Hi Angie and a warm welcome to our club. 
You will find us a friendly bunch. Fred the sites owner does an excellent job keeping us free of trolls and scammers. Pretty nearly everyone on here suffers from some form of psoriasis or other and will happily share their experience of this disease.
Like yourself I found the older coal tar treatments better than the more up to date topical. Just be careful if you decide to go down the home UV route. Although some people do get significant clearance, it shouldn't be considered as a long term treatment as it can have some nasty side effects. And let's face it Sydney isn't exactly shy on the natural sun
. If that doesn't help, a expensive lamp won't. I am assuming your are under the care of a dermatologist? If not they have an arsenal treatments available to them both topical and systemic.
Feel free to ask any questions and have a good hunt through the site there is a wealth of information.
Don't forget the off topic area, you will often find somebody in the bar if you need some light refreshment.
