just diagnosed

[Caroline]

Dear Caroline 
Thank you so much for your kindest reply...
I really got shocked and still shocked, but I had to talk to my boss and told him what happened to me, he immediately suggested to ease my work load and allowed to work from home more often etc, and i would need some time away from work to visit doctors more often then i ever had before.
I am waiting to meet dermatologist to understand the condition and get some treatment to ease it - for now i look very much awful and scary and ugly even for my self, and my X-Mas vacation is under the big question mark - i cannot appear on the beach in my current look (legs and arms/hands - just a disaster:(((
I am so thankful for such for such a warm welcome by the members, it helps me to breathe, but i need some time to accept my skin condition and continue to move on...
Thank you again, Caroline,  i will post again after visiting dermatologist.
PS Sorry for any grammar mistakes - English in not my mother-tongue:(

Hi Svp,

Turnedlight (that is not her real name)  is very right. Do expose it to the sun, if possible in this time of year in Canada of course, Vitamine D generated by the sun is often very good.

We will be delighted if you report back on what the dermatologist has said. As said before, we have entered a time where the disease can be controlled. The trick is to find what is the best treatment for you. And over here there is much experience in all kinds of treatments.

Myself I am very lucky (!), well of course not really lucky , but my form of psoriasis is expressing in my joints, only marginally on my skin and than mainly under my hair.

Don't mind your English, indeed it is very good, as Jim says and he is British, the forum has accepted me also and my native language is Dutch. Je pense que votre langue est Français?
Anyway, don't let them ask you to start counting in French...   (Over here we like a bit of teasing and fun, it enlightens  a bit of our common situation).

Caroline
