie my father had it worse than that a few years ago .. he was hospitalised as it covered 95% or his body .. he was at St Andrews London .. they put him on the injection and it soon cleared .. it’s still present on him but nothing like it was .. his whole body looked like fish scales .. I’d never ever seen it so bad on him in 30 years

[@challetbyzhart8823]

RN here, I have seen worse. Hospitalized patient, psoriasis from head to toe, leaving skin flakes everywhere when moving a knuckle. Like 100% of his skin angry all the time…

[@brendawiley4967]

I am happy she is doing better.😀

[@ajporoznik3217]

I feel so happy for her. I'm curious to know what medications did they inject and will it ever come back?

[@marlenejones6266]

Oh my stars the pain she must be suffering. It has to be so hard to bear. I'm wo so sorry

[@kristinecollier8113]

I was like her, then finally the shots came out and I am still on the one that cleared me! They are not a cure cause if you go off, it comes back!!

Lieve mevrouw, wat een jeuk en pijn moet u gehad hebben ik heb ook psoriasis maar veel minder, zo fijn voor u dat de behandeling zo goed aanslaat . Gefeliciteerd met een dikke knuffel voor u

[@craigwoodgate7120]

I can only imagine how sad this makes her feel I get really dry skin on my knees like that and it’s so painful and embarrassing only I can see it but it makes me so self conscious. Seeing her crying because it makes her that upset it’s hard because I feel for her

[@loftyradish6972]

I just want to give her a hug.

[@cynicallemonade1792]

Why don't the gps send people like this to specialists? I thought the uk has health care? There seems like so many people just left back to deal with things themselves? And gps not sending them anywhere?

[@janeteckhart4886]

I'm so happy for her! Remarkable change!

[@CynthiaEleBezy]

My brother has a body like, hers. It's awful.

[@GazuLaiteo]

My uncle had this, it started when he was 18. It was so debilitating for him he never got to work again(he used to work for my grandfather) and take care of his 3 kids, his wife also passed away after their 3rd child was born so his other siblings had to adopt his children. His psoriasis was worse, he can barely walk and he was red all over, even his fingers crack. Also there is this rotting smell from him, you'll also see blood and plasma on his shirt. Sadly he died last 2017 without being properly treated.

[@marcelofranco9255]

My daughter had this condition for 12 years! Terrible torture since she wass 11. They don't say that when the Biological medicine in most cases can develop Liver Cancer. Not a word on the secondary effects. Some people has no problems but very low rate.
