Patient experiences of medications

[David1962]

Hi,
Has anyone taken Glucosamine/Chondroitin tablets and noticed any difference in their psoriasis? I've been taking them for 5 weeks as I had a knee injury but after 2 weeks the plaques on my arms got considerably better and have almost gone after 5. I'm not sure why, but the only stuff I've been taking is these.
Would be interested to know. My doc said the tablets are harmless, so i miay take them regularly even tho the knee is better.

Hi Dave

I took Glucosamine last year and they worked Great put sometimes would forget to take them. When i was on them i had to go to hospital for reguler blood checks, I also had diahrea (cant spell) from the tablets. If your getting blood checks done i think there harmless id defently say this to your doctor,

Honestly, I think some meds, even though they shouldnt do a thing for our psoriasis, sometimes do.  Unexplainable, but sometimes it happens.  Keeping your doctor informed is a really good thing and as they have given their okay, keep taking it and hopefully it will stay that way.

I was on an antibiotic for something that showed up in my blood work, 2 days after starting the course, my psoriasis disappeared, you couldnt even tell I had had it and I have severe pustular psoriasis.  I went to my GP and my derm and both of them freaked out.  It didnt last though, but I got about a week's respite which was pretty cool.

The body is an amazing thing.

Unfortunately not many GP's have done Dermatology courses and they are not upto date with the whys and wherefores of dermo pills and potions, if you can not get the info you need from  your GP, try the web or your dispensing Pharmacist as they are usually up to date, also read the info slips that comes with the ointments. knowing your skin well helps as if it is getting to thin stop your creams and use moisturisers untill you can see some one your Dermatologist or even one of the Nursing Staff on the Dermatology ward at your Hosp will be able to help and give advice.

Great info! But to share my own personal experience, and from what I've learned from my Dad before he died 2 years ago, don't take any medications or self-medicate EVERY TIME you experience a certain pain.  If you can tolerate the pain, don't take any.  From my experience, it makes our body immune to whatever future medications that we have to take, especially if it's required by our Doctor.

Guys haven't you tried Proflavanol yet? It works really good in minimizing psoriatic symptoms. It is most apparent of course in improving skin condition. The good thing about Proflavanol is that it has no adverse or side effects as it is made of super high antioxidant proanthocyanidins and bioflavanoids and additional 4 types of vit C to boost the immune system, one of which is the Zink ascorbate and 3 other more. I got some pictures of my friend who tried it first and got remarkable results. Dr. Bernard, Nutrition Specialist from St. Lukes prescribed it to her. God, it is really effective! Thank God the product does work. I am happy to share this to you guys as an advocate of Health.

Guys, the bottom line is this, the appearance of psoriatic symptoms likewise it's severity has something to do with the level of your immune system. Once your immune system weakens, chances are, symptoms will definitely get worse and apparent skin desquamations may take place. So, you have to strengthen first your immune system by taking pharma-grade anti-oxidants. That will surely help you get rid or if not minimize the symptoms and eventually improves skin and over all condition.
