Psoriasis and pregnancy

[jiml]

Thanks guys got an appointment with my consultant on 27th so it was just something to keep me going until then.  It's helping for the moment anyway and that's the main thing!

Good luck with the consultant, hopefully your hormones may start to give some help to the cream.

As long as it's giving some relief at the moment and you are feeling comfortable

Good luck on the 27th but I don't think there is much else they can give you whilst pregnant apart from creams. You are being monitored that is the main thing, so if it is helping for now then stick with it.  

Yeah I'm just concerned about long term use of it.  They keep mentioning light treatment but I've tried it a few times and it's never helped.

What I know of your case I don't think light treatment will be of much use. Once the Baby is born you can go back onto the Bio's as long as you don't breast feed if you want, so for now just grow and glow.

Light treatment used to be the only thing that worked for me, but if it hasn't worked for you in the past it's not likely to start now

The glow appears to be an urban myth Fred!

I've left it a few days since I've used the cream to ensure I'm not overusing it. Skin still looks ok, not better, but not worse. Will use some again tonight and then leave it another 3 days before applying again

May be worth trying Coconut Oil on the days off.

Good idea but don't be too uncomfortable,and use it if it's helping
