Will have a look at the Oregon Grape Root stuff Silverlady thank you! Stellajane.. I had blood tests recently, no diabetes but my husband is diabetic so I know the signs to look for. For me, my guess is that like my vaginal dryness, content urination, hair loss and dry skin, the psoriasis is probably meno related although I accept that I have had severe stress in the last 6 months. I have a GP appointment on Monday AM so I am thinking she might well send me somewhere. We will see! From what I have read, most people seem to have better luck with psoriasis when they work out treatment themselves!
