9. I've got it...it sucks

Mar 2021

Had psoriasis for years and the last flare has brought up the arthritis...

My hands and feet seem to be the worst, my toes look like little fat sausages...

I take an immuno-suppressant injection, and use CBD oil/lotion on my hands when it gets narly

Ironically, psoriasis is one of the few illnesses that LOVES sunlight... I know that it is usually the worst in the middle of winter. As it gets warmer, I will be out on the deck sucking up the sun! and it even helpls the stiffness in the joints too...
