psoreasis-what works ?
456348
I have a friend who had terrible psoreasis. He did homeopathy treatment and its gone with the wind! I had horrible eczema and homeopathy cured my eczema (I had tried everything else you can think of and nothing else worked). Give it a try!!\n\nAlso, if you try homeopathy, please persist with it. My eczema outbreaks got so much worse before they went away, but I decided I wanted to get rid of them, no matter how hard it was!

Psoriasis  is excessive growth of skin cells. I have the same problem with patches on my legs. It can be exacerbated by stress, as can ailments like IBS, so try and find methods to control stress. Dovobet ointment is a steroid (NOT an anabolic steroid) which can be used to control it. This is applied three times a day, and removes excess skin, but does not completely rid you of the slight reddening of the skin. I don't know if you can purchase it over the counter, but your GP will prescribe it.\nI know of other people who have had it who say that it never completely clears up, but it can be controlled.

That is a trial & error answer... what works for one person won't necessarily work for u.  Having said that " You got to get into a pool therapy program." Part of getting through to the best level of lifestyle is moving! These are special, extra warm water pools to help use the muscles u have without putting too much stress. Being in a supportive group, excercising brings forth positive endorfins.  This disease u definately got to be positive thinker.  Some meds do provide temporary relief but their is no cure all. Some think infrared therapy on certain sites makes the muslecs  more agaile.

Specialist dermatologists generally treat psoriasis in steps based on the severity of the disease, size of the areas involved, type of psoriasis, and the patient's response to initial treatments. This is sometimes called the "1-2-3" approach. In step 1, medicines are applied to the skin (topical treatment). Step 2 uses ultraviolet light treatments (phototherapy). Step 3 involves taking medicines by mouth or injection that treat the whole immune system (called systemic therapy).\n\nOver time, affected skin can become resistant to treatment, especially when topical corticosteroids are used. Also, a treatment that works very well in one person may have little effect in another. Thus, doctors often use a trial-and-error approach to find a treatment that works, and they may switch treatments periodically (for example, every 12 to 24 months) if a treatment does not work or if adverse reactions occur.\nTreatments applied directly to the skin may improve its condition. Doctors find that some patients respond well to ointment or cream forms of corticosteroids, vitamin D3, retinoids, coal tar, or anthralin. Bath solutions and moisturizers may be soothing, but they are seldom strong enough to improve the condition of the skin. Therefore, they usually are combined with stronger remedies.\n\nBath solutions\nPeople with psoriasis may find that adding oil when bathing, then applying a moisturizer, soothes their skin. Also, individuals can remove scales and reduce itching by soaking for 15 minutes in water containing a coal tar solution, oiled oatmeal, Epsom salts, or Dead Sea salts.\n\nMoisturizers\nWhen applied regularly over a long period, moisturizers have a soothing effect. Preparations that are thick and greasy usually work best because they seal water in the skin, reducing scaling and itching.\n\nLight therapy\nNatural ultraviolet light from the sun and controlled delivery of artificial ultraviolet light are used in treating psoriasis.\n\nSunlight\nMuch of sunlight is composed of bands of different wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) light. When absorbed into the skin, UV light suppresses the process leading to disease, causing activated T cells in the skin to die. This process reduces inflammation and slows the turnover of skin cells that causes scaling. Daily, short, nonburning exposure to sunlight clears or improves psoriasis in many people. Therefore, exposing affected skin to sunlight is one initial treatment for the disease.

In the 5 years I have been treating patients, and the 15 years my father has been treating patients via non-surgical methods, I have yet come across anything that yet works. \n\nI have read a few cases in which acupuncture has helped, but it hasn't worked on any of my patients.  \n\nIf you find the answer, let me know.

I tried it. It was easy to use. I guess I had some mild benefits. Flatter tummy, good digestion, etc., but it was nothing dramatic. \n\nI didn't see any weird creatures or "plaque." What I DID see was strands and particles of partially digested food, which could look like worms and eggs, if you didn't know what to look for. I also saw "ribbons" which looked like what some on the website were describing as plaque, but to me they looked like ribbons of the psyllium product that you take.\n\nI'm in pretty good health, so maybe my experience wasn't typical of someone in poor health. But I have to say, it wasn't worth the money, but I was willing to give it a try.

In Homeopathy what corresponds to the patients individual symptoms only that Remedy is right for for that person !\nI never heard of APIS MEL being used for that purpose. To improve concentration I prescribe SULPHUR 200 three doses at a weeks interval if that doesn't seems enough one dose of KALI PHOS 1M still not good enough three to four doses of PLUMBUM MET 200 in as many days daily !\nBingo you got the whole prescription !\nBut then again individual medicines for individual symptoms as its the Homeopathic way !\nTake care and God bless !

I spent years going to doctors and finally from a support group online learned to see a movement disorder specialist neurologist.I also have essential tremor and was so relieved when he told me I had cervical dystonia, finally a diagnosis.  I started on increased medication, (mysoline) and botox shots the next day.  The botox works wonders for me.  The pain went away, pretty much in about a month. Have you tried it?  It is very expensive if you do not have insurance, but there are other ways to get it paid for.  Sorry the dbms did not work for you, I have heard that it is awesome when it does.

Actually in part.....GOOD DEEP SWEDISH MASSAGE really helps, I know, I massage from time to time am from Hawaii...we were taught to do this at home, to walk on backs and give a VERY amazing foot massage. Neuropathy burns, so soaking and elevating the feet, avoiding salt and sodium filled foods will help. If you're a diabetic, which my mother was, it REALLY helped. being the eldest of nine, someone was usually prepared and it was all so natural. I am blonde w/ blue eyes and I live in the USA however, I cannot stand it her. Hawaii doesn't consider itself a part of it. neither do i. Reflexology is limited to this although in combination w/ sacro occiptal techniques of chiropratic medicinand accupuncture......it can be of assistance....Thank You!!!!!!!!

I have found that good old Noxema, in the blue tub has amazing anesthesia effects.  Have used it on HSV outbreaks as well as the old 'roids, with very satisfactory results.  Was given that hint by another customer in a store.

Nutri System, Weight Watchers, etc. They all work when combined with a exercise plan. Search around and ask others who have had success.
