I feel ya mate. I've had psoriasis for almost 20 years. It's up and down with severity as you'd know - had to take a month long break from work about 10 years ago because it got so bad that my legs had tears in skin and lots of swelling.

This year I happened to discover that cbd oil was available as a treatment in my country so I gave it a shot - got a consultantation from a doc who prescribed it for me. I've been taking it since mid of May and my psoriasis has cleared up quite a bit. It's not all gone but I can wear half shirts again after almost a decade now. Might have plateaued even, but I'm happy that I'm not taking something like methotrexate. I so want to wear shorts again but it looks like I'll have to learn to manage lifestyle and stress too.

I'm planning to take a food allergy test and see what turns up. At the moment I'm trying my best to cut down on gluten and sugar - not sure if it's helping but I feel much better overall because of a better diet.

Thanks mate. I'm sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. You're right about the feeling of not having to hide under full clothes.

It's just something that I'm considering. My wife's friend was having some issues so she had done one. They put some patches on her skin and then check for a reaction - AFAIK. She turned out to be allergic to cashews. So I thought neat I might give this a shot one day and see what results I get.

I haven't checked out any clinics providing it yet so I don't know what other methods are used.
