Thank you all for the replies, Turnedlight, Kat, Raxyl, Caroline, jiml, Fred, I very much appreciate it!
What do you all do to control psoriasis? I'll do more reading on the forum here but just curious, do most people use and have success with biologics? Ive just always been against big medicine and very skeptical but im starting to feel more like seriously considering it. I don't want to give up on a natural solution but its gotten difficult, im already very strict and disciplined and have been for years now. Im not sure I want to start trying really obscure diets, cleanses and treatments honestly.
Don't know other people with psoriasis, it was always pretty mild until it got severe and it just makes me wonder what its like for others who suffer. How psoriasis progressed or regressed for them and just generally their experiences.
There are times when I feel like I understand psoriasis but mostly I dont, lol. Its just a strange thing. Is it mostly genetic in terms of how it manifests and the severity? How much of an influence is environment, diet, exposure to chemicals/irritants/other factors.
I know I always had sensitive skin. Ive had what I now know was psoriasis, at many times growing up but it cleared up with cream or vaseline or change of season. Thinking back it started as it has become now, after i had pneumonia and went through 2 or 3 weeks of antibiotics when I was 18. Shortly after then is when I noticed it on my elbows. Makes me wonder if its a gut thing like you see many naturpath people claim. Or if its a genetic thing and gut and immune issues at one point triggered it.
