Answer 3

I had a 13 year history of psoriasis, though I was in good health otherwise. But these severe large, thick and scaly excoriated plaques on my neck, ears, trunk and limbs ruined the way I was leading my life. I would be with red, inflamed itchy skin for most part of the year and these silvery scales would seem to be erupting without any reason. To make matters worse, blisters would appear over already red and itching skin. It was living hell.

I was treated with various options but nothing seemed to be working. Some of the treatments that I underwent in this depressing period of 13 years included tar preparation, tropical steroids and anthralin. I was also given light therapy many times but everything I tried would give me temporary relief.

And soon, after a few days I would be plagued with the situation again. In one of those moments when I was completely lost I stumbled upon this website just by chance. I read it and felt that as if someone had put the story my life on this web page. I was thoroughly convinced that if ANYONE can cure me of condition, it would be you.

And was I right, or what. I started recovering within 3 days of starting this treatment. Something that had become a painful part of me for 13 years was actually getting healed! My ears are healed and my neck is smooth again!. I am a month into the treatment and I have never felt better in my life!

Psoriasis Revolution?

Answer 4

I have had psoriasis for the past 12 years and also suffer with psoriasis of the finger nails (just one nail at the moment). As a condition, psoriasis is very difficult to treat as there is no known cure and people all respond differently to different treatments. As for psoriasis of the finger nail, this is particularly difficult to treat. You should try to keep the nails as short as possible, for comfort if nothing else. The following psoriasis forum is extremely helpful and can provide you with lots of advice, ideas and understanding:

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I was diagnosed with psoriasis at age 14 and now I am 36 years old. You can say that I have tried just about every medicine both approved by FDA and trial without much success. Examples include Enbrel, Humira, oral meds, creams, oils, salts, coal tar, etc and the list is much more extensive that I can't even remember all of the names. But recently after someone shared this video https://tr.im/PsoriasisTreatments2015NWq0 everything has changed. My psoriasis completely cleared by putting these changes in place. I only wish I'd taken photos of before and after because it truly has been miraculous. I am getting married in Oct, 2015 and I am wearing a strapless gown that also shows my back and I am confident (not like before) that my skin will be soft and pretty vs red and flakey.

Answer 6

I have had psoriasis for over 40 years, mostly from head to toe (never do anything by halves!) Then on the, 40th anniversary it very strangely decided to almost leave me (any biblical connection with 40?)
However, I say almost: scalp face elbows slightly affected and of course, the worst of all FINGERNAILS - so far I haven't come across anything that works but I will try a few of my fellow sufferer's ideas!
P.S. I have dismissed psoriasis from my mind, on the odd occasion someone is crass enough to say, "ooh, what is that" I have to think what they are talking about!

Answer 8

Psoriasis of the fingernails is very hard to treat. From my knowledge, the only treatments that really get to the root of psoriasis of the nails are treatments like methotrexate, enbrel, remicade, etc...also known as disease-modifying drugs.

Answer 10

From my experience last summer I stop consuming daiiry products and my one glass of red wine per. Also whatever I was eating (except of dairy products) I ate before a whole plate with boiled greens (with lemon and olive oil)(check this address but the english translation I think is far away from what I mean http://el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%A7%CF%8C%CF%81%CF%84%CE%B1) which are green red and have bitter taste.

Well, I had p on my nails for more than 7 years on 8 nails and it was the first time that I saw these yellow spots under the nails to become fine brown lines and as the nails were growing and cut them my nails was health and nice again. Also my nails had became wavy and this also was fixed. I took about 8 months to me. it;s the time needed to grow new nails.

I didn't stop eating bread. Also I was eating every day a table spoon of grinder coconut and 2lt of water with a sqeezed lemon in. I was focused that the problem has to do with the intestals.

After last xmas I spoiled my diet with chocolate sweets and some cheese and I have 2 two nails with p again. So sorry. But I know my way.....

Answer 11

There was a woman who somehow cured her psoriasis by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and staying healthy. But that was an exceptional case.
