hi, my story is that i developed psorasis when i was 3, and then arthritis when i was 6, which has now spread to every joint in my body. I also have crohns to top it all off. My psorasis is pretty bad, so I have to walk around in long trousers and jumpers just to hide it. I completely agree with jacob with everything he says. I am on methotrexate injections weekly, along with an infusion every 6 weeks which I have to be on all day. It sucks when your 18 and have to go through this all your life!

Hallo Jacob,
you can try Ivy, cook 150 gram vom Ivy in 2 liter water, let it slowly cool down, than use it every day over your whole body as cleaning water, it helpd your skin a lot – I do it too – and it works. Good luck. TRY IT AND EVERYBODY OF YOU OUT THERE!!!
Ivy is antibiotic, antibacteriell – and so on…. no chemie -

When I was in 7th grade, my dermatologist recommended I soak my fingertips in a solution, then put a topical ointment on, and cover them with tape. So it looked like I was wearing thimbles on each finger tip. Edward Scissor hands!!
Now, PsA is acting up, and I’m 45. My back is killing me, as are other joints, but Methotrexate, Enbrel, look too frightening. What are you on now???Great video, by the way.

God bless you Jacob. I am 51 and was diagnosed with psoriasis and the accompanying arthritis when I was 35. It has been a constant battle, but we finally found something that works very well to keep it cleared up. Enbril is a miracle drug in my opinion. After 13 years of trying one thing then another we finally moved to UV B light treatment but all that got me was stage 3 malignant melanoma and major surgery to rid myself of the cancer. Luckily that was 6 years ago and I am cancer free.
