Thought I would give another update now I'm 27 weeks along.
My skin is worse :-( i have developed guttate all over now more and more on my belly which has also now got big patches of plaque I think I'm getting this instead stretch marks. The plaques on my legs are getting bigger and thicker and my lower arms have also gotten worse!! Along with guttate increasing on my face, and getting more on my hands
I do seem to be doing well with my scalp it hasn't been too bad, I am really trying to stay positive and resist going back to the derm, which I know sounds silly but I really want to just see if there is any chance of my body deciding it wants to sort itself out.
One thing I find that helps me to stay positive is looking at my arms first thing in the morning as the skin always looks paler and in low light!!
Everyday I can still function and move is a blessing with the level of psoriasis I know have, I hate the amount I flake off but I've got a Hoover so I'll get over it, my husband has always been so caring and supportive and does all he can for me, so I'm very lucky!
I'm wondering if my skin will clear when I finish work, it can be very stressful and I worry a lot about it and find it hard to switch off from.
Im currently sing epaderm cream (moisturiser) and savalon also have alphosyl HC for when it starts to burn again although I'm trying hard to limit it as it can affect the baby! But. Don't know in what way.
Sorry to go on, it's been building up for a while :-(
