About the Author
Dave W. (me) is just a guy with psoriasis and an almost insatiable need for
information. I was officially diagnosed with psoriasis in May of 1997. Prior to getting a
doctor's appointment, I had an inkling of what I had, so I walked into my doctor's office
armed with a three-ring binder full of information I had printed off the Internet. My GP
said, upon seeing the binder, "You probably know more about psoriasis than I do," and
promptly wrote me a referral to a dermatologist. The dermatologist was quite interested
in the binder, and flipped through it for a while. He found a chart of drugs in there, and
circled the ones he was giving me.
I lurked on the Newsgroup for a little while in
'97, and from what I recall of that time, it was right in the middle of the huge Skin-Cap
'debates'. I poked my head back in a couple of times over the next two years, and decided
to become active in the group and delurk in January of 1999. I don't think I went three
days without at least reading the posts there, up until January of 2004.
Is that stuff FDA approved?
