Hey everyone! I've been on a deep dive into understanding the immune system, particularly in relation to psoriasis. Consolidating information like this really helps me grasp it better. While there's a wealth of knowledge out there, I've highlighted both natural and conventional methods that I've per
Hi all, have had worsening psoriasis and PsA since 2014 and finally today my dermatologist saw me and has put me forward for Adalimumab! I am so happy to finally get approved for a biologic. Fingers crossed it will be the treatment that finally works for me!
Started Skyrizi on Sunday and things are changing. As the old adage goes "Changeable, Curable" I've had one small area of persistent psoriasis clear completely - I'd given it a friction burn from rubbing through clothes on Saturday. On Monday it was red and sore. Tuesday it had dried. Wednesday it p
I’m 23M with psoriasis. I’ve used methotrexate before, then Apremilast for 6 months (stopped working). Now my doctor wants to put me on Tofacitinib, but also asked me to check with insurance about biologics. Shes recommending Ixekizumab (Taltz), but it’s super expensive (₹3–4.5 lakh first year, then

It's amazing how many people suddenly have Rheumatoid Arthritis! Upon receipt of all Plaquenil scripts, I am verifying with the prescriber an on-label indication. I am informing prescriber and patient that if this is fraudulent, I will file a Board of Medicine complaint against the prescriber, and t
Raised. EDIT:🙋♂️✋🤚🙌
Going to be a lot of these in the coming days I'm sure. You know what's really galling about hydroxychloroquine being on back order? The thing that really makes me angry? Not a single prescriber that has called me (and they ask for me specifically) has called asking if we have the drug for their pat
Is anybody else in the retail world starting to see a suspiciously high number of Ivermectin scripts all of a sudden?? Is this the next Hydroxychloroquine of 2020?
Had a doctor call in #180 for their entire family. He’s an eye doctor and it is clearly outside of his scope of practice. I’m an intern and none of my pharmacists know how to report it.
