I've been telling my doctors that all along, the skin is just the outside evidence of a problem inside the body. Of course they don't know what to do, other than treat the symptoms.
For the past several years I have been participating in a study by Psolar in which participants are tracked every 6 months for 8 years.
They ask a barrage of physical and mental health-related questions as well a do a physical examination (height, weight, blood pressure, etc) each 6 month appointment. Their stated purpose is to try to statistically relate certain conditions/states of mind/health status to the severity of psoriasis.
It's an interesting concept, I'm not sure exactly how helpful it really will be in the end. But I'm glad to join any study if it will help someone get relief!
