Psoriasis Club 7 years and going strong
A Short Club History

In May 2010 Fred was unhappy with the support he could find for his disease Psoriasis on the internet ...he wanted somewhere to be comfortable to look for information and talk with others who understood how he felt.
Fred found a lot of places online that didn't suit his needs , there were lots of scammers who were mainly interested in money, or selling a dream and keeping fat cats and the large pharmaceutical companies happy. In the couple of forums available he soon discovered they were asking for donations, some had advertising, they were not always friendly and supportive, in all he was unhappy with the cyber bullying and trolling on those sites . He thought there had to be a better way.....
So Fred decided that if there wasn't somewhere safe to meet, he would start to build a place where people would be pleased to visit and he would make it accessible to all sufferers around the world. It would be free to belong to, spammers would not be tolerated, there would be no advertising or links to other sites ....making it a friendly safe place to meet ....
I'm sure when he started it he didn't imagine how successful he would be..... attracting a good mix of members from around the world. With more and more members finding us every month, and this month as well as the Sixth Anniversary of the club we are also celebrating achieving over 100,000 posts ....with 949 active members
The forum has a wealth of information about the latest advances in research into the disease, along with a myriad of Members experiences. For members that want to join in more ( which is encouraged) there is a very active off topic section
The site has been funded by Fred and he has secured the club financially until 2020 giving us all security to continue posting securely. Do you want to know more .......You can read more Here

Hints and tips

Should you get stuck ask a member of the forum team who are always pleased to offer assistance Forum Team

Have you got some news about Psoriasis?
If you have seen or have an item of interest you think might be worth publishing on the club site, and weren't sure if it would be acceptable for publishing. There is now a dedicated board where you can post the article, and it will only be seen by yourself and the moderator...Then you can discuss any edits that might be needed
