Vitamin D3

My story. I’m 42 and have had psoriasis since I was 5 after getting my ears pierced. Suffered in my scalp torso and in ears. It would worsen during pregnancy and after. I eat fairly healthy and am thin. I got to the point I figured there was nothing else to do but live (suffer) with it the rest of my life. But wait things began to unexpectedly change this year 2021. In January I had blood work done revealing low D levels so I started two things in January: Began taking a D3 supplement and removed gluten. Things got worse with flares and spots began to expand and connect with each other. Also red and itchy.l for about 8 months. Then when things hit a peak it miraculously began clearing somewhat slow and then rapidly. It’s amazing my belly has about 5% left and a huge lesson on back is lightening and fadding. I think it would be worth a try for others.

  1. Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience, . I can hear how difficult and frustrating it was for you up until this past year. I am so glad that you've had some positive results with taking vitamin D3 supplements and going gluten free. How great to be experiences such relief! We do have a couple articles on the impact of vitamin D and psoriasis that I'll link here in case you (or anyone else reading your story) are interested in more information, https://plaquepsoriasis.com/living/vitamin-d-natural-remedyhttps://plaquepsoriasis.com/living/taking-vitamin-d Also, so many people in our community have found making dietary changes helpful in their psoriasis symptoms as well. And, although it's not always going gluten free, gluten does seem to be a trigger for many people here. We really appreciate you joining the conversation here and sharing with us. Wishing you continued relief! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
