Treatments

Asacol Somewhat Helpful

It seems to keep the symptoms calm, though is little user when a flare occurs.

Prednisone Somewhat Helpful

Foam delivery - used during a flare, it usually takes around 2 weeks to settle.

Close Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Joints

Diagnosed psoriatic arthritis, with symptoms on both skin and joints...

Treatments

Betamethasone (Topical) Working / Worked

Scalp application - usually very effective during a flare.

Methotrexate Working / Worked

Is keeping the skin manifestations largely at bay, though a flare of colitis causes the scalp to break out), and has lessened the joint pain considerably, though after upping the folic acid dosage while the blood test levelled out, the pain isn't dampened as much after returning the folic acid to the prior level (5mg weekly).
