At first you may think you are dehydrated and your skin is just dryer than normal. You drink more water and maybe use a little more moisturizer or start to use it. But it doesn’t seem to go away, especially if you are under stress. Creeps up on you. -And they call it the golden age. Nothing golden about it!

I have psoriatic arthritis. My psoriasis is mild but the arthritis was very painful. The immunosuppressant medication my rheumatologist prescribed is a miracle!

CyanJaguar62, exactly same here, I doubt I'd be able to walk now if it wasn't for the injections

And it can be painful … my daughter had to have someone write for her in 2nd grade bc her hands were cracked open (we had bandages on her hands). Thankfully she kinda outgrew it for awhile

J, ... me too, hair loss and constant tiredness, but it's worked. Weekly jabs and monthly blood tests keep it under control

I lived for a year with a girl who had this. When I caught ringworm from a stray cat my mother thought that I had caught psoriasis. My doctor advised otherwise.

Thankfully, many new medications called the biologics are now available to treat this chronic condition.
