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

What's your opinions on the use of sunbeds to treat psoriasis? I've had a few sessions and see a drastic but short lived difference. I'm aware of the dangers of sunbed use but sometimes I want a quick fix
