Hi All. It turns out I have Psoriactic Arthritis in my right hand and Osteo in both my feet, both sides. Was lucky to see a consultant who is not pushing drugs on me. I've relaxed my diet and I'm trying to relax as much as I can. Best wishes to you.

I noticed something recently. When my skin is flaring, I become much more prone to mental introspection, thinking about things and dwelling on things that wouldn't normally bother me too much. Is this a personal thing, or do others find this? ✨✨✨

When you get prescribed meds from the doctor, do you take the time to properly read the information sheet they include in the box?

Double trouble! 😉 I have a few guttate psoriasis spots ON TOP on my inverse psoriasis patch in my bum crack! Did not even know this was possible! Do other people get one type of psoriasis on top of another?!

so the p is making a steady reapperance..I'm gunna try sunbeds from next week..each spot that comes i make a point of saying to it..hello,you won't make me feel ugly this time..I accept your there..kinda makes me feel better.

Question for those with guttae P, when you get cream from the doc, do you put it only on each little area, or simply slather it all over?

Went for routine blood work. Apparently I'm having kidney issues. More blood work yesterday. Results next week. Feel pretty good but slight twinge in shoulders. He suspects lupus is acting up. WTH! Nothing has changed except getting married. LOL

Hi loves! Good news- bloods back, no lupus, rheumatoid, etc.
Inconclusive for PsA, so I'm being referred to a rheum.
Hopefully imaging of my joints will give more answers.
What's your experience with rheums? Cost in Aus, pos/neg exp, etc?

Does anyone skin get wrinkles on their biceps and thighs? I Know I lost some weight but I don't think thats the reason.

What kind of foods flare up psoriasis?

The many bizarre "faces" of psoriasis.. Once I had flaky white dry skin everywhere. Now I have red smooth prickly skin on some bits. I try to think it's part of the healing process... Which is worse for you, white and dry, or red and prickly? 😑

So seeing my Specialist today for a checkup and blood work since starting Chemo 3 weeks ago. I've found since starting the Chemo I've zero energy and lethargic all time despite taking B-12, omega 3 and folic acid.

Well i am on day 3 since my inflammatory weekend, nothing seems to look different in the skin,slight joint ache now and again but that was to be expected, good though so i am pleased,eat well people regularly :)

Does anyone know if honey turkey and honey chicken lunch meat ok to eat. Also turkey chopmeat. Or will it cause a problem.

My skin peels like when you get a sunburn. Is that what scaling is? Someone told me yes, then someone else said no? Does anyone know?

P recently started to appear round mouth and eyes. Tried loads cream, even herbal and acupuncture nothing working. Any ideas on what I should do next? Has anyone found something that works, especially around the eyes? Thanks.

My scalp and elbows have taken to flaring intermittently, independently of each other! So scalp flares, then clears. Elbows flare then clear. What is this weird phenomenon? Does anyone else get this kind of "alternating" or do you flare all over? 😶

I'm a new member had P most of my life. Had many percriptions for creams and ointments over time, have not heard about lemons until I joined, could someone please give me some more info, thanks!

Hello everyone
I’m just a new member

The mysteries of psoriasis! I've eaten small portions of white rice 3 times this week as a reintroduction and hard to pinpoint reactions, in between swimming, hormones, and getting a cold. Reintros take a long time! This process is long! 😣
