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 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?
