[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 681554, member: 17461"] Hello, everybody. And to those who read this thread in future, looking for help for someone they love. Newest: Tri-Derma Medical Strength Psorisis Control Bought at WalMart. This is the creme that, in addition to the prescription medications but only as needed, works best for D H. Maybe, the prescription creams are too strong and set up a kind of allergic response of their own, we are thinking. This creme leaves his skin soft and moisturized. Keeping the skin moist and healthy so it would stay intact was at least half the battle. Borage Oil / Dead Sea Salt Scrub The borage oil has been helpful. D H used it externally in a salt scrub and as a moisturizer, and took it internally as well. In capsule form. Borage is said to contain GLA, an essential fatty acid. For those in whom psoriasis is connected to a deficiency in GLA, borage, evening primrose, or hemp oil supplementation may be helpful. [URL]http://draxe.com/borage-oil/[/URL] Prednisone This is nasty, nasty stuff. It did stop the reaction. D H needed to use it twice and it was prescribed a third time, but so far, he is managing without having had to resort to prednisone again. It resulted in essential tremor, fogginess, a kind of helpless irritability seemingly separate from the challenges of the psoriatic outbreak. This has been one of the worst things that have happened to us. Think carefully before vaccinations. It was a pneumonia vaccine, not a flu vaccine, that may probably have set this off. Diet seems not to have played too much a part for D H. Blood pressure medications have the potential for causing or exacerbating psoriasis. Thanks to all who have helped me think this through, and who have shared your own hard-won knowledge. I had a discussion with someone who was certain genetic modification of our food supplies beginning in the 60s has much to do with all auto-immune issues. Each of us responds differently. If you are dealing with auto-immune issues, Dr Weil has an online diet and menu which might make changing our eating patterns less stressful.
