a girl friend of mine was recently diagnosed after years of being treated with psoriasis ,as it seemed to be and would respond to only temporarily , any ways we have investigated and the prognosis seems very unclear to me as she was staged 3 and 4 on different parts of her body , and even 1 and 2 on others ... she is currently in east greenbush for treatment they said in about two weeks she should see a difference and there hasnt been. I am quite concerned for her health , the other option for her is to go to yale university , do they treat or use you for studies is my question ,I dont want her to be a guinea pig.!

I had one pt with ctcl...horrible disease. he was treated at yale with reasonably decent results. tell your friend to enroll in clinical trials, probably her best bet.

Thank you to all who posted.

Unfortunately, as jnette said, medical advice is beyond the scope of our practice as nurses, and while we wish the OP's friend a swift and easy recovery, we cannot provide the assistance she is seeking.

Closing thread now.
