Psoriasis [PLEASE READ FIRST POST!]

Hey everyone... does anyone here have any experience dealing with tattoos while managing psoriasis? I'm curious how those two things actually play together.

Honestly, you won't find a better or more unique tattoo than psoriasis. It’s basically the mother of all body art. 😬
Especially when it's spread out nice and wide. 👍It’s so impressive that people practically run the other way when they spot you.

Honestly, they just don't get along at all. It's pretty well known that psoriasis loves to flare up whenever there's any kind of skin injury, and let's face it—getting a tattoo is basically "slicing" into your skin.
I actually went ahead and got one on my back, and after just two days, the whole thing was completely covered in a psoriasis flare-up that followed the exact lines of the tattoo design.

The first decisive group of members from this forum have already picked up the ointment, and I am truly hoping they have begun their treatment. So, let us just wait a little longer—God willing—and then I hope they will be the ones sharing more updates than I am.

Hello everyone!
Since Michael Ramos3 himself mentioned that several forum members have already collected this miraculous ointment, I suggest we stop the back-and-forth arguments here on the forum. Instead, let’s wait for one of our long-standing members to chime in and confirm the results.
If that (God willing) miracle actually happens, I will be the first person to hop in my car and drive straight to Belgrade to see Michael Ramos3; I'll pay him full price for the ointment, and I'll buy his kids enough chocolate to make up for any trouble.
That is why I am calling out to those forum members who have already obtained the ointment—please, speak up!!!
Best regards!

😕 My sweat glands just don't work right—basically, I barely sweat at all. Anyone else dealing with this? Does having psoriasis mess with how things function like that?

I'm with you on that. Come on, let those of you who already snagged the ointment speak up so we actually know what's going on.

To all my fellow forum members out there battling psoriatic arthritis—how exactly does it show up for you? Because over this past year, it feels like every single bone in my body is absolutely killing me, and I mean that in the most literal sense... especially my joints, which, strangely enough, seem to be targeting nothing but my left arm and leg (!?), if you can even believe that. I’ve also started noticing that the pain just hits a whole new level whenever the weather shifts... for instance, today, I can barely even move myself from one spot to another. I’m under the impression that there isn't a magic cure out there, but is there any way at all to take the edge off this misery?

Michael Ramos3 said:Look, I’m a religious guy through and through... my faith colors everything I see and how I act. Honestly, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, just like I don't think there's anything wrong with someone being an atheist (as they call themselves)...
I also truly believe that having FAITH in self-healing is enough to get someone better—it really just comes down to belief, belief, and more belief in whatever path leads you toward your goal.
As for "advertising"... well, if I find something great or discover something life-changing, I have to share it! But the second you speak up publicly, people jump on you and call it an ad. So what, should we all just stay silent? If I say, "Hey, I was in San Francisco and met this guy named Peru who knows Mika, who makes this incredible sunscreen that gives you a tan instantly," well... okay! Now I'm "advertising" Peru, Mika, and their product. Typical...

Since the internet is such a massive, global thing, I want to make one thing clear: I don't feel like a guest here among you all. I'm keeping my right to not respond to nimbledriver81, because she’s back to talking about where God comes from, and let's be real, that's totally not what this forum is about...

Please, bear with me... I'm really hoping some of the veteran members of this forum will start posting more frequently than I do very soon...

And once again...

Best regards,

We aren't "atheists," we just aren't believers. And we are just regular people—the very same kind of people from whom you believers originally emerged long ago!!!

I'm right there with you. It’s the exact same story for me. They say psoriatic arthritis hits about 10% of people who have psoriasis. Usually, the joint issues stick to the hands and feet, but if things get serious, those larger joints start acting up too.
Common symptoms include: aching and swelling in the joints, just feeling generally lousy, and sometimes even running a fever.
As for treatment, I just grit my teeth and push through, taking oral painkillers or anti-rheumatics. You might be able to use some anti-rheumatic creams on the sore spots, but only if there aren't any active psoriasis lesions in that specific area.

Robert Clark2 said:I’m dealing with the exact same struggle; everything you described is hitting me too. Psoriatic arthritis is classified as its own distinct thing, affecting roughly 10% of those living with psoriasis. The joint issues usually settle in on the hands and feet, though in more severe cases, the larger joints get caught up in it as well.
The general symptoms include joint pain and swelling, a general sense of feeling just plain terrible, and sometimes even a fever.
As for treatment, I just try to endure the pain as best I can while taking oral analgesics or anti-rheumatics, though you could also apply an anti-rheumatic ointment to the affected area—provided there aren't any active psoriasis lesions right where you're applying it.

Ha! You wouldn't believe my luck... I manage to catch a condition that hits less than 10% of the population, and then I go and get a secondary one that affects 10% of the psoriasis community... am I extremely lucky or what?

Thanks for the reply and the advice, though I honestly don't think I'll be touching any pills; I have a massive aversion to them, and my stomach can barely handle them anyway, so I suppose I'm left with creams and ointments... damn it, my feet are hurting too, and there really is nothing worse than not being able to walk normally... a stiff neck is one thing, I can deal with that, but this...

Anyway, I guess it's straight to the drugstore for some Deep Relief... or something like that...

What are actually the best pills for psoriasis?😕

I've got psoriasis, so I'm in the same boat.
In my opinion, you have to tackle psoriasis from both sides—inside and out—but the internal stuff is what really matters.
If psoriasis is basically just the immune system overproducing cells because it's getting the wrong "feedback," then logically, we need to find a way to fix that feedback loop at the source.
Setting aside steroid-based creams for a moment (because I don't want to make things worse), I’m curious if anyone here knows anything about other types of treatments.
I stumbled upon a website for a specialist and had a chat with him about managing this. He mentioned that as long as the patient isn't diabetic, certain options work, and he listed a few medications, one of which was MGN3. Since I'm no expert, I was hoping someone could help me figure out if that specific one is steroid-based or not.
Thanks in advance.

Your dermatologist really needs to be the one to decide if you even need them. Honestly? If they aren't absolutely necessary, just skip them. There isn't really a "magic pill" out there.
Just search Google forGoogleANTIPSORIJATICI and you'll find plenty of info.

In its most mild stage, it shows up on the elbows and the temples.
It’s not that big of a deal, honestly—I've finally made my peace with it.
Getting some sun really does wonders for me!
Has anyone here actually dealt with psoriasis personally, or maybe known someone who managed to get it under control? I’m talking about truly clearing it up, even if it's just for a while.
Is it even possible to get this under control for a few years so that it doesn't keep coming back?

It can be cured given enough time, but otherwise, it's a condition carried in your genes—the scales and redness are just how it shows up on the surface.🙄
There’s this one topical treatment you can apply to your skin and even ingest—it's loaded with B vitamins and actually works to clear things up for the long haul.👍

Watching some videos on this forum, I noticed a lot of people deal with arthritis too. I asked my dad how he managed it back when he was struggling with psoriasis.
Unfortunately, he told me that even though his psoriasis is IZLEČEN, the joint pain never really went away. His only advice? Do some basic stretching exercises every single morning and make sure you hit a specialized spa for bone health at least once a year.

Best,

Man, if it were as easy as changing a lightbulb, we'd be set by now...
Scientists have spent decades trying to crack the code on how different diseases actually work. You might forget (or maybe you just didn't know!) that it was only about 50 years ago that we finally mapped out DNA structure, and only after that did we realize certain segments are genes and so on...
Science has come a long way since then, but unfortunately, not quite far enough to fix faulty genes yet. Sadly...

I've been dealing with psoriasis for ten years now, and over that time, I've read basically everything under the sun about it. But I only recently found the simplest way to explain it to people who ask what it actually is: It’s basically a glitchy gene responsible for skin renewal. A healthy person replaces their skin every 28 days, but someone with psoriasis does it every 3 to 4 days. Because the old layers of skin don't get a chance to shed fast enough, they just pile up and create those flakes ☕
It's pretty straightforward 😳

I truly believe that whoever finally deciphers this disease and fixes that genetic defect will win a Nobel prize 🙏

In the meantime, I'll just be doing what all of you are—doing my best with the tools I've got 😁
At least we can all count on having strong immune systems! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Michael Ramos3 said:Watching the videos on this forum, I noticed that quite a few people suffer from arthritis as well. I decided to ask my father how he managed those joint pains back when he was dealing with psoriasis.
Regrettably, his answer was that even though he is IZLEČEN, the joint pain persists. He offers you just one piece of advice: perform some light stretching exercises every single morning, and make sure to visit a specialized health spa at least once a year to help your bones.

Regards,

I remember reading somewhere that when psoriasis clears up, the arthritis often retreats along with it, but unfortunately—much like your father's experience—that simply isn't the case for me...
I have been "clear" for a full year now (aside from some occasional flare-ups on my scalp, though truly in negligible amounts), yet the arthritis remains... I am currently relying on tablets, which helps quite a bit, but how long can one sustain that? 😢

Still haven't seen anyone post about that ointment from "Michael Ramos3"... I mean, did anybody even bother to buy it?

The sooner we accept that it's incurable, the faster we'll hit remission... ☕

Exactly. I felt a hundred times better once I finally accepted the reality and actually started looking into the condition properly.👍
