Lightbulb I think Alan's case

is different because of his autoimmune issues.

Using the IVIG now may be tempering his psoriasis.

My husband flares and remits. I don't think his case is as severe or so autoimmune as Alan's.

My husband often gets redness only, and only the severe scaling every so often. The elbow, the doctor said was terrible, so if that is resolving so well, he won't need more drastic measures. We are still watching the strange lesion on his ear --and that worries me. It is hard to tell psoriasis from skin cancer. (basal type) He goes back in Oct/Nov for a recheck.
