"...............A new drug called Stelara, just sanctioned for use by the
Government's drugs spending watchdog the National Institute of Health and
Clinical Excellence (NICE), has almost completely cleared her skin for the
first time since she was a child....................." etc.

It will cost �10,000 to our NHS apparently so I expect I will still be kept
on the UVB!

I'd want to wait a few months at least in any case, let someone else
be Batman, Raptiva didn't work out so well, Amevive didn't work out so
well, and even Enbrel has more risks recognized now then before.

... and I'm still hoping that *someday* a cocktail of Stelara and
Enbrel, each in smaller doses, will become the most common kind of
treatment for severe psoriasis. May be twenty years out, after both
have generic versions from the same manufacturers, have to go through
an entire round of testing or be off-label usage, ... and may include
other generics like methotrexate.

JRSTtern,

What?

You want to eat some biological low dose nonsense?

Give me a break.

YOu say there must be a DNA component and then fizzle out,
and give credence to a low dose bio ill logical?

You can come up with a DRUG for any stage of the
Th1---Th17 pathway and never cure the problem.
(aka -- causation)

What moon of uranas are you on?

Let me guess:

LOL...

Good luck...

I'll try to read your last post and react in some fashion
that you'll appreciate as a psoriatic?

Though, i'm not sure you'll recognice the import now. LOL
