Hi John, Barbara (Peach) here. Have not sad hello to you for some time so Hi again. You can see I am feeling sorry for myself again. I think that it does help but not for a long time. One must have some control over it. How do you like that hydroxyvhloriquin? Wow! my fingernails that I have not had for over five years (due to the psoriatic arthritis) are growing back because of this medicine. Yes, I have tried many other ways to heal them with the doctors of course; but this medicine works. One less painful area on my body. Much love to all of us Peach (Barbara)
