plaque psoriasis
"I've had psoriasis for 40+ years. I've tried many remedies: tar baths, tar ointments (peee...eeww), various steroids, phototherapy, methotrexate, the works.  Some offered relief, albeit temporarily. The steroids were effective but tough on skin thickness and couldn't be used long.  About 8 years ago my Doctor convinced my insurance to cover this new drug called Enbrel Enteracept. Since then my life has changed dramatically. No more plaques anywhere... not on scalp, elbows, knees, arms or legs. I do have a remnant guttate form that waxes and wanes, but it is manageable with OTC creams.  No other side effects and I'm finally very comfortable in shorts and tees."
