Hello from CrowFriend

[jiml]

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!

Hi Crowfriend and from me a late   ....yes we pride ourselves here on the friendliness of members, as fred says we can disagree but are always respectful ....I also was on the other website, and left for the same reasons ....I felt some members were not helpful and some ridiculed new members ....you won't find any of that here ...this site is self funded by Fred so you will never be asked to donate, you won't see any ads, or spam .......just sufferers like yourself discussing their treatment and supporting one another ....
I hope you enjoy your time here, you do seem to have a lot of problems, I hope your ND can help you, but wonder why you don't see a dermatologist for conventional treatment, we have a couple of members who have mentioned LDN but unfortunately haven't kept their threads updated ....
Good to have you on the club ....I see you have another thread with some good advice offered already
Jim
