i got it from being over stressed. stress seems to be a part of my life. i started 3 years ago with psoriasis. i am trying everything for my scalp. if i could keep my hands tied i would be okay. i use somethings on a regular basis. i am helping to build up my immune system by taking a mixture of bee pollen, royal jelly and propulis. it seems to be helping my energy level. i hope it is helping my immune system. i added this to my morning vitamins about a month ago and it truly seems to help me with my energy. i have psoriasis on my legs, sides, stomach, back and arms. i was trying a new "super cream" for psoriasis to help calm it down and it has helped also but it is so expensive and my psoriasis is so extensive i can't afford to buy more than one tube every couple months. i can't seem to get stress out of my life. wish i could, but i have responsibilities that i can't just give up. my advice to psoriasis sufferers is don't worry what it looks like. wear what you want. i do. keep trying new things but give them at least 1month to 6 weeks for one item. don't try too many at one time or you won't know which one is working. hang in there. it is going to get better.
