Completely covered...will UVB help?

[sharonamy]

Hi, I am more or less covered in psoriasis. It starts as guttate and then joins forming large plaques. I'm about to start UVB treatment for the first time and wondered what the success rates are?

I would say lots of good results

I'm currently having some treatment, It works well for me

Hi Sharon,,

Good grief. That is the 64,000 dollar question.

Because we are all different and therefore treatments react differently. Hopefully you will, as I did after my first series of treatment, get remission for many months. But I don't think that there are any guarantees!

Let us know how you get on.

Regards

it has worked well for me in the past but the remission was short.
definetly worth a try tho.

I've found if you take natural sunlight well, you generally get on better with UVB than others that don't, but, that's not to say that's not the actual case!

I had a course of UVB for guttate some time ago, and it worked wonders for me!

I'm just about to finish a course of UVB for plaques and i'm pretty much clear!

Really hope it works well for you!

I had UVB for a while.  I found I had to go at least 4 times a week just to keep it under control.  I am now using a patch found on Link removed by Moderator  My wife is into natural remedies and bought the y-age glutathione patches and I thought I would give it a try.  it is the best  thing I have ever used. There are different patches for different things. Since this has glutathione it helps my skin.  I use a patch every other day and my P is clearing up more and more everyday. You should give it a try. No presscription needed.  Doctors will not tell you about this. regards.

ive had uvb at hospital about 4=5 times - only 1 occasion did my elbows not wanna budge - i now find eating healthily the uvb treatment is 100% success - and for me total clearance is when i get close to that 5 min mark..  i have posted before but i found that using hydromol ointmemt in a sock & using that on each shower bath - for winter now i have like 0.5 psoriasis and i can only say this hydromol is helping.. o have got a uvb lamp for my elbows though as this seems to be the plave the p wants to come back to 1st..

the only light treatment i have found to be any good was PUVA by the time i got to 8 weeks of treatment was very clear

UVA on its own was not as good
or UVB even narrow band UVB TLO1

But we all react different to light hope it helps you 

and most of all the good old Sunshine when you can get it has every ray that will help
