Help Me Rest & Heal by the Sea

My psoriasis has progressed to the point of covering over 80% of my body. Along with that comes stiffness and pain in my joints and an indescribable itchiness and flaking that is not only embarrassing but uncomfortable.

I am working with a doctor who specializes in chronic disease and have already seen immense progress through cutting out dairy, caffeine, refined sugar, and processed foods completely. I’ve lost weight, the raised patches on my skin are less prominent, and I’m loving the structure and predictability of the diet.

All of that being said, I am still very uncomfortable and in a constant state of itchiness and pain. One of the biggest things that helps psoriasis naturally is saltwater and sunshine. Yes, I’ve been prescribed the beach.

I would like to take respite by the sea for at least 12 days in September to allow my skin time to rest and heal. The cost for this is pretty out of reach right now - some of the places I’ve looked at that are right on the water are close to $3,000.

My community has shown up in a big way, with friends asking how they can donate, dropping off bone broth and other natural remedies, and offering advice and encouragement. Asking for money is vulnerable and scary and I appreciate every bit of support my community offers!

Thank you in advance, my friend. Here’s to healing! ❤️
