How to know when it is time to switch treatments?

I am on my second biologic medication. The first one gave me some dramatic (to me, anyways) improvement in my condition, but the progress halted, so my derm put me on a new one. This current one has lasted me about a year now, but patches are making a big comeback on my legs and this week my scalp exploded with weeping patches. For those of you who have failed treatments--when did you finally get to the point of knowing it was time to move on?

  1. Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative meds? I have read many articles about medical marijuana and how it can help you in terms of chronic pain, bone injuries, eating disorder/anorexia, anxiety disorders and panic attacks, inflammation, even cancer and a lot more. Like this article about a marijuana strain from:http://www.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/sour-power/ . Cbd and thc are also new to me and I don't even smoke. If this is true I cant find any solid conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks
