Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease which affects the skin and joints. When it affects the skin it commonly appears as red scaly elevated patches called plaques. Psoriasis plaques frequently occur on the elbows and knees, but can affect any area of skin including the scalp and genital area. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints.

except extremely expensive medications.
Ive tried everything and nothings seems to help me or bring me any relief.
Currently I am on a Vit D, folic acid, chlorophyll, ACV, flax seed oil regiment .
Also eliminated sugar, dairy, gluten, most red meat, processed foods. basically eating ground turkey, chicken, nuts and leafy greens
been doing this for a month or so and not only did my skin not get any better buts actually getting worse. My patches are getting bigger and seeing new spots in new places everyday.
Its so depressing that i dont want to do anything any more. No matter what i nothing helps.
I dont make much money , i have crappy insurance, nothing is covered and i cant do anything.
It was a short rant but im just so fed up with this already. I cant deal with it much longer, something needs to be done

after I detoxed off all my heavy meds and the dermatologist meds (the dermatologist said it was smoking haha I quit for 2 months and then cheated and it still didn't go away) but suddenly cleared up when I went off all the medications especially the pain meds and dermatologists meds within 2 weeks.
Not saying this is your cause but after that I saw on the major news that dermatologists and acne medicine from the stores actually make you have more acne so that you keep going back and taking all of their treatments and acne meds from the stores. I'm very very pale skinned and I used to wear foundation and I have gotten so lazy and so sick I can't and now my face is cleared up and does not have any acne anymore. it could be from all the meds I was on or it could be just stopping the moisturizer, acne medicine and foundation I was wearing.
Good luck to you in your journey hope you find some relief soon.
There is also a gene mutation that can wreck havoc. Anxiety, depression, migraines, arthritis, psoriasis, IBS and other problems. It's called the MTHFR gene mutation. Your doctor can test it and it shouldn't be too expensive. If they won't, you can get it done through 23andme for $99.
If that's what's going on, you'd completely cut out folic acid and take methylized folate. Folic acid is easy to avoid - watch your vitamins, don't eat "enriched & fortified" stuff like flour, cereal, bread and baked goods.
I hope you find answers that work for you.
Vitd3 ( I take a lot of this 14,000 mg per day), fish oil, multivitamin, probiotic, vinegar water, lemon water and eliminating or limiting the foods you listed has helped, but I had to stick to it for over 3 months until I saw results. It almost completely went away, but I find if I cheat it starts to come back.
I think everybody's body is different and will react different. It seems like we each have to find what works for us best. My dermatologist was only making it worse so I stopped dealing with them and went natural. Vinegar baths help the symptoms, as does aloe Vera and Vaseline for moisturizers. Wishing you swift healing.
