Personal anecdote

There was a comment under the See Also section which was a personal anecdote about someone's treatment with PUVA and a personal recommendation for minimising nausea. This was followed by "Source: me, after decades of suffering". This is obviously not the sort of thing that's appropriate for a WP article, so I've removed it. 82.10.75.117 (talk) 15:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Help please!

I added that PUVA is also used to treat Graft-versus-host disease, but do not know how to add a reference. I found the following article on the internet at nature.com, january, 1999, volume 23, number 2, pages 151-155 ; www.nature.com/bmt/journal/v23/n2/abs/1701537a.html , thanks tony.barban@att.net —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.113.244.66 (talk) 13:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Liver damage limits use

UVA radiation says "Due to the potential of psoralens to cause damage to the liver, PUVA may be used only a limited number of times over a patient's lifetime." but it's not mentioned here but perhaps should be if a good source can be found. - Rod57 (talk) 01:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
