I just came here to say I wish you the very best of luck.

While not quite as severe as yours, my psoriasis and dyshidrotic eczema caused me severe discomfort, pain and depression. My hands, feet and back of my knees were about as bad as yours but not my forearms/face. For the first time in 12 years, I no longer have to apologize for bleeding/shedding places unintended.

I got prescribed dupixent by an allergist and ran into a similar issue with yours regarding healthcare. After about an hour of back and forth phone calls between the health insurance and drug manufacturer, Dupixent gave me a $10,000 fsa for use on their drug and my insurance agreed to bring down cost. Either way, I have $0 out of pocket cost; the just cost of picking up my syringes once a month and injecting myself every 2 weeks.

Once I saw some results, it snowballed into some other positive lifestyle changes, but those back and forth phones calls changed my life.

Since this in an AMA though, here's my question: what temperature showers you take?

Do you have a S.O. and if so, how do they see it? How did you tell them? Your parents thoughts?

If/when I go to Norway this Thanksgiving, what's the most Viking thing I can do?
