Hello Jim and 
to Psoriasis Club.
Yes it is always a shock when you find out you have psoriasis, and even worse when you find out there is no cure. You will now start looking all over the place for something to get rid of it, but take my advise and don't fall for everything you hear on the internet. Unfortunately there are a huge amount of scams waiting for newly diagnosed people to part with their hard earned cash, but believe me your dermatologist is right "It is a life time commitment" it can however be managed but yes it's here to stay.
It will take time to find something that can help you live with it, but their is a lot of things being done today. I've not used Kenalog myself, maybe others will know more.
As for it being symmetrical. Most psoriasis is symmetrical see this thread: How symmetrical is your psoriasis?
Have a good read on the forum and just shout out, you will find us a friendly bunch.
Regards.
Fred.
