Understanding Psoriasis: living with Psoriasis...

» Red - living with Psoriasis...

I had a severe outbreak of Psoriasis in March. It is suspected that this is caused by stress, due to my husband's heart attacks and lack of employment for over a year while waiting for bypass surgery.

This outbreak was all over my body except face. It covered my legs so completely that there was no space left untouched. The doctor suspected it had gone into the walls of my lungs. (I am not sure this was the case.)

I made several trips out of town trying to find a good dermatologist, which I finally accomplished. She wanted me to take UV treatments. The first one affected my eyes, though they were protected with googles as well as a towel. I could not continue. She then prescribed an ointment of tar and coal. (Celestroderm - V) It did help a little but did not take the itch away. I have been taking a daily dose of 5 Benadryl capsules to enable me to live without going mad from the itch.

My sister happened to be talking to me and told me she had a home remedy for Psoriasis. She has never had it nor has any other member of my family but she collects home remedies and a friend had given it to her. I used it and it worked great. The Psoriasis, while not entirely gone, is 90% better. This home remedy is an all natural herbal remedy. I recommend this remedy to anyone that would like to have it. Just drop me a line.

Of course, I am not a physician, so people should check with their doctors before using it. If you would like to have it, let me know.
