Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Ok, what is this med? Also, do you use a tanning bed, or do you go to the Dr. for treatment?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 when I used soriatane, it was taken in conjunction with PUVA light treatments 3 times a week. I don't like the meds and quit after a month. One it made me nausious, and two you have to wear goggles afterwards for quite a while (forget the time you have to do this) and my eyes are still sensitive to the light. Yes it worked, but no thanks... - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Soriatane is definitely a med...a powerful one. It shouldn't ever be taken by anyone who might ever get pregnant [at least not within three years of discontinuing med], it's potent enough, quite literally, to curl your hair. I've been off for about a year and still have some curl when I was string straight. It also causes incredibly dry mouth and other discomforts. You also need to have blood tests to make sure your liver enzymes are ok...It did really clear up my nails, but not my skin. I had to quit because of the liver thing. Also 50 mgs. is a pretty strong dosage. t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 I had my lil one appx 4 yrs after stopping it.... and he was born with hypospaedia (sp?) which is a dual urinary tract. I always wonder if possibly that is what caused it... but decided along time ago to not blame myself and be grateful he is as healthy as he is!!!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 - 30 minute tanning bed for 5 min each time 2-3 times a week prescribed by the doc. He said that the tanning bed in moderation will be more effective in overall body light therapy than in office light tx. Soriatane is a cousin to Acitane (used to treat severe acne) Cant get pregnant or give blood for 3 yrs after end of tx. Must be pretty power ful stuff. -- In , pookiegut@a... wrote: > Ok, what is this med? > > Also, do you use a tanning bed, or do you go to the Dr. for treatment? > > > > In a message dated 2/21/2003 9:23:06 PM Eastern Standard Time, teresah24@h... writes: > > > Soriatane dosage to > > 50mg (2 capsules) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I'm sure he's beautiful, and you followed the doctor's and pharm. co.'s advise. So like you said, " Enjoy!!!!! Your wonderful boy. " We lost a granddaughter to CF and that's a guilt trip because both parents have to have the gene to pass it on...so we wonder who???? But although her time was limited to only 5 years, she was an angel and had such strength. So I guess we were blessed. That was 10 years ago & still seems so fresh. So please don't dwell. Just love. Enough from me. Bye. Boyd <celticangyl@...> wrote:I had my lil one appx 4 yrs after stopping it.... and he was born with hypospaedia (sp?) which is a dual urinary tract.
