That’s the same as me. I also have psoriasis. My derm told me straight up, DO NOT GET THE VACCINE. Or even a flu shot. Not so much because of the psoriasis but the meds I am on for it. I took Otezla and it worked great then it started coming back but it was when I was getting covid. So I switched to Enbrel injections and it don’t work as well. But she said taking the Enbrel lowers your immune system and you could have nasty reaction from the vaccine.. I wish I could go back to otezla because it clears me completely. But it made me dizzy for about a hour and makes my hands shake for about 3 hours. Enbrel so far has no side effects but after 4 months only about 75% clear. My wife has lupus and can’t get the vaccine either.

Brother, my heart goes out to you. My psoriasis is not that bad. It covers my hands every three to four weeks and I use a steroid cream which pretty much takes care of it.

I’ve only had this about seven years. Used to get it on my feet before I knew what it was. Now it seems the more stressed I am the more outbreaks I have. Have had a new job about 18 months and the stress level can be very high. Outbreaks more common now.

I have seen photos and read about people with serious cases and I pray I am not headed down that path. It just looks terrible.
