I have had PUVA treatment but having a fair skin, even though it was done
under strict control, I got sunburn on my feet.

Saw my consultant last week and having gone through the main imune
suppressants with no real improvment ( apart from ciclosporin which made me
so ill I had to stop, Under my request we have decided that I am going to go
treatment free for a while to see what happens.

I am in the UK so can’t get some of your recommendations under the names you
quote - they may be under other nams here.

It is non-tanning, and was done under strict control. I think I had a course
of
15 treatments, starting with 30 seconds and gradually increasing in duration.
Afterwards, I had to moisturise the skin well. The technician told me that,
generally speaking, no more than a total of 150 treatments are done in a
life-time.

I’m happy to say that, after a life-time of severe psoriasis covering most of
my
body and all of my scalp, I am now virtually clear. I practise EFT, use
coconut
oil on my scalp for an hour before I shampoo and have cut out tomatoes,

peppers, chocolate, sugar, coffee and fizzy drinks. I now have the (very)
occasional pizza,
decaf coffee and Coca-Cola. (Previously I had tomatoes, Coca Cola, sugar and
regular coffee every day)

All the best

I’m not really sure what the UVB treatment really does. My guess is
that because of the controlled doses of UVB exposure, your skin moves
into a comfort zone level, where they push the envelope as far as they
can until they reach the mild arithemea (sp?) dose, which, in laymans
terms, is when you get a sunburn. After which, they would keep you at
the same dosage.

Everything I have said is from pure observation and short discussion
with a doctor and/or a technician. I am not a doctor, nor a light
therapy technician, but I have gone to light therapy treatments
multiple times. I hope someone who has undergone treatment can help
me back up some of the statements I have made, or refute them so that
better information can be had.

Good luck everyone, the sooner you find out what causes it for you,
the sooner you can find relief.
