I am presently on Taclonex which my copy is $75. It doens't seem to be helping. I have tried Dovonex, Clobetasol, Soriataine and nothing seems to help. My main problem is my scalp. What do you all use? I know they have some miracle drugs out there but they can cause neurological problems. My feeling right now is that if they cause it, so what, I already have it. Would it make my MS significantly worse? Has anyone tried laser therapy?

bumpity bump!

I have plantar palmar pustural psoriasis, so things may be different, it's harder to treat. I've been through the battery of trying this and that, which didn't work. The only thing I found to help was when I was on hormone replacement, it totally went away, and has never been as bad since. (it's been ten years since I stopped the hormones).

For what it's worth.

bumping back up for you!

Betamethasone Dipropionate seems to be keeping my Psoriasis in check. I, like you, have tried EVERYTHING to no avail. Doc gave me this cream and the Pso. I had on my foot is gone. It's still on the palms of my hands, but not as bad.

Ask Your Doc about it, Doydie. Who knows, it may work for you, too.

I have it very mildly on my scalp. And I have signs of it on my ankles and around my knees. The scalp gets a little itchy some times but it I leave it alone it seems to be OK.

Mine seems to come and go and I don't use any medication. I try to get plenty of rest and to eat well.

My mother had it worse than I and I wonder if it is not hereditary. Hope you find something that works for you . I realise that medication is sometimes necessary.

The last time I saw the dermatologist I asked him what reatments were available besides medicine. That's when he told me that they do use the laser therapy but he didn't tell me anything about it. I told him that since the lesions are where it doesn't show, I'm not a vain person and it doesn't matter. Well it's now on my ankles, behind my knees and below, all over and I mean all over my scalp, bad lesion on my low back and areas on my back that I can't reach to put medicine on. The worst now is in my genitalia area, front, back and in between! Yuck and I don't want him to look at it. So it needs taken care of.

Here is a link to an article talking about how the Mayo Clinic has new information about treating psoriasis on its website. Maybe it will help you.

Thank for the web site. You can find almost anything there.

Well I asked my neuro today about what would happen to my MS if I did take one of those new drugs. She looked it up in the PDR and saw how it reacted on the cellular level and said it would not be good for someone With MS. So, back to the drawing board.
