Hi Carla thanks for joining I'm afraid most British members are sleeping, but I saw you had posted and thought I would say hi and   you will find answers to any questions you may have here from a variety of members from around the word that have had experience of most treatments available. We know how demoralising it is with the awful itching and the trail of snow we leave behind us
So dive in and if you have any questions there is usually someone who can answer or point you towards an answer

Thanks for joining and I'm sure you should get some benefit chatting with people who understand the disease

Thanks everyone nice to know I'm  not alone   At work at the moment so not able to chat properly, all I do know is I've used so many different lotions and potions and what works for you guys?

[Caroline]

I just walked in at work, the coffee is still hot



The potions and lotions I did not need, my Psoriasis is not at my skin but in my joints. So can’t tell you anything about potions., but the fact that most sufferers finally will have to stop it.
Over here on the forum we swear with a good virgin coconutoil. To moisturise and relieve itching.

For myself the first thing that worked was DMF, dimethylfumarate, and that worked excellently.

Hello Carla   to Psoriasis Club.

Are you seeing a dermatologist ? If not you should get your GP to refer you to one as they are much better suited to treat you. Depending on what you have tried (and going by your post I'm guessing mainly creams) they are never going to manage it long term, so you will need your dermatologist to try light treatment or one of the oral treatments first: Oral Treatments For Psoriasis

If you have tried and failed on the oral treatments your next step is a Bio: Biological Treatments For Psoriasis

Have a good look around the forum and don;t hesitate to start other threads with your questions.

And No you are not alone and like the others said you will find us a friendly bunch, so just dive on in. If you want to get to know some of our members better I can recommend the [Group Specific] board. You will find lot's of things going on in there away from psoriasis, but be warned I'm the only sensible one in there.

Regards.

Fred.
