Hello Billy3bartletts to Psoriasis Club.

Good to hear it's working for you, but it's not for me. The only thing I use from that list is Coconut Oil, but for me psoriatic arthritis needs something better and the Bio's are better suited in my case.

But as long as it's working, you enjoy it.

Regards.

Fred.

Welcome! I found that the coconut oil works great as a moisturizer. I was taking 5,000 iu Vit D per day before my psoriasis and continue that still but didn't notice it helping any for me. The steroid creams did help sooth a bit but didn't help me either so like you, I stopped those.

I'm glad you've found what works for you, that's the important thing. For me it was light therapy and Acitretin (I no longer use either) but I still struggle with a few spots.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the welcome ihad to take the vit D for about six weeks before I notice a difference but my psoriasis is much better I still have large spots on back and elbows and I have it in my scalp too I keep that under control with vitamin E shampoo and conditioner dr organic and t gel I also have it in my nail but I just paint them and try to forget about it. I also use sunbeds if it gets really bad I have had no joy with doctors............
