My husband is having a flare up.

Hi. So sorry to hear that your husband is having a bad flare. I myself have just come out of one after almost 3 months. I suspect and cannot prove but going on my own symptoms and results it is all down to anxiety and stress. In this case covid 19. Mine was work and personal, try and get him to sleep and rest and shut off all external negative news reports etc. Hope he gets well soon. Mike

Hi Mike, how did you clear your previous flare up ?

Hi psoriasislivin. I will not begin by saying it was easy as no doubt you will be aware ,but I tried many many combinations of steroids,both topical and oral. Creams, ointments,diets and even antidepressants , all of which DID NOT WORK,the only way I could get relief and get it under control was with a combination of Enstilar and UVB light therapy . This was the only thing that worked and it is recognised as a very good option. It took a few works to work but did work and can only say it was the thing that changed the whole horrible experience of psoriasis flare which is a terrible thing. Regards Mike

Hi. Firstly Id like to say it's a horrible thing is this skin disease we have. I my self have had it for 20nyears plus had all the creams etc had it in my hair arse knees elbows you ne it iv had it. I spoke with a specialist and asked her about diets and she laughed and said no they don't work. Iv been gluten free now. For a weeks and honest is pritty much gone from my elbows and going from my knees. I drink alcohol alot a few cans a night so I changed that to cider changed my bread to gluten free and food etc and honest this is the longest iv not seen red patches coming through my elbow knees etc. I'm hoping this could be it for me woth this horrible skin problem. I'm also taking milk thistle. Please ask him to try this diet but he really needs to give it a try it's killing me not having a normal pizza or battered fish. Lete know the results. Cheers Rob
