Estrellita,

You're Welcome! I manage the psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis support group
here in Dallas/Fort Worth. We have a web site at www.dfwpsoriasis.org. Under
the Resources page on our web site we have information that may be helpful to
you. Our meeting minutes stored on that page list some of the experiences of
people on biologics. There are also a lot of links to psoriasis related sites.
The group is still relatively new, but we keep adding data to the site all the
time. Hope it helps.

David
