Psoriasis Cure Now tell the remarkable story of four generations of women with psoriasis. Imagine four generations of women in the same family, all with psoriasis.
“I can’t remember my life before psoriasis took it over. By age three, I was covered from head to toe. I was hospitalized because the elasticity in my skin was gone, and I became so stiff I couldn’t move. I remember the nurses wrapping me in “green slime” (coal tar) and plastic wrap. Then they would come in and bathe me and peel my flakes and wrap me again.”
“My grandma has psoriasis, and my mom has psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. My great grandma, who passed away this year at age 96, also had psoriasis. I don’t know if I want to have children because I am afraid they too will have psoriasis.”

Wow, and I complain about my feet and hands splitting and bleeding! So sorry to read Stephanie’s story. Have you been to an allergist? I suspect I may have a wheat allergy and psoriasis is definitely a symptom. It is truly tough to leave wheat/flour out of one’s diet, but I am much better after 3.5 months. I will continue to leave it off until I can see more myself, seeing that it doesn’t cost anything and it is worth it to me to experiment. Next stop may be allergist! I had two drs treat me for fungus last winter. Dermatologist diagnosed the psoriasis in April and wanted to go straight to what she called ‘step 3″–accutane. I hesitated and she ordered Vectical and plenty of sunlight. I have now fallen back on steroid cream and I have more pink, healthy skin than I have had in a couple of yrs! Coincidence, perhaps, but no bread and cookies for this gal! Funny thing, I have always been prone to respiratory ailments and as a teacher I could count on picking them up. During the couple of years I have developed this degree of psoriasis, I have not had a sniffle! Surely has to do with my immune system. Good luck Stephanie and all. —Fran
