I joined the forum on the 1 October 2013 having never been on a forum before, and found this format fairly straightforward and posted my introduction
Introduction Jiml
I was so surprised at the speed and friendliness of the responses I got, and the good advice and support from members.
I joined the forum to see if anyone could advise on whether there was any reason to stop my current psoriasis treatment (Fumaderm) as I had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and put on hormone tablets and injections
See Fumaderm and hormone injections
After the advice I got on here I returned to see my dermatologist and we discussed whether to continue
See post RE: Fumaderm and hormone injections
I found that I was learning more about my psoriasis in a couple of months on the forum than I had learnt in all my previous years, I somehow felt at home here, if I was feeling depressed about my problems there was a sympathetic ear not far away to chat with.
I found myself responding to others who also had problems, which I could relate to. What a shame I didn't know about this site earlier.
(Then I found the OFF TOPIC Section and posted a couple of jokes there) Then
On 12 December 2013 i had a telephone conversation with my dermatologist followed by a letter regarding my treatment I wrote
