I gave in to the pain today. I could no longer bear to walk or put on shoes. Called the dermatologists got a appt. Of course she came in a looked and shook her head, but this time I had a copy of all the cream/lotions she had given me before (that did not work) also listed everything had been doing oatmeal soak, cream, lotions etc. She told me I had very angry feet ( I paid her for that diagnosis) could have told her that. So, the story goes prescribes more lotion........ She did ask how the Humria was working, well it's NOT, after a injection I get an off the wall infection, fell like crap, headaches etc.. So she decided maybe I needed to see my rheumatologist. I was scheduled for later this month, but she made a call and got me in at 11:00 tomorrow. All this after I told her I just finished a antibiotic. Let me guess tomorrow: blood work, x rays etc. really can't give you anything until you are off the antibiotic for seven day and infection is clear. Sorry to go on and on, but I just needed to get it off my chest.

PS Think I need to find another dermatologist!!!

Hi Karen,
Welcome!! Glad you found us. Well let's start with the psoriasis it's hard to find anything that works well i.e. prescription creams, or over the counter. I have taken Benadryl for the itching the liquid seems to work better than pills, also and I know this sounds crazy but Vick's vapor rub mixed with a moisturizer cream helps also. Now, for the joint pain sounds like psoriatic arthritis which I also have. I am so sorry about the jobs. I know there are program through the drug companies that will help you with the cost, I am on Remicade and have insurance and the have rebate program that helps, so if you need to explore those options keep that in mind. Please keep in mind that you are not alone, this site is great for asking questions or just letting off some steam to people who truly understand what you are going through.

Take Care,
Patsy
