My partner Rosie had good results a few years ago, but last time she tried it, the results were not so good.  Trouble also with PUVA is there's only a certain ammount you can have.  Lets hope this lot of tretment will work for you.

as Peter said, i had PUVA when i was 17 ( quite a few yrs ago now!  Roll) and had great results! I was clear for about 18 months before a few patches came back. I was covered in psoriasis so it was very intensive treatment for 6 weeks. Then about 5 yrs ago, i had another blast of it but sadly it didnt have the same effect.

I would recommend PUVA to anyone who has tried just about everything else. One thing that did me in tho was the psoralen, made me feel sick! and i hated the smell after a blasting, like BBQ'd meat!! But as they say ' no pain no gain' and it really is worth trying if all other avenues have been exhausted.

Good luck starshine with your treatment!  :Yay:

i have some experience with puva.
first time (5 years ago) it helped me to clear my eczema away for almost 2 years.
last time a year ago it didnt help at all.
today is my second day of puva therapy this year, hopefully itll work out for me.
for now, it just brings memoris, my skin smells of it again Cheesy
