I can only find it on the internet from pharmacy sites in Australia... I bet that is where you live ? I haven't heard any results from the rast test i took,,, however i did do my own test...i do that alot, :),, anyway i ate a pkg of marshmallows in 2 days and it made my hand break out. it only takes 12 hours.. corn syrup being the main ingredient... so i believe i have a corn problem.. which is ok,, as long as i stay away from it my hands keep pretty clear. i haven't had any popcorn for months, or corn snacks.. i think i might indulge on new years eve just to see what happens :) <!--more--> Kerry Hi Wendy - -

I tried every diet, lotion and potion both via scripts from my Doc and on advice from Naturopaths etc. I also took methotrexate as a last resort but took myself of this after 8 months. (My Derm was appalled and was more appalled when I told him where to go literally. Dollars and more dollars down the drain.) With this type of psoriasis I also had a slight fever and just felt hot all the time:-(not menopausal this I went through at 40.) I used to cover my feet and hands in cortisone ointment then wrap them in cling wrap over night as they were so dry and apparently this also helped the cortisone to be abosrbed into the skin. After the skin dried out it became like old leather so I used a pumice stone on the skin "very gently" with my morning shower. <!--more--> One thing that helped me as I discovered was taking paracetamol to help cope with the fever, inflammation and constant itching. I was looking on the shelves of our local chemist for anything new in the way of psoriasis cream and discovered a cream called John Plunkett Psor-Asist Cream. I purchased a 100g jar of this and thought here we go again more money down the drain. But no this cream actually worked for me. After 4 days the small yellow pustules abated and the inflammation certainly was no where near as bad as it had been. Now after 6 months I use the cream once a day on my feet which still "dry out" and look red, after my morning use of the pumice stone in the shower. My hands have totally cleared up. May be I have just been very lucky in finding this product. A great relief was actually exfoliating the skin and getting rid of that "tightness" as I call it.

There are books out there that can aid you with your diet, however I have found that I need to eat healthly veges, some fruit and small amounts of meat works best for me. Also plenty of water 2-4 litres a day. Regards, Nat I have discovered through trial and error that popcorn, cornflakes, any kind of snack chips with corn make it flare up..
