Sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family.
Yes stress can make it worse, so enjoy the summer and try to chill out during the building work.

Been a little stressed my lovely mum in law passed away [ she was a great person ] and also building a house right now , so probably my P is a bit reactive right now . But we is still
looking forward to summer 
I hope the increase dose zaps the Psoriasis for you and no bad side effects would be a good result

it's good you are feeling positive about acetretin
Sorry to hear about your mum in law these are always difficult times for us people with stress triggered diseases ...building a house also can bring high levels of stress
So as Fred says try to chill, and do enjoy your summer and think of us going into our winter

Acitretin can take awhile before you really notice any clearing. Glad to hear your doctor is happy with where you are, that's a good sign

hey, i am on acitretin for about 2 months, it took nearly 6 weeks until the first really good results could be seen. but then it was like a turbo :-) still happy at the moment with 20mg per day.
stay positive, i am sure it will work. and very good you have no bad side effects. that is really really good.
