So I've had psoriasis since I was 5, but it has never been as that bad until about 4 years ago. On another biologic to see if it works 🤞🏻

Be keen to hear from anyone else who has it what they are on/has tried and helped.

Also, how has your psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis affected your swinging? I get really self conscious when the flare up is bad.

We’re waiting for Ben’s first biological meds, a long wait list here after years of trying and failing treatments. Methotrexate worked to reduce it for a while but his organs didn’t like it so came off while we wait for the biologicals. It’s probably the worst it’s ever been atm, really painful - especially as he works outside. With that a lot of bleeding.

He’s really self conscious about it and someone asked at a club whether he’d be in the dungeon because they thought it was welts from a spanking.

Other than that it doesn’t affect us too much because I’m there bigging him up but it does affect his confidence and he’s conscious of flakiness 😔

I’ve had a patch on my right shin and a bit on each knee. For me stress or anxiety doesn’t help and having autistic traits becomes something of a vicious circle.

On bad days it can appear under some of my nails…it gets me down and depressed at times.

I feel you with that, I came of the methotrexate as it just made me ill and kept having to get called into hospital for tests. It has taken years where I am to even get started on the biologics and now I'm on to my 2nd one. First helped with the arthritis but not the skin.

Sorry to hear someone asked him that about his skin, it seems to be what most idiots pick on here when I get a shitty message.

Hope you get the biologics sorted soon ☺️

I get it under my nails too, once described it as feeling like my nail beds are being stabbed to someone at work and they just looked confused at how it could hurt.

Hopefully you have some good friends (fab or otherwise) to help you through it ☺️

I really feel for all of you who suffer with this. I’ve had mild eczema most of my life and hate it when it flares up in visible areas. I find it can be very depressing, uncomfortable and embarrassing.

Wishing you all good health and hope it doesn’t get in the way of your fun times!

Hi ive also got both.. im now on Pyzchive ( ustekinumab) 90mg every 12 weeks. Has helped with the arthritis. Ive tried multiable things over the years.still have bad days but nowhere near as bad so yes it helps.. the psoriasis ive lost count of different creams but best by far is Enstilar foam wish i found it years ago..speak to your dr but you have to keep doing it but it works.. and to cover ip i use a finish concealer from mac and they get the best match for your skin type and blends right in.. they also keep the details of item with your details so you can go in and get more. Hope this helps need anymore info feeel free to ask. Good luck

I’ve suffered for years trying everything I swear by enstilar spray it’s excellent at getting rid of the scales I tend to use the sunbed which helps keep it under control but when it flares I get soo self conscious luckily we’ve not came across anyone that’s said anything about it x

Thanks everyone, I don't know anyone else in person who has either so it is good to hear from you all 😊

For anyone concerned, I've been sewing a doctor and a dermatologist for this since I was 5 so all good there, just funny how something works for so long then it doesn't.

Just been feeling really conscious about it these past few weeks as the flare up is so bad.

I've had psoriasis since I was 7, I've had multiple hospital stays as a child, and one as a 20+ year old. Had a good stint on methotrexate for about 8 months. and pretty much have had something on show all the time.

I did 25 years in the army, (where the army dematolgist said I would never promote.). I left the army at the highest rank without commissioning, proving them all wrong.

And 3 months after leaving, I was completely clear.... turns out the stress of the army was flaring my skin up.

I now use Enstillar spray for my minor flares. I hate the ointments, and the creams dissapear to quickly. so this meets half way.

I’ve had psoriasis since a kid and psoriatic arthritis since in my 20s.

I’m on methotrexate and adalimumbab which pretty much keeps everything at bay.

Elbows & on my scalp are where it gets me the most, luckily not had a major flare up for a while though.

It’s not affected my swinging at all, only my fwb has seen me when it’s flared though. If it’s really bad, I’ve used dovobet to calm it in run up to events etc x

I use it and have never had any problems with it. I’d give it a try and see if it works for you.

Some it does, some it doesn’t. I’ve literally never felt sick whether taking it in the morning or night etc. but if I take it in the morning, I am exhausted at night.

D has psoriasis and it never ceases to impress me at clubs and even in Cap how he owns it..

We've had the comments that I should take it easy with the paddle etc (unlikely 😉)

People in vanilla life making assumptions he doesn't wash enough or is an alcoholic as his face reddens occasionally in areas.

He has had and now refuses the steroid ointments, suffered skin thinning and now uses coconut oil for longer easing of flair ups, but as a poster above mentioned his is stress cortisol related we feel and we're looking at ways to help that ATM.

His worst thing is in his ears, where you are damned if you do, dammed if you don't with trying to manage it while avoiding ear infections, which are quite common.

To me he's still fucking sexy!! 😈🔥

He actually thanks it in a way as people don't believe he's any older than me, basically because he can't remember not being able to get away without moisturising, but it can really affect people's confidence and I think that's probably worse than the discomfort for many.

We'll be looking at some of the contributions with interest and thank you all for the honesty!

Keep naughty 😘

Like you had it since childhood as you know they try all sorts of lotions and potions been in hospital many times.

The light treatment helps for short while but comes back.

I was on tablets for long time cannot recall name tbh then they put me on injections and generally help downside are nausea the injections are also used for chemo

Currently on WEGENSY or name like that

Mr here. I had no skin issue until I hit 30. Then psoriasis came in my hair, ears, elbows, back, groin, knees and shins. It took two years for the GP to come up with the psoriasis diagnosis, they even had an underlined note stating that it was "not psoriasis".

I have steroid creams and moisturisers. They don't fix the issue but they keep it at bay. My hair cleared up, possibly made easier by shaving my head. The groin and butt crack are the worst for me. Sex has been off the cards a few times.

I was self conscious with it in hair as people assume it was dandruff or even ringworm

Totally with you on the methotrexate, it's a horrible med, wipes you out and horrible nausea, I was prescribed it for arthritis but took my self of it, managed to get on Amjavita which is brilliant no side affects and no joint pain, I believe it also works on skin conditions.. enquire and see what they docs say.

I have found this thread very interesting. I had psoriasis for as long as I can remember. Then 10 years ago my brother died suddenly I devastated we suffered extreme children abuse as children together, he was my witness as I was his. At this time my uncle our abuser contacted the family saying he wanted to attend the funeral! I didn't want that nor did my late brother partner. We conceded if he wanted to pay his respects then do so but then fuck off. He attended the funeral but gloated and didn't seem at all remorseful about his abuse of us. I drank too much and the next morning report the ra£e and abuse of 40 odd years ago. The police were supportive and the CPS prosecuted, eventhough the msin victim was dead. He eventually received 14 yrs in jail. What surprised me and still does was that psoriasis on both calfs of legs had completely cleared in about 18th months from my brothers death to sentencing. I so glad it has I have cut ties with my family now as they were not at all supportive . Just not sure of the reasons of the clearance.

I’m so sorry to read about the loss of your brother and for the abuse you both suffered. Absolutely amazing you felt able to report it and that CPS prosecuted - and he got the time he deserved! I’m sorry your family weren’t supportive - fuck them! Psoriasis can be triggered by stress, maybe the weight lifted meant your nervous system was able to settle down and the autoimmune issue cleared? Interesting!

I started with psoriasis as a teenager, initially a couple of small patches on my knee and elbows which in my 20s had gone worse with patches on my shins, in and behind my ears, in my scalp, on my balls and then on my back and stomach. Doctors prescribed me all the usual treatments, coal tar ointments, steroids, different drugs which helped a little but never cleared it up. By my late 20s I was suffering badly with psoriatic arthritis, more trials of different drugs for a number of years until I was put on methotrexate. I was quickly taken off that as my blood tests weren’t good and finally was put on biologics. The arthritis had got that bad that I’d had to take time off work and I was getting to the point where I was worried I would have to give up work. I am now on a fortnightly injection of amgevita and within a month or two of taking it I improved unbelievably. The arthritis is now gone and I am completely clear of psoriasis. I still get the odd ache and pain but I put that down to the fact I am getting older and not to arthritis lol. Amgevita really has been a miracle drug for me and improved my life considerably.

.

Methotrexate I was on for few years and despite the side effects it helped, however it became less effective and now on injections called Wezegny.

To compound this I had Sepsis and very lucky to be here and had numerous episodes since.

My immune system in effect looked any infection is a danger timing is key.

I've suffered since I was 13, it's ruined alot of aspects of my life in the past. Still some now. Currently using Enstiller foam which helps but soon comes back once I stop.

Currently on a auto immune suppressant also. 'Cyclosporine' was on methotrexate before that but kept going light headed and suffering vertigo!

Not a fun condition. Also gets in the way of enjoying this site at times!!

I know some people that do have it and is of course affecting their confidence etc.

Some people claim that it's all to do with the gut health and foods which promote inflammatory response from the immune system.

I do believe that is the case, especially as most Gap's give you steroids creams just to make it look better...they cover the symptom, but never cure the cause. Try isolating foods, or go gluten, carb and lactose free for a couple of months...

All the best.

A long term psoriasis sufferer here. Had it for years. Tried various lotion and potions and creams. Nothing seems to shift. It keeps it from getting worse but doesn't seem to actually get better. Then I discovered holidays. Sun and UV. Want away 4 times last year . And the smaller less developed patches. Gone. The longer crustier patch if you like were better for a while. So much so. After chatting to the hospital and doctor I've been and purchased a UV machine so I can sit and zap myself at home. Defo seems to be working for me.. so far

They monitor bloods very well on this so any changes and they pull you off the meds very quickly. Don’t think I lasted 1 week on methotrexate

You could consider a liver and gall bladder flush. Almost every person with a skin disease also has intestinal problems and impure blood. These are mainly caused by gallstones in the gallbladder and liver which can cause problems with the lymphatic system, skin and other dis-ease etc etc. Nothing to loose by trying it. ,🙏

Mines tends to flare up when I'm stressed as i have a small patch on my chest but it's mostly on my elbows and shins.

When it comes to bedroom activities i try go with positions that don't involve me leaning on those areas if possible but if not make sure it's not long which means I'll switch positions

Would you mind telling us make/model of the machine you bought please? I get some patches which are well controlled with betnovate. But l agree with you that sunshine is the best medicine I’ve found. Which gives a nice reason to visit a nudist beach.

Hey OP

I have had Psoriasis all my life and Psoriatic Arthritis the past 10 years...

My skin isn't bad anymore just my scalp on occasion but I'm in constant pain with my arthritis which I manage with over the counter meds. I have been prescribed many different meds over the years but find your body becomes immune to steroid creams etc over time.

The best natural cure (I have consistently found) as mentioned above is the sun. You are what you eat also...lots of foods can cause flare ups...dairy, wheat, tomatoes and peppers. Assessing your diet is worth a try.

Stress is a constant flare up factor too.

Get yourself on a Winter sun holiday...get to GC (sun on your bones and swinging if you want) Alternatively, investigate doing some UVB lamps in the hospital.

Best of luck!

"You could consider a liver and gall bladder flush. Almost every person with a skin disease also has intestinal problems and impure blood. These are mainly caused by gallstones in the gallbladder and liver which can cause problems with the lymphatic system, skin and other dis-ease etc etc. Nothing to loose by trying it. ,🙏"

Don't you think that doctors dermatologists would recommend this? They haven't cause it's not been proven to work.

When the liver is congested it's unable to do its job properly, including keeping the lymphatic system clear. There are many things the medical industry don't tell, they would loose customers if they did. Just because they haven't mentioned it doesn't mean it doesn't work does it? I used to get patches on my chest, legs and one arm, all gone, my daughter no longer has eczema which she's had since a child. It's up to you, keep listening to your GP etc that's obviously helped so much that your all taking pharma medication that isn't working and your all moaning about side affects. The liver and gall bladder flush uses no medication. Enjoy your suffering.

Also, how has your psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis affected your swinging? I get really self conscious when the flare up is bad. "

Stress is a factor, use simple soaps and shampoo, expensive ones have to much perfume in which aggravates it. Apply moisturizer twice a day, rub a small amount in thoroughly. See a skin specialist not a GP it makes a world of difference. I was very bad in my twenties but now can easily control it, drugs do not work. Bath or shower daily and steer clear of strong aftershave and washing powder..I use SMOL.

I am prescribed Enstilar and it works well for me

Definitely helping me fight the battle with a patch on my right shin that I’ve had for goodness knows how long now

I know every case is different but if anyone hasn’t used this then definitely ask the doctor for it.

In saying that the doctor didn’t prescribe this for me I only got it after going to a skin specialist at the hospital for a better diagnosis as the doctors would only give me the usual soaps n creams i basically told the doctors I’ve had enough after trying everything I wanted to see someone with more specific skills than a gp for this

Hi im also a long time sufferer but iv found a few tricks that knock back the flare ups..finding out what causes them is a must and avoid that food drink..detox the body with dandoline tea..anti toxin anti cancer..and also wormwood and clove tea anti parasitic..these help keep the inside clean.. dovobet gel is a steorid cream that heals the skin and works great to reduce itch and sore skin..and UV light treatment too is great..but if using a sunbed only use like 3 mins at a time over a few days..its great and it works brilliant for me but if sensitive will burn if you stay on it too long. Slow and steady at the start..hope it helps

Methotrexate has been a game changer for my other half you have to have regualblood teat to check liver function you need to watch what you drink and stay out of the sun or make sure you wear a strong sun cream if you do go out in it.

I was diagnosed at 27. Told it was the hormone imbalance from having a baby (3years prior.)

I was head to toe and worked with the public so unsolicited advice was constant, as was the judgement. Enstillar and Light treatment worked to take the edge off. But overall biologics have saved me! You would have no idea I ever suffered and it’s 6years on. I recognise the start of a stress flare or find when my arthritis is bad my skin will flare too. But it’s manageable.

I truly believe over coming it has made my confidence grow 10 fold! Especially towards the lifestyle.

Hope you all find some support and methods that help you enjoy life! Xx

"We’re waiting for Ben’s first biological meds, a long wait list here after years of trying and failing treatments. Methotrexate worked to reduce it for a while but his organs didn’t like it so came off while we wait for the biologicals. It’s probably the worst it’s ever been atm, really painful - especially as he works outside. With that a lot of bleeding.

He’s really self conscious about it and someone asked at a club whether he’d be in the dungeon because they thought it was welts from a spanking.

Other than that it doesn’t affect us too much because I’m there bigging him up but it does affect his confidence and he’s conscious of flakiness 😔 "

I hope the biologics work for your hubby as well as they did on my daughter's severe eczema -completely cleared it. She also was on methotrexate before.

There are quite a few different formulas out now,cosentyx is one, skyrizi another, but there are others, if you have been through the lotions, potions and tablets your specialist will advise you, been on biologics for a good few years now and went from acute plaque on every joint and torso and legs to a slight red spot about the size of a 2p on my ankle, keep trying as my specialist has said that can be effective for years and the beast that is psoriasis will find a way to break out again but there are different formulas that can be tried, I think it is 5 or 6 years on biologics for me now and no apparent side effects for me, the 3 different types tablets are now just a memory as they don't do your kidneys and liver any good as I'm sure you are aware if been on them for years, keep in contact with your specialist or the nurse dealing with your case and you will find the best option for yourself, keep at it as the biologics are changing and developing all the time

It’s Mr here - I’ve had psoriasis for at least 20years.

Have been on and off with the creams and steroid ointments - largely off I have to admit as they didn’t really make a sustained improvement.

Sun and sea always has a hugely positive impact as others have said.

Having recently now been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis- just in my knees currently - I’m in my second week of methotrexate and Prednisolone.

Initially I was really concerned about the side effects. And my first week I was really washed out for the first 4 days with really bad headaches, sensitivity to light, and a feeling of nausea. Not surprisingly my appetite was zero.

I was dreading taking the second lot of 10 methotrexate tablets on monday. But I have to say I’ve not suffered the same side effects at the first week. Pretty much nothing in fact. I do notice i feel thirsty and I’m drinking a lot of water. And my teste for tea and coffee has left me completely which is probably not a bad thing. And importantly- my knees feel back to normal

I've had severe eczema since i was born. The worst parts have migrated over my body of the years, back, face, arms, legs, body ... then settled on my hands about 16 years ago and can get extreme.

My current situaton is that i have tried every available drug/cream/puva/herbal/concoction known to man and nothing ever worked.

I got given an injection called a Kenalog injection which was absolute magic .. everything cleared up in 2 days.

I went back the hospital made up and asked to just keep getting that and they told me i will never get it again as it usually used as an end of life medication.

I see some people tried methotrexate which did not work for me .. then all of a sudden i was offered a methotrexate injection instead ... after a few weeks this started to work and the open sores on my hands closed, i then just maintined with moisturisers etc.

As i've had this since i was born, I've been to so many medical appointments and done endless research i feel like an expert ha!

I am currently in the middle of building a new app for eczema/psoriasis which will contain a "communinty" where people can speak with others about their experience .. amongst alot of amazing features.

So if anyone wants to ask any questions about tablets/injections send me a DM as i've been on them all.

Fingers crossed for you with the methotrexate. I’m on week 3 of it and I’ve been fine.

Week 1 was awful but I begin to wonder if that was more because I maybe picked up one if the many bugs that seem to have been doing the rounds. Weeks 2 and 3 have been absolutely fine. Yet to gave results of blood tests to see how kidneys and liver are coping.

My psoriasis has stayed pretty clear we it’s little zero base and zero dovobet. And my knees ( psoriatic arthritis there being the reason for the medication) has completely cleared up.

We've had the comments that I should take it easy with the paddle etc (unlikely 😉)

People in vanilla life making assumptions he doesn't wash enough or is an alcoholic as his face reddens occasionally in areas.

He has had and now refuses the steroid ointments, suffered skin thinning and now uses coconut oil for longer easing of flair ups, but as a poster above mentioned his is stress cortisol related we feel and we're looking at ways to help that ATM.

His worst thing is in his ears, where you are damned if you do, dammed if you don't with trying to manage it while avoiding ear infections, which are quite common.

To me he's still fucking sexy!! 😈🔥

He actually thanks it in a way as people don't believe he's any older than me, basically because he can't remember not being able to get away without moisturising, but it can really affect people's confidence and I think that's probably worse than the discomfort for many.

We'll be looking at some of the contributions with interest and thank you all for the honesty!
