Staying with my husbands parents yesterday, my mother in law had bought in a box turmeric tea after I'd been telling her about me trying to reduce inflammation. Feeling loved! And happy to able to discuss my p more openly with her than before

Insect bite on top of long standing plaque = yeowwch! Mind you, what's a little extra itching amongst old plaquey friends...

Do people on Flaym consider psoriasis a "disability"? Today is the first time anyone has ever asked me that and I honestly hadn't ever considered it before!

Realising how complicated the trigger network can be... Stress, food, drinks, sun / no sun, skin products... Some trigger instantly, some after 24 hrs... Some completely unknown! What other triggers are there? Trying to "connect" them all!

What factor SPF are people using on psoriatic skin when in the sunshine? Want to get the goodness of a bit of sunshine but also protect my skin. At the mo I'm on SPF 30...

So, psoriasis mystery... my one knee plaque appears to be clearing up whilst the other one right next to it appears exactly unchanged from its "norm" of the last 20 years. Anyone any ideas?

My family can finally sympathise with skin disorders! Mum and husband = mosquito bites, Dad = jellyfish sting. Red & itching. I sympathise with them massively! Which is worse, the redness or the itch?

My youngest son looked at my elbows today and said "uh-oh mummy". I said my skin grows super quickly, it's like having a super-power! Spin it positively until we talk about it again...

What do others do when they have flare ups of psoriasis of the "bottom cheeks"? I'm a bit perplexed by this area as not only is it a bit taboo to discuss, but also is the bit that I'm constantly sitting on, so hard to treat!

My 3 year old son has developed a ground breaking treatment today! It involves placing a purple ball of wool on psoriasis plaques and covering it with a teddy bear! If any of you are looking for an "alternative" option... Hehe!

Mm, note to self, don't over do the fresh ginger in an anti-inflammatory juice. Been breathing ginger fire all day from one cup of that feisty stuff this morning!

Packing for a holiday, how much of the suitcase do I dedicate to moisturisers?! Or should I say how many suitcases?!

Thinking about seeing a dietitian to guide my anti-inflammatory crusade, to identify any sensitivities. Did AI Flaymers just do the whole caboodle at once, gluten, dairy & nightshades, or even full autoimmune protocol including grains, legumes?

Running makes my exercise clothes rub on my guttate p patches with the running movement. Cheese grater style! The only thing that helps is wearing very small running clothes, hehe! Any runners on Flaym got advice for me?

Caught a sore throat from one of my boys... always dread getting sore throats as it triggers guttate explosions! Sand paper throat = sand paper skin. I await the arrival of some new psoriasis spatterings to care for...

So much of my life is centred around psoriasis...it's my constant companion and has shaped my life so much! What I eat, drink, how I exercise, how I shower, moisturise, medicate, how I see other people with or without psoriasis! Has it changed you?

Night time ritual of grapeseed oil on scalp, hair up in a greasy but soothing bun, herbal tea on the go, and Flaym browsing! What night time rituals do you have to help your psoriasis?

A book I read says that there is evidence that people with psoriasis have tendencies to dehydrate quicker and have lower body temperatures than people without psoriasis. I never knew this before! Anyone got other interesting p info like this?

Wholewheat blueberry pancakes went down a storm for my family this morning! I'm not eliminating gluten yet but have moved to wholewheat/grain only. Wholewheat flour, milk, frozen blueberries, agave syrup, 2 eggs, bicarb & baking powder. Yum!

I seem to have a glut of lavender essential oil. I have 3 bottles in my bathroom cabinet! Can I put this to any good use for psoriasis improvement? Is lavender oil soothing or aggravating for other Flaymers?
