Hi. I'm Kath. I just found this site from the NHS website. I have had a v bad flare up of my psoriasis over the past week. I just had an emergency GP appt today as I wasn't sure what this rash is. I've been reading a bit and it says its an autoimmune disease. I have Hashimotos thyroiditis so was wondering whether anyone else has psoriasis and Hashimotos ? Anyway thanks for reading and Hi from South London. I've got some special soapless soap and cream on prescription just had bath and slathered it on. I'm real glad to have found this site.

hi I'm Lisa I'm 35 I have suffered from psoriasis my whole life

hi I have psoriasis but I don't have Hashimotos thyroiditis but as you have an auto immune problem already it doesn't help does any one else in your family have it as it can be heridetry or because you already have an immune disorder they say that psoriasis isn't a herederitry thing either but it is as my mum had it and my aunt's and uncles have it too aveeno for eczema is a really good moisturiser to use on psoriasis and so is dream cream and oaty creamy creme shower creme from lush hope umyou get it all sorted x

oh no sorry it didn't work there's nothing worse I hope you get it sorted it's so hard because my skin gets used to the ointments and creams so they stop working but I ain't got much hope even methotrexate didn't work on mine and I was up to 15mg it just made me Ill x

I have had a patch of psoriasis on top of my foot for over 10 years.I used to think it was athlete's foot.Now I seem to have developed psori

Hello Kath,I have had Hashimoto's for 30 years and then psoriasis came along four years ago- after a stressful time in my life.I understand that one autoimmune condition makes you more likely to get another one. For the psoriasis and general wellbeing,I have found strong probiotics help,as well as going gluten-free and minimizing sugar intake(the tough one for me!)..........It seems that health starts in the gut!.........I have avoided steroids and even steroid creams just made things worse.....The only ointment my skin tolerates is Epaderm......Then again,we're all individualsHope you get better.

Hi my name is Stephanie I also have psoriasis psoriatic Arthritis, Hashimoto’s disease and something called empty cells syndrome. I have extremely bad flareup right now I don’t know to many other people that have all the same conditions as I do but I’m trying to find the help that I need I’ve had psoriasis since I was 10 years old I’m now 41 and it’s getting worse and worse they’ve switched my medicine 100 times. I did hear on here somebody saying psoriasis was not hereditary I don’t know who told you that but it most definitely is hereditary.
