Hey gang, I've suffered from plaque psoriasis for about 6 years now and it's in the final stages of healing. I use two different creams which are quite helpful - I have also had light treatment and used different methods of soaking. Just wondering if anyone has any helpful hints on what they've used that has worked. Serious comments only, please. (And.... what have been the psychological effects of having this skin condition and how have you handled it?) Must answer both parts to be chosen for best answer!

though thyroid diseases are known to cause by iodine deficiency in diet, we can see that people who use iodised salt too are prone to this. and especially women tend to have more thyroid problems than men.

I have read and heard about "Alkalize or Die" but I am not 100% convinced. If it was true, wouldn't it be advertised all over the world to use simple test strips once a week to determine your Alkaline/Acid levels? If you are acid eat more Alkaline foods, etc... I am currently doing this but would like to know what others think? (Source: http://www.naturalhealthschool.com/acid-alkaline.html)

have to lose your sight or hearing?
And why?

I am always amazed at those people who are blind getting on with life. I wonder how they do it!
Similarly with deaf people. To never be able to use a phone or hear music. Its just incredible.
I bow down to them!

As I've already posted, I have had shingles for 14 days now, on my face. It's better, but my eye has been affected and has 2 lesions inside the eye. I'm on Econopred 4 x's a day and my eye lid is burning at times and itching, and I awakened at 2:00 a.m. with terrible eyebrow itching--this was the first place the shingles began. I have a call in to my eye doctor to see if I need to be seen. My eye has ached and around the outside, it has hurt alot at times. ONly icebags help then. Can I still get the Shinkles vaccine when this is all over, so I don't get this again. I understand it's available now for folks over 60. thanks. yanksgirl

I suffer from migraines as well as depression and have been on so many different drugs over the last 3 yrs I could start my own pharmacy. Nacotics trigger migraines. The anit-depressants make me more tired. I am not sleeping well and feeling like I just cannot see another damn doctor. Anyone have anything that helps??? Is there a specialist out there for this type of thing. I am seeing a primary care, a psychologist and a phychiatrist. Its getting too expensive and not helping me very much. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
