Q. What are some good non-prescription lotions for psoriasis

A. Topical (skin applied) medications include topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogue creams (Dovonex), topical retinoids (Tazorac), moisturizers, topical immunomodulators (tacrolimus and pimecrolimus), coal tar, anthralin, and others. Topical corticosteroids (steroids, such as hydrocortisone) are very useful and often the first-line treatment for limited or small areas of psoriasis. These come in many preparations, including sprays, liquid, creams, gels, ointments, and mousses. Steroids come in many different strengths, including stronger ones are used for elbows, knees, and tougher skin areas and milder ones for areas like the face, underarms, and groin. These are usually applied once or twice a day to affected skin areas. For the complete list:http://www.medicinenet.com/psoriasis/page5.htm

Q. question about frobmyagia what meds can i take over the counter i can take for the pain sometimes its hard to tell the chest pain from the fromyagia pain. i hurt so bad.

A. To me the chest pain sounds if it is anixety pain unless you have a heart condition. I would be careful of over the counter meds with chest pains. I have taken OTC type meds like tylenol for arthritis and they help a little. Nothing worked well for me that was OTC but a friend of mine said aleve helped her. I take tramadol but that isn't Otc. The horrible thing to me about Fibro is everything hurts...I sometimes wonder if ther eis any releive! Good Luck!

Q. Does anyone know an over the counter alternative to Lovaza, omega-3 acid ethyl esters? too expensive at Dr

A. there are all sort of companies that sell Omega-3, i buy from a company named Alsepa, but there are dozens of companies. but don't be tempted to buy a very cheap one, because they can be less purified.
