I suffer from psoriasis. I wish it would cure that.although it does help the constant stress which is caused by psoriasis.

Excellent post .

Thanks

Vaping reduced my psoriasis by about 75% and agreed stress is the most cause of psoriasis

I use:

Demovate for most of my psoriasis and it works a treat, and the odd bit of Diprosalic for when something gets severe and once not severe back onto Demovate.

Might sound vain but a sunbed now and again works well too

The NHS do a light therapy Clinic

I suffered for 3 years with chronic allergic dermatitis, was not able to get it under control (washing with Dermol , Dermovate, Diprosalic, Wet Bandages & loads of other stuff ) but light therapy worked a treat (its main use is psoriasis treatment). its like stepping in cubicle (with welders goggles to protect eyes)with like sunbed tubes all around you but they are far more powerful. Treatment(3 times a week) lasts for a few seconds & goes up to max 2 mins 30 sec, worked a treat & lovely tan too

I thought it was good for him, but- man- sunbed- beauty salon - ok you get the picture - once a week when it was real quiet before closing he used it and it started to clear up . We went to sunnier climes and it vanished , back home -starts to come back.
Don't know what it is but something clears it, he has shampoo, and cream we don't get no more that doesn't do anything.

Great post!

And can I add, from my extensive google search, that nictoine acts as an anti depression aid. Many doctors, it seems, prescribe anti depressant s for those going cold turkey. I became very depressed reducing my nicotine (have never suffered from depression in my life) lesson learned, won't be doing that again!

I have had the light treament in the past and it does work but you can only have it every 2 to 3 years. And my psporiasis keeps coming back after about 6months after treatment,and it seems to be more agresive every time. I now use Dovabet gel which helps but i must apply it twice a day.

Hardyboater next time you see your GP ask for some Dermovate (Ointment not cream, Ointments work so much better)....no harm in giving it a go.

The thing with psoriasis is finding the right medicine, what might work for you may not for someone else.

That is interesting! I was showing off my e-cig to a friend the other day. She is a mental health nurse and she said that almost all of the patients she has treated have been heavy smokers. She's often wondered why when cigarette smoking among the general population is becoming less and less common. Does the nicotine (or something else in tobacco) ease the mental health problem, is having a smoke break a psychological prop, is the repetitive hand-mouth action of smoking calming them, or something else?

She's also wondered whether tobacco can trigger MH issues in people who have that tendency, but has never been able to find any research to support or contradict that. 

She said the only group that she had noticed that never smoked were MH patients who also had autism conditions, as they tend to be very hypersensitive to smells and tastes so wouldn't be able to stand it.

A lot of her patients also used a lot of cannabis, cocaine and/or alcohol, which stands to reason as these have strong effects on the mind and probably would mask symptoms very well, but nicotine doesn't have the same effects so it's strange how that one fits into the picture.
