Your hair also regenerates twice as fast, cuts heal quicker, but usually scar more easily, and you have to shave and cut your fingernails every 3 days...

Yeah i know... Bleh [img]tongue.gif[/img]
It's not true that nothing can be done. There are new treatments/regimes that can help with the symptoms and research continues to try to find a cure. Just do a google search for psoriasis research and see what's out there. There is also a fairly good newsgroup you should be able to find.

The first step is to get hooked up with a good dermatologist (not a general practicioner) and take it from there. My tip for the day - Dovobet [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Sorry if this got a bit off-topic, but I believe the above may be of interest to some here.
