    I was married to a man who had this on 60% of his body. I remember as young newly weds he got naked for the first time crying he said "It's not contagious" poor guy. I hugged him to me and said I didn't care, I loved him and just to love me. I didn't care and I loved him very much....he managed to get his condition cleared up but it wrecked his self esteem. Sweet David Lewis...I know you were in pain buddy, stressed out. I miss you too.

    I am a 61-year-old woman who started getting psoriasis at the age of seven. I have been depressed all my life and I am on antidepressants. I also have psoriatic arthritis now, and went to see a rheumatologist who changed my life. I no longer have breakouts I have more confidence and I am so much happier. My doctor prescribed Taltz injections once a month and I have to say I am feeling 100% better. I went to Stanford university three times stayed for two weeks the first time 10 days the second time and just an office visit the third time while I was in high school they use tar baths and ultraviolet lights which helped immensely also. Taltz not only cleared my psoriasis which I had from head to toe but also has helped with my psoriatic arthritis❤ bless this man and Dr. I Emma too!

    I understand psoriasis, my Grandfather had 2nd worse case in North America. As a child I saw my Grandfther in pain, sometimes cry with pain and embarrassment. To see a proud man like this it broke my heart. He had the scales from top of head to bottom of feet. It cracked, bled, itchy. He would have Teresa tar baths, went to hospital to be burned, he loved to fish and the water at the two room cottage. He would always be covered up, yet some sun helps. I was the only Grandchild he felt comfortable in front of and I would clean the bathroom for him. He was a smoker and quit, stress and sugar made it worse.
    Everywhere he went the path of white scales followed. I felt bad for him, hating to see him suffer as he was my fishing buddy and best friend. Back then you did not have these options. So happy for this man, wish you all the best

    Now he injects once monthly , amazing his life has changed, no more stupid creams , they don’t work

    I am a sufferer from severe psoriasis myself. I can relate to the initial video. I could say so much on the subject, I really could. Once people know I have psoriasis they also tell me they know of someone with psoriasis. I am starting to believe so many people nowadays have it. I am waiting patiently for a cure as it has completely altered my life and lifestyle. However, I noticed a massive change in it when I went off sugarine and now I have got use to natural honey in my coffee. Sugar is the worst for it and so is alcohol, especially beer. Honestly I can write a list what not to consume and do.

    This video upsets me because I see that we have the technologies to help with it a lot, but so many people still suffer. Either because they live in a country where they practically have no access to this, or because they don't have NHS which would cover it, or for any other of the ridiculous reasons we live with.

The Abbie Assist program has been a life saver for me. Skyrizi completely cleared me of my psoriasis. There are options to get biologics at no cost, just takes a good doctor and an application.

I don’t have huge plaques anymore, but my feet crack so bad that I can’t walk and I have no toe nails and at this age, people will make fun and talk about my feet. It’s so hard, painful, and embarrassing.

For the dermatitis I use 3 different Head and Shoulders products and I no longer use body soap but now use Avenno body wash and within 3 minutes of showering I use Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion. I also no longer have ugly heels. Thanks for the always excellent videos.

      This is an indication of the power of nicotine addiction. Any sane person with a chronic condition such as this would be grasping at the slightest hint of removing contributing factors. You will see a similar situation in the Asian acne treatment videos of severe affliction. Yet smoking, especially by males, in that population is at extremely high levels, despite all the medical opinion that it makes acne far worse. I had an aunt who would not even quit smoking after lung cancer caused a lung to be removed. Sadly, even 6 months later he confesses to still be at it. Like most smokers, if they confess to "I'm down to 3 or 4 a day" they likely are reporting their best days, not average. The medication has made the biggest change, but if his condition did not convince him to quit... Nothing will.

    Come to think of it, he could apply his own skin cream, his wife could just help with his back. Why does this man put a burden on his wife for things he can do himself?
    The one rule in life is “clean up after yourself” don’t make messes for someone else to clean up.

    Sadly skin conditions and certain types of arthritis can go hand in hand. I see people here suffering with both. I have Crohn’s disease which can affect skin, joints, eyes, etc. I never can understand how a patient suffers this bad before they can get help. I’ve had bouts of itchy skin where I’m given a topical corticosteroid as well as a pill which helps. Seeing this poor man scratch himself like that was unbelievable. I can’t imagine the pain he’d be in.😩

      Which he seems to take advantage of, or she likes to be a martyr. How could he sit right next to a mess yhat he created and expect her to sweep it up?

      @@sunfloweralpacas youre so easy to judge no? Its easy for u to say that because u don't have our illness. its painful to move specially with his condition where the body is covered 80% of it.

    As a smoker for around fifty years (without psoriasis), I seriously question that this chap has gone down to four or five cigarettes a day. Double that, and you may have just got it right (we smokers are liars in medical situations). Smoking is not negotiable as an addiction; you either stop or you don't.
