Hi, I'm happy to see if this is a place that will be supportive and helpful. I was on Inspire before it was Inspire and after, and I really got discouraged with the snarkiness factor.
I've had psoriasis since my late 20s, in my mid 50s now. I also have other autoimmune conditions like interstitial cystitis and what I thought was Hashimotos thyroidosis, but that just got challenged by a new ND who said she thought it wasn't, that I had hypothroidism for sure but not Hashis. Lately (menopause, death of beloved pet, depressing state of nation/world) the guttate has gotten worse and worse. Because I was treating primarily with diet and supplements, I was starting to blame myself for not dialing in the diet and supplements adequately.
I recently (two weeks ago) used a topical corticosteriod. I will post a question about that in another thread. I also started LDN. My new ND is going to test for Strept, which she says is correlated with Guttate P. Also viral load, also she suspects Lyme disease! So I guess I'm starting a new phase of my healing journey.
Thanks for reading!
