Day 1 here. 😁
psoriasis for 33 years. No dermatologist or doctor has ever been able to completely help. So I took to finding ways that supported me & changing some of the things I do. Nutrition, meditation yoga.❤ It may yet be working. 1 step closer

Many people are genetically predisposed with psoriasis yet some actually get it and others don't. Often the difference is some form of trigger. I'm curious to know if you had a trigger, what it was and your age when it happened? Thanks for sharing!
