Sad and desperate! 7 years of psoriasis, 1 year of alternative treatment, and it just gets WORSE :(

I'm not a needy person. I just want to be a normal 18 year old who doesn't have to worry about scales on her skin. I've had Psoriasis on my scalp since I was 11 and when it spread to my face and body a year ago I decided to try alternatives to medication.

I gave up sugar, dairy, gluten, red meat, and processed food. I tried cleanses (juice cleanse, master cleanse, candida cleanse) which never lasted for more than a few days, aside from the candida diet which I did for 3 weeks. I've spent most of the money I have on supplements--including multivitamins, super potent vitamin d, probiotics, lecithin, evening primrose oil, fish oil, oregano oil, garlic oil, turmeric, milk thistle, and digestive enzymes (all of which I'm still taking every day). I also have pau'darco tea with slippery elm in it every night as well as hot lemon water, Braggs apple cider vinegar, and organic extra virgin coconut oil every morning. The grocery bill is ridiculous with an all organic price tag on everything.

I exercise 4-5 times a week. I oil pull with cold pressed organic sesame oil almost every day. I try to meditate when I can--as much as a busy college student possibly can. I scrub clean my shower every week in case of mold. I'll see a few days where some spots improve, and then a few days after that they'll go back to their normal state. Even worse, recently a lot of new spots have been popping up and expanding.

I'm horrified. I've done EVERYTHING I possibly can to heal my body so I can kick this awful thing to the curb. I'm the healthiest I've ever been, and yet I feel the worst. I've cancelled all the plans I've made for the past 6 months because it's been so bad. When I go to class I hide behind a hat or a hoodie. I hate it.

I just want to get better. Please help me. Anything and everything you can offer to help me get rid of this would be appreciated. I know people have it worse. But this has shattered my confidence and is making it hard to live like a normal person my age should. Please help. Tweet
