    Psoriasis affects nearly 2 percent to 3 percent of the world's population, including 7 million Americans. In addition to its effects on the skin, psoriasis is associated with arthritis, depression and a lower quality of life.

            I am male and have had Psoriasis since age 21 in 1990. It comes and goes all over my body especially elbows, lower legs, and yes, even there (the WORST area). I am a health nightmare having hypertension, hypothyroidism, migraines, High LDL, and the latest: Central Sleep Apnea (not obstructive). Since being on a bilevel CPAP machine, I have noticed my Psoriasis starting to fade. Could this be a solution? I hope so!!
