Hi, I am 64 have Pustular psoriasis and psoriatic Arthritis.

Hi, Elizabeth, I have been there myself, So I know what you are going through, I was told that Cannabis oil was good for the Psoriasis, Don't belive it, It has not worked on me, and I don't know if it will work on anyone else. I have just had a Flare up of My Pustular Psoriasis, and I am unable to have a knee replacement because apparently the Plaques adhere to metal and cause havoc, I was in pain all night, from my Arthritis, and am due to have an operation on my Right hand today, I am hoping that they will do the op and not just send me home, due to flare up. Just keep yourself as active as you can, and try not to get upset, I know how bad it is, But find something to do maybe a hobby, that you can take interest in.

I don't have any psoriasis on my skin just the arthritis, I have hospital today and am seeing the consultant because the tendons in my arm have been inflamed for 3 months now despite being on steroids for 6 weeks. I have been sinking like a stone, not wanting to leave the house or see friends. The pain is overwhelming, I do colouring and crosswords, listen to music and bake when I'm able to. I'm not miserable just so fed up Jax.

5 year's PsA (plaque free), newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia,suspected gout and ankolising spondylitis! Does it ever end?

Right, sorry to disappoint you but cbd oil should not be taken along with painkilling meds. My PsA is non plaque but all I take is 'cbd oil drip' - onyx strength from my local vape shop. Much stronger than Holland and Barrett! I also take turmeric 💊 I do get from Holland and Barrett they contain black pepper and oil and a few other good things £20 Please please do research before going out to buy these things otherwise you could be risking your health and wasting your money too

Hello, I’m new to join but have suffered from PsA & Psoriasis for years but didn’t realize what it was. I have been on Humera for about 2 years now and it has helped my skin Ps very much except recently developed a patch in the corner of my eye. My eye burns at times and waters constantly. This concerns me very much. The Humera helps my joints moderately during the winter months but I feel great during the warm months. Recently I am experiencing nerve ending pain in my toes which have been numb for several months. There are days where my fingers hurt so much that I can barely hold a pencil (I work in Kindergarten)

Hi, I am 64 have Pustular psoriasis and psoriatic Arthritis.

Hi, everyone, I had an operation on the 8th March, for Carpal Tunnel and Trigger finger, I have been in the most horrific pain, and My Psoriasis has flared really badly, I did not think I would have all this pain, but I do know that trauma, can start a flare up, Believe me I spoke to the hospital and they said if my pain gets worse to contact them, It did settle down, but now My flare up is out of control, I heard recently a lady say she cured her Psoriasis with Childs Farm Moisterising cream, I had to admit I got some, and put it on my hands and it has taken the soreness away, But my wound has started to gape after the stitches were removed, Am not in a good place at all, I did not think having this operation would cause me so many problems, I can only think that seeing another Dermatology Doctor would bring out the same old problems, I am not coping well, and want my hands to settle, it is taking so long I want to have my hands chopped off.
