Alright so im back. Ive been using the PUVA lamps for 7 months now, x2 per week. Anyone think this is quite a long treatment period ?
Pretty much 95% clear.. only 3-4 small patches on backs of shoulders to clear! Also lost another 12lbs!
The PUVA machine at my hospital clinic has been out of action for a week now... Ive missed 4 treatments (last treatment at 10 minutes in the booth) Today im starting to get really bad flareup/rebound.. After only missing 4 treatments! Last night I noticed two small pimples on my forearm.... a small pimple on my stomach and another two on my chest, This morning they had turned from pimples/regular spots to the begining of psoriasis plaques! albeit half the size of a green pea.. Also scalp has never been this itchy/flared/scabby before.. along with public bone area..
I honestly cannot go back to the way I used to be... I was so depressed, hated life and spent far to much time hiding away, suffering social anxiety and really struggling with confidence. With the progression of the P last night / today again even though its only small has mentally sunk me and ive not felt this miserable for a long time.. Im pretty down in the dumps and litterally cannot think happy thoughts.. and feel like a cry.. Oh dear.
Has anyone used sunbeds weekly after having PUVA treatment stopped to continue the clearing of P ? Thinking of this as an option for once my treatment stops, Hopefuly Ill be back this friday to continue.
