I have had scalp Ps my entire life. It was always manageable with topical creams and shampoos. After my son was born in 2008 my hormone Imbalance and postpartum stress caused a severe flare and I developed PsA. Since then I have tried almost every biologic that there is (save 3) and during my event last year I test drove a couple for eczema too. Just like you, they all work for a period of time then they stop being effective. Oh and to complicate things even more, I am in perimenopause. I experienced a terrible allergic reaction from Humira last Spring. These things always happen in the spring . I broke out in a full body rash, scalp was so angry hot and weepy, I lost half of my hair and danced a few months with eczema. The itch of eczema is horrendous! 5 months post my “event” my body is back to Ps on my scalp and PsA in my joints. I was prescribed Sotyktu today after swearing I was quitting everything again. I’ve made some changes to my diet. I’m taking an appropriate probiotics, adding other anti inflammatory things but there has been no notable improvement. I’ll keep at it. Waking every day and strength training. You must move!! If anyone asks me what it’s like living with Ps I tell them that it’s like your body is screaming for attention all the time. The constant sensation is maddening. We are all searching for the stillness. For the comfort of our bodies being quiet. I told my dermatologist today that I’m not ready to give up. I’ve got too much life to live to always be miserable. I’ll keep trying things as they come available because I’m always going to seek the calm that my body and my mind so desperately needs. Keep going friends!

New to this forum.... Wanted to ask if anyone else has had blood work done..... And is your white blood cell count elevated due to having psoriasis. I just got my blood work back and it's kind of high... Just trying to get a general consensus on if it's common for everyone. Seeing my PCP on Tuesday of next week to review everything.... Just a little nervous I'll feedback welcome

Hi everyone- I’m a newbie here and happy to find a welcoming community! Ever since I got scalp psoriasis (approx 1 year ago) my thin hair has got noticeably thinner 😬 Is it because of the psoriasis directly, all the scratching (which I have better control of but not perfect) or the occasional steroid application? Would appreciate your input and suggestions on how to control the itchy!!! I don’t have plaques- just bone dry white dandruff like scalp. Thank you! 🙏
