Introduction / new to forum / e-petition

[Caroline]

Hello Caroline,

Thank you for your nice note...
I look forward to being part of this forum..
No, no problems with people staring in the lift
in fact i allow them to see more of my skin by putting my hair up in a french bun
I'm trying this diet at the moment which removes all sweet, yeasty, refined carbs, all veg from nightshade family, all dairy, all meat...
doesnt leave much does it?

i was reading that nightshade family (especially potatoes) and possibly yeast and candida can make skin flare up..

Oh Well Pina.... the diet that belongs to my treatment, and is also quite common, is the following:

Nutrition to Avoid:
Spices:
pepper, nutmeg, cloves, mostard, caraway, anis, cinnamon, paprika powder and everything made with these such as readymade spices, sausages, paté, tinned soups, dried soups, bouillon cubes, curries, sauces, mayonnaise etc.
Nuts:
all sorts of roasted nuts because these are roasted in peanut (arachide) oil. Cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, peanuts and so forth. Also no peanut butter, peanut sauce and peanut oil for salad.
Fruit:
skins, zest and peels of citrus, and ready-made juices of citrus fruits and liquors of which these are an ingredient.
Wine:
all sorts
Spirits:
brandywine, cognac, armagnac, champagne, sekt, samos, vermouth, sherry, malaga, port and orange liquor.
Be free to use:
Spices:
garlic, parsley, onions, fresh garden spices, saffron.
Oils:
olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, flaxseed, sunflower oils, fruit vinegar
Nuts:
coconut, hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds.
Spirits:
beer, whiskey, gin, rum, genever
Condiments:
pickles without pepper and cocktail pickles. All other foodstuffs are allowed.

Not that I follow it, but some people do have results from it.

what did you think of the e-petition?

Now... that is a difficult question Pina. I do not want to be impolite to you, I surely think that your initiative is very good, So at least I retweeted it.
But on the other side I personally do not feel disabled (Fred: keep quiet !), so I think that your idea of putting the people with psoriasis on the disabled side is quite harsh.
Though I must agree that there are severe cases of Psoriasis and AP (Fred: PsA).

Equal to Fred, I am not living in the UK, so my vote basically would not be right. But I think certainly a number of friends on the forum will sign your petition.
