Hello!

[bav101]

Hi again Bav a nice introduction ... Fills some of the gaps. You will find mine on here somewhere
I'm looking through your introduction and was thinking do you think your psoriasis like so many peoples including mine is triggered by stress ?  
You say you got bad when you moved from London ( somewhere you were at ease ) to Bristol. ( the great unknown ) hence stressful
You say it clears up when you go on vacation to America. Could that be because for that period you are stress free. ( just a thought ) it's more likely that than the air in Bristol being the culprit...

Creams potions and lotions are ok short term but the steroid ones should be used with caution as the side effects can be worse than psoriasis, get a referral tell them the creams don't work, they will put you onto pills at first, hopefully the drug I'm on but they have a protocol to follow where you have to fail a drug to progress to the next... But get yourself started you will not regret it.

I'm glad you have a couple of caring ladies in your harem you are soooo lucky, I'm glad they don't worry about your skin as the fact that they aren't bothered is one less thing for you to stress about... Let us know if a wedding is on the cards so I can save up for a hat  

You seem to have a positive outlook on life and that should help you through this current period and you can always come here for a good rant...
When my computer goes down next expect a call and I will expect mates rates  
Finally it's great to meet another self confessed alcoho drinker welcome to my world

Moving to Bristol was very stressful at the time, my grandad had just died (we was never very close, but he was still an awesome guy) and my gran was effectively alone here, I was in college learning basically how to be a TV cameraman, sound engineer and special FX and was basically told you're moving to Bristol or find a cardboard box the choice was mine, so yeah really stressful, but i dealt with it, wasn't happy but i got over it and have made things best i can. But i've always been of the opinion life's to short to hold a grudge, to stay mad at people for to long its not worth it.

As for the stress link? Most definitely the more stressed i get the worse it gets and vice versa, same with my rolling migraines. When I've been to the states in the past I've had stress sort of from American Immigration but that quickly passes, oh and that Iranian guy who sat next to me looking nervous, hey it was not long after 9/11 I think i was entitled to watch him like a hawk for the duration of the 8 hour flight. i think its a mixture of clean air, lots of sunshine and just being with great people and being able to live life with no cares in the world. I used to stay a lot with my ex fiance who lives in a small town in Illinois about 2 hours north of the Missouri border and her house was in the middle of no where, a drive way half a mile long with a huge lake stocked with fish for fishing, her parents are great to, even though her dad sounds like Mr Mackey from SouthPark.

I only normally drink one day a week, usually on a saturday unless its my birthday or xmas. But if you're buying I'll have a vodka and coke hehehe
