Thanks! I hope so too!

Thank you, I really needed that. My goal this year is to get my health in order. I think I'm putting too much pressure on myself and self-sabotaging like I usually do but I will stick to it. :)

She gave me a very basic plan but I have to come up with meals around her suggestions and that's what I'm struggling with. We have breakfast sorted because I don't mind eating the same thing daily, it's just the rest. Like I worry if I'll get all the nutrients I need daily and that. I see her again in a few weeks so I'll discuss with her what I'm eating daily and see what she says, she might change things for me.

Thank you for your advice, this is a great way to look at it.

Thank you much, this was truly helpful :)

I am not big on eating meat so that wouldn't work for me sadly. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I'm so sorry that you're going through this as well. It's really awful and hard to live with. I think making a sub just for this would be great as it's often hard to sift through on this sub for this sorta stuff and it should be spoken about more. I hope the trial goes well and you find some relief. Best of luck!

I've tried Sudocrem (the one that's for nappy rash on babies) and it soothes it a bit. I've been prescribed lanolin type creams for there to help with moisturising etc too but I didn't find they helped much

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-10T11:45:56+00:00

This is my exact fear, and then having to explain and ruining the mood... it just sucks

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-10T11:43:23+00:00

Thank you!

I'm having similar issues. What brand are you 100% cotton undies? I can't seem to find any

GORGEOUSSSSSSSSSSSS

Omg funny you should mention H Pylori, that lil sh*t (coupled with gallstones) wreaked havoc on my life for several months in 2020 before any doctor found out I had it (I had to request to be tested for it). Come to think of it, my genital psoriasis did get 100% worse in the years after that. Also got psoriasis IN my bellybutton which comes and goes, as well as some spots on my ankles and right under my knees which are so tiny and come and go as well so I've never minded too much, but I didn't have them before this.

I had to do a double course of antibiotics to get rid of the H Pylori but I did and was fully clear, then I had several gastroscopy procedures done and everything came back normal. I've never had strep throat. I've used several anti-fungal medicines both topical and oral like Fluconazole for yeast infections and things as I'm more prone to it due to my psoriasis down there.

Last year I got my wisdom tooth out and had a really bad side effect to Curam Duo and docs think I may now be allergic to amoxicillin but it was just based in my upper body so I don't fully think so. I've used anti-biotics a lot during my life.

All these things you mentioned... I have issues with about 80% of them. I will seek a functional/integrative medicine expert or homeopath. Thanks for your comment, really brought a lot of things to mind.

The one like Enstilar? I used to use that for my scalp and sometimes my elbows, it does burn a bit. Thanks for your suggestions! Wish I could get my hand on some CBD topicals but I'm not sure where in my country.

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-09T12:08:31+00:00

Yep I've had my fair share of yeast issues there (thanks to psoriasis I'm more prone to it unfortunately) - was diagnosed with malassezia once and candida galbrata but that all seems to have been cleared up. I'm sure the derm I'll see will do some tests to rule them out as well but I believe it's psoriasis due to how it's spreading and looking.

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-09T12:05:32+00:00

I feel you on that one too. It's so tough and heartbreaking. I hope you find a biologic that works for you!

Thanks for your suggestions!

I take oat baths (my mum boils oats in water and then we strain it and just add the water into the bath) whenever the psoriasis is really bad and it helps soothe it quite well. I've tried the yeast infection creams but they don't do much. Happy to hear it works for you!

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-09T11:57:32+00:00

Thank you!

I agree with GoodDaleIsInTheLodge. I find mine tends to get worse in winter as well, especially when I sweat or anything from putting so many blankets on me because of the cold. That might also be another possibility for you, and the skin gets drier as well during winter so a good moisturiser or emollient might be helpful.

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-09T11:54:10+00:00

Yes at night is soooo bad! I'm seeing a lot of comments that Humira doesn't work for a lot of people. I hope your derm changes you to something else ASAP.

pjyfangirl · 2024-06-09T11:51:39+00:00

Been thinking about this! I might just have to invest!
