<p>Hello,</p> <p>I am 32 years old and have had psoriasis since I was 21. This was the first year where I accepted the use of rx creams for my psoriasis. I noticed little improvements and not that great. Since I was 21 there has only been one year in which I was psoriasis free throughout the winter. I was 24 and in the military. First let me say this story combines the end of one winter and full next year winter. I went down to Yuma Az. in the April with very bad psoriasis from that winter, I live in New England and within two weeks and this was wearing pants and long sleeve shirts all the time my psoriasis completely cleared as well as warts on my hand had disappeared. The next winter I was in Iraq, and I never got psoriasis. I was very stressed out, the temperature would get down below freezing, the water for showers was diluted in chlorine. I know the dessert does wonders for my skin, the dry heat, with lots of sunshine probably helped, as did my diet. I only drank bottled water over there, I ate a diet high in fish, meat, veggie, and fruit. I drank tea and not coffee. I exercised whenever I could to stay sane, I was in the best shape of my life. I took protein and amino supplements. My life style in my earlier years had been very bad. I was overweight, drank excessively, smoked a lot of cigarettes, and ate horribly. I had always blamed this for my psoriasis. Now I am smoke free, alcohol free, still over weight but with quitting the drinking I think I will be better. I am going to try the paleo style as I believe in this diet.I cannot argue it. With psoraisis it is triggered for different reasons from person to person. I struggle everyday with mine and it has had a major impact on my life. Try as many things as you can and stay positive. You are all my brothers and my sisters and I hope you all the best as we deal with this disease everyday.</p>
