Lack of sympathy

[Hanna]

This has really frustrated me today and played on my mind a lot, so I just want to vent a bit.
I know deep down I should know better and not judge and I feel like a bad person!

I had a call today from someone who needed to re-home their dog which they have had the past 5 years, their reason Psoriasis!!!v

As a dog lover and owner and a sufferer of the condition it has really struck a cord with me.

I have been so bad to the point I cannot dress myself but I do and I just push on through and still I manage to walk my dog and care for him, I also know that if I am very bad there are treatments and it's only a matter of time before I can start and the meds kick in.

I feel awful for my lack of sympathy but I get so many phone calls about people needing to re-home. And if the person who called is reading this I do apologise I don't know your own situation and I really hope you find relief soon.

Give the person a boot up the backside, psoriasis is no reason to get rid of a dog. In fact a dog is a good thing to have as it will make you go out, Psoriatic Arthritis can cause a problem as it did with me when I couldn't walk, but it was my dog that kept me going. he went for walks with my wife and looked so happy when he came back.

It's just a few steps at a time and the dog will help you achieve that, I'm not so sympathetic as Hanna. if you are reading this keep your dog, get off your bum and go for a walk in the sun it will do you more good than moping around in the house without your faithful friend.

Hanna I will move this thread to Psoriasis Topics as I like to keep this board open for people feeling depressed or down about psoriasis.
