I saw on extreme makeover (USA) a lady receive injections to help with her psoriasis. She only had some on her belly and within a week of injecting herself, the psoriasis had cleared up. Now I didnt see all of the program but I am pretty sure she had to inject herself twice a week? Anyone know what its call and if it availbe in the uk?any side effects?. I am a long time sufferer and it gets worse with worry/stress.

I had a 13 year history of psoriasis, though I was in good health otherwise. But these severe large, thick and scaly excoriated plaques on my neck, ears, trunk and limbs ruined the way I was leading my life. I would be with red, inflamed itchy skin for most part of the year and these silvery scales would seem to be erupting without any reason. To make matters worse, blisters would appear over already red and itching skin. It was living hell.
I was treated with various options but nothing seemed to be working. Some of the treatments that I underwent in this depressing period of 13 years included tar preparation, tropical steroids and anthralin. I was also given light therapy many times but everything I tried would give me temporary relief.
And soon, after a few days I would be plagued with the situation again. In one of those moments when I was completely lost I stumbled upon this website just by chance. I read it and felt that as if someone had put the story my life on this web page. I was thoroughly convinced that if ANYONE can cure me of condition, it would be you.
And was I right, or what. I started recovering within 3 days of starting this treatment. Something that had become a painful part of me for 13 years was actually getting healed! My ears are healed and my neck is smooth again!. I am a month into the treatment and I have never felt better in my life!

My father was long term sufferer and just lived with it for most of his life. Eventually he went through numerous creams etc to ease it - most didn't work, those that did stopped being as effective with use. My cousin qualifed as a homeopath and convinced my very sceptical dad to let her treat him. He was 52 at the time and had itched everyday of his life. He's now 74 and it's totally under control without skin thinning creams or injections! If you haven't tried it - seek out a homeopath to talk to.
Good Luck whatever you do.
