Think maybe the poison ivy thing came across wrong. See i was clearing some with poison, so i THOUGHT i had poison ivy. To be honest i havent had it in years. So im guessing that was psoriasis and misdiagnosed especially since i was aware of my surroundings prior and it seemed to line up. I was also sick, stressed, lacking sleep....sure i really fired off every trigger i could~
Great news it's helping with the creams on the feet and the Dead Sea salt, I'm guessing the sun is a great help as well, it's good to hear you've improved especially at this time of year when it's nice to get out in the sun and not have to keep covered up
I hope your creams continue to work for you

Hi Pete,
Yes, about 2-3% of the world population has psoriasis in a certain form. This makes it worlds most spread disease that expresses on the skin. So with a regularity you should bump into someone who has it.
Weather forecast over here is good.
And tonight..... Party time again !
Cheers,
Caroline

Hi Pete sorry to hear the psoriasis is not doing well, and Caroline is right with so many in the world suffering this disease. You don't have to look far to find some, but it is one of those diseases that we tend to hide away and not talk about. I'm glad you have met others with it at work.
The dtug they speak of is humira which is biological drug, and usually dermatologists try you on one of the oral treatments first like Acetretin which has a high success rate and much cheaper that humira
Good luck

Thanks. I might look into it for bottom of my feet if they dont improve. The rest is really clearing up. Ive been trying to keep my shoes off, wondering if my hands have been doing better since they get more air? I have been using clobetasol just once daily still and today isnt so bad, stayed off my feet a lot yesterday. I miss riding my bike and kayaking. Thinking i should just shell out for the little wheels to walk with the boat and get on a river for some stress free time
