Natural psoriasis treatments improve quality of life for sufferers By: Gloria MacTaggart Although psoriasis is not a life-threatening disease, it's still one that takes its toll on the quality of life of the victim. Psoriasis Treatments like shielding lotions may help improve the quality of life of sufferers by sealing in the healing moisture and keeping irritants at bay. According to a survey done by the National Psoriasis Foundation 75 percent of people with moderate to severe psoriasis report that their disease has a moderate to large impact on their everyday lives: - 26 percent alter their normal daily activities - 21 percent stop their normal daily activities - 40 percent say their psoriasis affects their clothing choices (avoiding dark colors, covering up arms and legs) - 36 percent say it affects how they sleep - 36 percent report bathing more than normal Psoriasis doesn't discriminate. It is a chronic skin disease affecting 2.1 percent of the U.S. population - more than 4.5 million adults in the United States. It is found in all age groups, and men and women are equally likely to get it. Most people have the first symptoms between the ages of 20 to 30 years old. There are several types of psoriasis, ranging from mild forms on restricted skin areas to severe forms covering the entire skin surface. The disease often seriously compromises the quality of life of the affected persons. There are is a variety of types of psoriasis, but no matter what form it takes, psoriasis patients can feel very uncomfortable, both because of the itch, the appearance, and the stares from an innocent, but uninformed public. Michelle Engle of Newton, Iowa shares her husband's story. "My husband has an extreme case of psoriasis all over his body," says Engle. "We lived in Newton and got our prescriptions filled at the Medicap there. "They began carrying a shielding lotion there, and since we'd tried everything else for his skin, we decided to try this. When he used it regularly, it worked! We were so excited. He was no longer ashamed to go out in public and he was actually starting to consider wearing shorts again." Natural psoriasis treatments, including shielding lotions, can provide some healing properties that minimize the appearance, discomfort and stigma, so patients can begin to find some improvement in their quality of life.
