New to PC, suffering and unable to see a doctor

[Fred]

besides stress... any reason for this anyone knows of? 

Unfortunately no one really knows, if we did we would know exactly how to stop it. I have found stress to be the biggest trigger, but also have had flare ups with hot and cold weather. Some say foods can effect it, but I'm not convinced and in my case I like my food to much to try.

 i've read if you experience rapid spreading of the psoriasis, you should go to the ER... and yes, i know it's taking a chance, but maybe they could at least start me on something that will actually help. i am miserable constantly because of it; before, it was bad, but not a constant awful painful hideous problem! it's not going to be difficult to show the emotion of how much it's bothering me, or the emotion of how much it bothers me that i cannot get my job to understand i need to see someone. at the VERY least, with a note from the hospital referring me to dermatology, they cannot argue with that especially if i show them my arms...

 

Erythrodermic Psoriasis and Generalised pustular psoriasis or von Zumbusch psoriasis is when you should get emergency treatment. You can read more of the different types here: Types Of Psoriasis Explained

I would suggest printing off a copy and filling in the DLQI here: Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

i did get coconut oil at Walgreens last night... didn't seem to do too much, but then again i only started using it last night.  does anyone know if the coconut oil supplements/vitamins help, or just the topical oil to moisturize?

The supplements will not help, and you need a good quality virgin coconut oil. You could try some Dexeryl Cream instead that may be better for you.
