Well I read it .................. You knew I would.
Yes psoriasis robbed me of a lot of my life, I always thought people were looking at me and/or judging me by the way I looked. But it was when I woke up to the fact that psoriasis can hit anyone at anytime and you should never judge a book by it's cover that I realised those that were judging me are not worth knowing.
I'm lucky today that thanks to my treatment I'm almost clear, but I know it could and probably will be back with a vengeance one day. However time and age has taught me that I don't really give a toss on what people think about me. I'm me so accept me or sod off, it's the person not the way they look that counts. And a reminder to all is that you could be next so be very careful on how you judge others.
Psoriasis today is more acceptable than it was when I first got it and I hope that people like us talking about it on the internet has helped. We accept people today for their persona rather than what they look like and that is a good thing, but in my time a person with psoriasis was looked on as a leper or a person dirty or someone that is contagious. It was hard to live and cope with, but today the future is bright and we can all talk about it and touch each other.
But sorry Pingu I aint getting my gun out in the sun whilst you're around.
*I better log off before someone complains about my behaviour in this thread as I do tend to say things without thinking, oh well that's me.
Night Night.
