Don’t you just hate it when people who’ve never had psoriasis seem to know everything about psoriasis? Like a comment I recently read about ‘there being no such thing’ as a psoriasis diet. Whoever made that comment missed the point.
It’s not about a proven or unproven psoriasis diet… or that the diet is the magic bullet… where do these people get their information… or do they even ‘think’ when they write about a topic that they themselves don’t live with?
It’s about understanding that most diseases, including psoriasis, are caused by an immune system deficiency and/or imbalance, and everybody knows or should know that after 30 years of age… your immune system starts going downhill! Why? Because from the moment you’re born your body is being bombarded with all kinds of toxins in the air we breath, water we drink, and foods we eat.
Now that being said, aside from re-enforcing or boosting your immune system through commercial ways, what better source is there to improve your immune system than by proper diet. That is what is meant by a psoriasis diet. A proper or unique psoriasis diet will allow for a detoxification process, followed by a strict menu or diet plan… with the primary goal being boosting your immune system and improving your deficiencies and imbalance, whether it be T-cells or anything else.
The problem with people with psoriasis, just as in muscle gaining, you need to follow a specific diet and step-by-step menu. There seems to be a lack of imagination and discipline to establish a workable menu. You need to follow some sort of guide, which will help you implement a detoxification period and then follow a step-by-step plan or menu without worrying about where to start, and how to keep it up.
Granted, conditions such as psoriasis and other skin problems are sensitive to certain foods, but you can’t deny the fact that   more and more researchers show that the common ground for psoriasis is an immune system highly affected by toxins , parasites, and what have you, causing an imbalance of those famous killer T-cells.
Have a healthy life!

Yay I finished my antibiotics last night and was able to begin my UVB again this morning. Albeit I am back to 45 seconds per side but its better than nothing. To be honest I thought that my skin would have flared more than it did before I was able to start up again.
Crossing fingers that I don’t burn and that things keep getting better.Posted byBlossyat10:28:00 AM

I went to see my GP on Wednesday. Well not my doctor really as he is on a holiday until Aug 25th so I saw another doctor in the same clinic. In some ways I wish I had waited until Dr F came back instead of seeing Dr C.

The reason I went was to let the doctor know that my wrists, arms and shoulder seemed to be hurting more than normal & that I didn’t think that the mobic I was taking for my Carpal Tunnel (CT) was helping (I did forget once again to mention my hip pain). Once I mentioned this Dr C got me to squeeze his hands and then place my hands together in different positions to check them. He then asked me if I had any test done etc to confirm if it was carpal tunnel and had anyone spoken to me about treatment options that were available. I had to say No tests were done.
While Dr C was checking out my hands he noticed that I have psoriasis and he suggested that I might have arthritis. Of course the first thought in my head was NO NOT Psoriatic Arthritis! He organised for me to have a blood test to check for various markers that would show inflammation levels, liver function, etc and gave me a referral for a nerve conduction study (NCS)

I saw Dr Li all those years ago when I was first diagnosed with CT and he didn’t believe in sending people to see specialists or sending them off to have loads of tests done. Maybe he was mindful of how much money these things could consume as most of his patients were on benefits of some kind. In fact the one and only time I asked Dr Li for a referral to a dermatologist he said I don’t know they are awfully expensive to see. He reluctantly wrote a referral and I saw the derm a few times only but that was enough because the main aim was to get a UVB lamp – which is exactly what I got.

I am now booked in for the NCS on Wednesday Aug 19th in the afternoon. I’m truly not looking forward to is as I have been told that it hurts. I am such a wuss when it comes to pain. Who on earth thought of this blasted test to assess for carpal tunnel anyway? Some kind of torturer? Sending electricity, even in small doses, through the skin/body sounds like torture to me. I am not happy Jan!

Before I get too distracted by the test that I am having I wanted to find out more about Psoriatic Arthritis (PA) & treatment options for it. In some ways I am truly hoping that the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel is confirmed and that this test isn’t a waste of time. I would really hate for this pain that I am having to be PA. The thought of me having arthritis scares the pants off me. At least CT can be fixed if needs be by an operation PA can’t. The links (Arthritis Victoria) that I did find in regards to PA have been very helpful.

To be honest I shouldn’t really complain about Dr C. considering I have never seen him as a patient before he is being very thorough by sending me off for different tests. It’s a shame that Dr Li didn’t do it all those years ago. It would’ve save me some time in working out where to go to from here. And of course I’ll keep you all updated on the outcomes of the tests. Wish me luck for next Wednesday!!Posted byBlossyat1:00:00 PM

Okay Spammers you are on alert! If you insist on making comments with links to herbal sites or so called ‘cures’ I will reject you comments. I have had enough. There is NO cure! There is only relief and if lucky remission of this disease.

So back off and stop sending me rubbish. I wont check the links for so called ‘cures’.Posted byBlossyat7:53:00 AM

Gosh I hadn’t realised that it had been so long since I posted anything here. At least I can give a bit of an update on how things are going ’skin’ wise for me at the moment.

I’ve continued with my UVB and am now currently up to 3 minutes per side. I’ll keep at that level for a while longer as I am still getting a bit burnt from that dosage. Not that you can see the physical effect of the burn since my skin is so pink from the psoriasis. In fact the only way that I can tell that I have a burn is that at night, after I’ve done my baking in the morning, I get extremely itchy on my back. As I said I cant see the burn but I can feel it.

I’m still taking one primolut tablet each morning and I think that it is still helping with my skin. I can at least see more and more freckles all over my body. Especially my arms and my torso. Not so much on the legs though. That darned P seems to be more stubborn there.

I went to the chemist the other week to get my daivonex prescription filled and once again they are having problems filling the order. The guy that owns the chemist said that he will phone me when it becomes available. So for now I have settled with the advantan fatty ointment which seems to be doing what is is supposed to. I cant really complain I suppose. Although I would dearly love to have something that will help the P on my legs. After all it is spring time here and the weather is warming up. I would like to be able to wear skirts and t-shirts without being too self-conscious. Not that I used to let that bother me before but things are a little different at the moment. Perhaps I will become more confident again later on. Who knows!Posted byBlossyat12:04:00 PM
