New here Wintrman

[Caroline]

Thank you Caroline. I have plaque psoriasis covering about 60% of my arms. I have plaque covering about 30% of my navel. Mild plaque on my chest. Plaque in many areas of my back. And of course, plaque on my knees. I have an appointment in about 10 days with a specialist. I am hoping I can come away with a new treatment plan. I have plaque on my head, in my ears, on my eyelids. I am feeling a bit desperate and have been depressed about this for quite some time because of the way view me and sometimes the way they treat me.

So here I am. Looking for treatments, ideas and a little hope. I had read that gluten has a negative effect on psoriasis, so I have cut my gluten intake in half. Dairy is another no no. Does this strike a nerve??

Okay. Thanks for the explanation Wintrman

We all have our depressed moments and certainly it is lousy when people are looking and react careless.

On diary, you could try to avoid paprika’s, tomato’s, sharp herbs and peanuts (or basically anything baked in peanut oil) and oh.. no red wine. Those all are triggers. So… perhaps it helps a little. It’s worth trying.
