There are some great answers here. I loved all the feed-back. I got psoriasis in 1963. I was 5 years old. I was 70 to 80% covered a lot of my life. No, it didn't kill me, but there were times I wish I wasn't here.

I started having problems with PsA at 25, but the doctors said the pain I was having was all in my head. That's another whole story. I finally got diagnosed at the age of 50.

It’s hard to understand what it’s like to live with chronic illness unless you’ve been there. We have pain, depression, loniness, etc. To be frank, it’s a lot.

I just wanted to add that I know I am no longer alone with this illness. I have a tribe of people who support me. I used to compare myself to other people. That's another story, but I did give that up.

I had to focus on my quality of life, not how others think I should looked what I should wear to cover up becasue "they" were embarassed of me.

My illness made me stronger and I stop letting it define me!! We are all in this together.

We got this!!!!

Inherited than actiavated by stress!

It is an auto immune disease. I am told it is genetic.

I think both viruses & vaccines activate autoimmune diseases. Used to think it was was just viruses but starting to think it might be both. But I already had psoriasis & PsA plus I refused the vaxx
