Sunny Days Difficult for People with Psoriasis

Hi Everybody,

It was such a beautiful weekend here in London, and it really brought home to me the pain of psoriasis sufferers during the summer months. When everybody else is stripping down to their bareyl-there outfits, having psoriasis becomes that much more traumatic.

It is a shame that more people can't get access to treatemnt they need. In the US, unless you have a gold-plated insurance program, Enbrel or Stelara are great, but very expensive options. I hear from so many people who are struggling under the weight of their Enbrel co-pays (one lady wrote she was paying $500/month and it was nearly bankrupting her).

In the UK, the National Health Service will only pay for Enbrel or Humira if someone has very severe psoriasis, has had courses of methotrexate, steroids, NSAIDs, etc, all of which have to have failed to work. Methotrexate works for a lot of people, but the long term damage to your liver is nothing to cheer about.

I hope that Tinefcon can help some of these people. We are working every day to try and get our message out, but its not easy. So much (healthy) skepticism greets new treatments, even one such as ours which has been validated by the American Academy of Dermatology. I hope that our consistency and personal presence (hey--I've got my picture on the company website), will convince people over time that Tinefcon is a real option for treating their psoriasis.
