Hi! from Angie

[jiml]

Hi everyone!

I am Angie from Sydney, Australia! I am 32 years old and am a psoriasis sufferer.

I discovered this forum while I was doing my weekly search into different options to treat my psoriasis. 

I have had psoriasis for 8 years now, when I was pregnant. Initially, it was on different spots on my back, which didn't really bother me until it started appearing on my arm and now my leg and knees. 
The problem I have is being able to afford creams and wanting to ideally purchase my own UV light that I can do treatment at home.
I find that the prescription creams and coal tar help more than the natural method, but I find that my psoriasis likes to attack my body when I am on the off chance of not having any creams :(

But anyway, this is me and my journey.

Hi Angie and   to the club you will find us a very friendly group of fellow sufferers. And this site gives us a platform to share our experiences and support each other through the good periods and the bad periods with the disease, there is so much information here, about the disease and its treatment. If you need any help navigating around the site or a question just shout out and someone will reply

Creams and light treatment will give some temporary relief, but ideally you should see a dermatologist and explain that the disease is affecting your life badly and it's time to move on to something to restore your self esteem check out the treatments available here Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis as the over the counter creams and scams that are advertised are usually no more than expensive moisturisers, and will just empty your purse

Good luck
