Light Therapy

Posted Wed 27 Feb 2013 17.55 by Pollai
The fact that it is quite severe means that I've become quite anti-social. I can't even talk to people anymore.

Hey guys, My name is Mike and I am going to start light therapy in about two weeks. I am really looking forward to it as my condition is quite severe at the moment, I can barely use my hands! My question to you guys, if you've had this treatment of course is how long until you start seeing and feeling a difference? Is it comfortable staying in there standing for 15 minutes? Lastly, I was advised to buy a black jockstrap to wear during treatment to protect my genitals, I've been looking online and most of them look vular - I don't want to go in there looking silly lol, can any of you point me to somewhere I can get decent ones? Thank you!

I have had reasonably severe full-body psoriasis for 11 years.

Hi Mike, I've had a 3 month dose of light treatment and found the whole thing fine, no complaints! I wore a sock over my downstairs, more comfortable I found. Only downside I found to the treatment was that a couple of months after my treatment ended my psoriasis came back worse than it was before, but everyone's different! I know other who have basically been cured. Hope everything goes great.
