Patient success stories: Dale

Real patients. Real results.

Dale has been a contractor for years, but now he has a new job - talking about his psoriasis. He was officially diagnosed with psoriasis at age 20, but first saw signs of it at age 13, and it was tough. Now his skin looks "like everybody else's." And, since taking RAPTIVA, Dale has taken it upon himself to spread the word.

"Nobody with psoriasis should have to grow up and feel the things I felt as a child, the embarrassment...the pain. It's kind of my job now to make sure it doesn't happen."

Candy, Dale's wife of 23 years, laughs when she speaks about Dale's new attitude toward psoriasis treatment. "RAPTIVA actually gave him the confidence to go out into the world and...like he said...he would actually approach people who he knew that had psoriasis and would spread the word about RAPTIVA. I mean everybody! I have a couple of co-workers who have psoriasis and my husband is preaching to them that they need to go and find a dermatologist and ask about RAPTIVA."

It may seem odd to some people, but RAPTIVA gives Dale something to look forward to: his weekly injection. "I take my injection of RAPTIVA every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. And the best part of it is, I don't need to worry about taking RAPTIVA for the rest of the week."

So look out-if you are in the Indiana area, you may just run into Dale. When he sees psoriasis, he gets to work. "I know what either they're going through, or what they're going to go through. I remember my first little lesion when I was 13. I remember the day I saw it. It totally ruined my life. And I just try to start conversations to tell them that there is help. I can't shout about RAPTIVA enough!"
