At the hospital getting xrayed and giving blood samples. There are a few of us here for the same treatment. One guy has a shaved head and is wearing a tshirt. Not a mark on him. If my psoriasis was as minimal as his I'd be fucking delighted. I'm sitting here with ared raw face with skin falling off me every time I move. How dare he. That's all I can say. The nerve of the guy.

Turns out they were getting the meds for just arthritis. I'm special I have arthritis and psoriasis. The toilets in the main part of the hospital are "Boys" and "Girls" which I thought was a little odd.

Second dose, so it's early days. I think there's an improvement but I might be imagining things. They say I should see affects in about 10 weeks. I have to come up with strategy to allow for this nausea. Take it at night and have a sick , sleepless night or take in the morning and feel like shit at work all day. I gave up on previous meds because they made me sick but this is the last chance so I have to stick with it.

Are they telling you to knock off the booze or gluten or anything else?

I really hope this comes good for you

No. This is a "biologic" and doesn't have the adverse affects of chemicals. I'm not convinced by the gluten and diet stuff. My consultant is a huge fan of these biologics, my GP not so much.

And cheers brah, I have high hopes.

You probably know this, but ginger and/or peppermint are great for nausea. The tea bag versions are the handiest - in a big mug of boiling water.

It's grand once you get used to it and convince yourself that it's not supposed to be a treat (like tea!).
