Alright, I want to clear one thing up right now. I honestly find it hard to believe that anyone could actually recommend spending time in the ocean to help with this!
Sure, if you’re talking about soaking up the sun, I can see the logic there, since being by the coast means you aren't breathing in nearly as much pollen or dust as you would back home.
BUT, I simply cannot wrap my head around how someone could claim that swimming in the salt water actually helps. To be perfectly blunt, it doesn't work, and if it's necessary to prove my point, I'll grab a new smartphone with a decent camera at the start of next month and send over some old photos from my trip to Miami back in 2002 to show you what I mean.
I truly cannot fathom the reasoning behind such advice. After all, isn't salt the primary component of places like the Dead Sea or even certain salt deserts?
As far as my own experience goes, my only advice to people is to enjoy the sunshine, but stay out of the water—or at the very least, make sure you shower immediately after getting out. For me personally, about ten days after returning from a beach trip, my infection flares up about three times worse than usual, particularly in the areas along my back between the shoulder blades.
If anyone is so deeply convinced that swimming in the ocean provides relief, then please, go ahead and post some before-and-after photos.
That’s all for now, and please, don't ever forget to fight this relentlessly, every single day without exception, because if you truly give it everything you've got, then you have every right to expect nothing less than total victory.

Has anyone here actually tried those doctor fish treatments before?

Michael Ramos3, I honestly cannot wrap my head around such an absurd suggestion. I have spent plenty of time scrolling through previous threads on this forum, and while I have seen some nonsense before, what you just said takes the absolute cake. To start with, I weigh about 130 pounds, and given my height and age, going on a strict "diet" would be a disastrous move for my health. Furthermore, this "backwoods herbalist" who claims to be a rival to a "specialist at Johns Hopkins" is, in my humble opinion, nothing more than a street dealer, and I have no interest in being part of that lifestyle, nor should anyone else be encouraged to join.

Kate Williams41, you just confirmed my worst fears regarding this situation; if I understood the context correctly, you were implying that the treatment won't just cost me $1,200—it’s going to cost me much more than that, provided I don't end up tossing and turning all night like a restless child.

I feel compelled to add one more thing: PEOPLE, PLEASE STOP RECOMMENDING THE BEACH! Speaking from my own personal experience when I was sixteen, I went on vacation to Miami. Before the trip, my infection was limited strictly to my face, but after spending forty-two days by the ocean, I came home with flare-ups all over my knees and elbows. It got even worse when I was eighteen and spent twenty days seaside in Seattle. Even though I made it a point to shower immediately after swimming, once I got home, I ate some melted ice cream that ended up triggering scarlet fever. That's that condition where your skin feels like sandpaper; normally, people might just have slightly rough skin, but for me, it acted as a catalyst that caused my infection to expand by a staggering 30%.
That is my take on the supposed benefits of the coast. I am certainly not claiming this happens to everyone, but as far as I am concerned, the beach and the desert are cut from the same cloth. Just think about it for a second: even Egypt was once a fertile land, but they irrigated the soil with seawater until the salt turned the entire region into a wasteland. I simply want to urge everyone to exercise extreme caution.

And there is one more thing: does anyone have experience using that unknown cream? It really helps me because the infection recedes, but I am fully aware of its carcinogenic reputation, yet I find myself completely unable to quit using it. I only used it on my face for four or five days, and the infection flared up by about 10% across my face. Now that I am back on it, things settle down within a few days. As for the rest of my body, those areas can handle it longer, but I have been relying on this cream for over a year now, and I honestly don't know what to do—how on earth am I supposed to break this habit?

And finally, just one last thought: Michelle Parker3 is asking how to go about securing medical leave. My advice is simple: just grab every single cent in the vault and run for the hills! Hahahaha!
As one of our members pointed out, we all need to share a little joke now and then.🙂
That is all for now; just remember to fight relentlessly and without mercy, and if you happen to recover by some miracle, please don't go crying over spilled milk or lost enemies.

I’ve been battling psoriasis since I was thirteen, and now that I’m twenty-three, I find myself facing several questions:
1) Has anyone here actually used BIOCIL oil before?
2) What is the best way to wean myself off corticosteroids—specifically that unknown cream containing desoximetasone? If I stop using it for even a few days, especially on my face, things take a turn for the worse, so I’m at a loss for what to do.

And finally, I have a rather scandalous suggestion: if you're looking for quick results, maybe consider a life of crime. I’m planning on starting to strip cars soon, and frankly, I couldn't care less about any moral lectures, though if anyone else is interested in that kind of thing, feel free to hit me up privately. My real question is, which models are the most profitable to dismantle, and what should I do with them afterward? My current plan is just to cut them up and sell them for parts or scrap metal, then trade all that cash for creams and lotions. Also, does anyone know anything about those specialized fish treatments? Is it true that a 21-day therapy session in San Francisco runs you about $1,200?
