plaque psoriasis
"Went on starter pack of Otezla.  Am on second week now and hands are again horrible, swelling splitting open and bleeding on almost every finger and one palm.  Have it on feet also but not nearly as bad.

I am trying to hang on to see if it will turn around.  I did have headache and diarrhea last week, eating more before taking it.  I am back on tapering dose of Prednisone to help with the horrible symptoms.  Trying to last a month with Otezla to see if it will, in fact, work for me, but trying to go on trips or be seen out and about is not easy when everyone focuses on your hands and their leprosy-like appearance.  Luckily my work friends are very supportive, even bringing in lotions they made and holistic medicines for me."
