Patient success stories: Penny

Real patients. Real results.

Penny's laundry list of psoriasis medications was longer than most, but she never lost hope of finding the right treatment. "I'll bet I've gone through 10 different products that have worked for some psoriatic patients, but they didn't work for me."

Penny's doctor knew that what she needed was something different to control her psoriasis. "I started thinking, well, I'll just have psoriasis for the rest of my life. And [the doctor] goes, 'Penny, you're going to love this. The medicine I told you about has been approved!' She said, 'We're going to get you on it right away.' And I did - I started in January of 2004, and by February, I could really see I was clearing."

"This product [RAPTIVA] was made only for psoriasis, which really helped me, because I tried everything made for everything else. It only fights the psoriasis. And it'll never cure me, but it'll clear me. And it's keeping me clearer."

When she first started to see results, Penny was so excited that she called Genentech, the makers of RAPTIVA. "They told me about Clearly You^SM. Which is exactly how I feel. I'm clear." So Penny joined the program. And she's glad she did. "Clearly You^SM is a program that supports your clearness. If you're worried, if you're having a bad day, if you're having a fear that it might come back because something stressful has happened to you, they're there to support you. They will speak with you about it."
