Thanks but I actually clipped that off some other forum to give an idea of cost. I think one of my friends use that drug, though. Side effects are a huge concern with that drug.

He's a doc so he can weigh the pluses and minuses. If he doesn't take the drug, I believe he mentioned he has to worry about inflamation caused by the psoriasis eating at his heart muscle. Otherwise, the psoriasis is more a cosmetic issue. I guess that bothers him a bit, not me in the least. What was MLK great line, "don't judge a man by flaking of his skin but the content of his character."

Taking the drug hits the other organs hard so he does have to monitor stuff like his kidneys and liver.

Hia insurance for a family of 4 is $18k to $20k per year. Argggggh.

Thanks. I have bad flaky skin... probably psoriasis, I'll probably never see a doctor about it
