Hi, I've had relatively mild psoriasis since age 12 on my scalp, elbows, face, ears, spine and a few random patches. In recent years I've had some big flare ups and also been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (psa). The psa causes pain most often in the joints of my hands and feet and hip but can go into my knees. Clicky jaw may or may not be related...

I enjoy being outdoors, doing yoga, walking, swimming, meditating and making up crazy recipes to cater for my diet. I am vegan and gluten free anyway but now also avoid nightshade vegetables, too much sugar and too much alcohol to help control my psoriasis. I am interested in natural healing and avoid steroids and other drugs as much as possible.
