I've had Plaque Psoriasis for 22 years since the age of 3. Just broke out in Guttate recently within last few months. Covered head to toe including hair and face with both types of Psoriasis. I am now 25 nearly 26 and I never thought it would effect me but I am really feeling low and tired at the moment and it's making me really ill. I have been referred finally to the Dermatologist after trying 3 times to get an appointment( My mum came with me in the end). Does anyone have any anti-stress advice or any creams they can recommend until I hear back?

I have had plaque psoriasis for 30 years but it is nearly gone now after 14 months on the Pagano diet (Healing Psoriasis, a Natural Alternative by John Pagano). The diet recommended in this book has really worked for me and there is no looking back now, it has removed the fear of the disease together with the unsightly itchy patches. I advise you all to buy the book and try it for yourselves.

Posted Mon 14 Sep 2015 19.40 by ValerieBevan I've had psoriasis since I was 10 years old. I'm now 30. My oldest son also had an out break of it around the time my second son was born.
Mine started when I was 10 I'm 30 next month. I've tried everything from light steroid creams to Methotrexate. I now only moisturise and I'm learning to just accept it and not torture myself trying to make it go when it's not going anywhere. ????????

I've suffered with psoriasis for around 10 years now. I've tried various lotions and potions but not much is helping. The best thing for me definitely seems to be sunshine. I've just returned from holiday and I've noticed a great improvement while away. Unfortunately this year was the first year I've felt really self conscious about my condition and found it very difficult to deal with people staring at me... They are so rude. So sadly after a few days I covered myself up while out in public and sunbathed on my balcony where I had privacy.
I'm due to start my third lot of light therapy sessions next week which I'm sure will help and the dermatologist has recommended I have one block of sessions a year for the next 10/12 years. Hopefully this will help me manage the condition better.
After reading lots of comments on here, I'm also going to try a gluten free diet to see if it improves my skin.

Posted Wed 23 Sep 2015 12.13 by Quostone 1990 St Thomas' - 3 weeks - Guttae & Plaque Psoriasis
Controlled via self treatment
2014 Attack, Medway Maritime Hospital re UVB treatment
I was diagnosed with Guttae and Plaque Psoriasis in 1989, at the age of 27 and a year before I got married. On my honeymoon I recall walking along the beach and the skin tearing at Psoriasis patches and bleeding ...and this was while it was sunny. 1990 it was bad enough that I was admitted to St Thomas' for intensive UVA / Tar treatments and remained there for 3 weeks. Subsequently I have mostly managed the condition myself, but for UVA treatments when it gets particularly bad and trips to my consultant. Sadly I am also disabled with Muscular Dystrophy, have Cardiomyopathy, twisted stomach and have had complete respiratory failure twice. Yep, been dealt a dud hand of health...its just as well i've family and friends who care. Currently Scalp Psoriasis is driving me to distraction. Its been bad for a couple of years, and i'm nearing the end of my tether. I've read all this site's advice...and will see what to try next. Helps to get it off my chest.

I've had Psoriasis for 10+ years, most of my life in fact. It's never bothered me until recently. Every day it just keeps getting worse and worse!

I am 64 this year and have had p since I was about 10 years old. (My father had it since he was a boy). It started in the groin area and then elbows, over the years I have had several really bad episodes where my whole body has been covered with lesions. Had the coal tar cream, UV treatment and different creams over the years. I now mainly have it in my scalp, ears and tummy button. I have 3 children and the eldest also has it, he started with it when he was in his teens. It is a vicious circle as stress makes it worse but the fact that you have it makes you stressed. Until they find a cure, we have no choice but to live with it the best we can.

Hello
I have had it for over twenty years. Tried all the treatments and made some dietary adjustments but, always there for better or worse. Summer is better and I dread it when the clocks go back in December. Going to have another go at dietary stuff again. Whilst it never goes, cutting out nightshades does seem to help a bit. Also, drinking alcohol and smoking definitely makes it worse but that should be obvious anyway.

40 years for me, got it when my parents divorced.
Having a mega itching flare up at the moment and dreading going to bed, first one I've ever had.
