Depression and psoriasis

[Fred]

I have never taken anything for depression but I can remember many days when I was very low especially working at a very stressful job that took me away on my own so I had nobody to even talk to. When you are driving then you suddenly wonder why you are crying that it hits home, I have never said this before and the thought of the problems that we all have had to endure with this P and PsA just strike home.
I am on Stelara now and that has been a like saver for me though the PsA is not as under control as it was on MTX (9 year nightmare ) I am so happy with my position now apart from the last 5 days flu which is slowly going.

Yes it sure has a lot to answer for and should be recognised a lot more by the people that treat us, having said that they will probably only prescribe little red pills. But at least today we have places like Psoriasis Club where we can share with others who understand, as for the tears I've been there mate and for me although being covered in flakes was bad, getting completely locked up with psoriatic arthritis was my worst time.

There's a thread from the old forum that others may be interest in reading The Hidden Enemy and if any member wants to add to it please do so if you wish as it will bump it back up to the top.
