Hello wooleyb 
to Psoriasis Club.
Sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with palmoplantar pustulosis psoriasis, but at least you are seeing a dermatologist which is important. I also understand your frustration, but like Jim said "They have to follow protocol" and it can take time to find something that works, but the good news is that things are moving along a lot faster today then ever before with different treatments. So if ever there was a good time to get psoriasis it's now.
As for natural: I'm a big fan of Coconut oil, you can read more about it here: Coconut Oil
I can't help with other natural treatments as I think they are to difficult to follow and don't have a very good long term efficacy. But you may find something here that could help: Natural Treatments For Psoriasis
The biggest advice I could give would be to accept you now have psoriasis for life and try to keep positive. It can be managed though can take time to get there. Don't hesitate to ask questions, none of us our doctors but we know what it's like to live with psoriasis and can offer advice and support.
Good intro by the way, and don't worry about having a ramble you will find most of us do. I would suggest you have a look in the [Group Specific] board you will find plenty going on to take your mind off things and a great bunch of people. (I'm the only sensible one though)
Regards.
Fred.
