Hello from me

[Hanna]

Hi everyone,
Thought I would introduce myself and my Psoriasis story!!

I've had Psoriasis since I was 4years old (although after my flare cleared when I was 4 I only had it on my elbows for years)

When I was about 17 I had a major flare (I started training to be an aircraft engineer which was extremely stressful and my sister started to have suicidal tendencies another stress)

About the age of 20 my skin was doing well and was mainly affecting my knee's and elbows, but it wasn't to be for long

I'm now 26 and still covered in the stuff.

My treatments so far have been all the lotions and potions which turns out I'm allergic to pretty much all of them including things like E45 and diprobase, and any other cream starting with D
3 lots of UVB, 2 courses of methotrexate, and 2 courses of cyclosprin.
I'm starting another round of UVB on monday, I'm not expecting miricles just a little while of less vacumming!!

I left all my aircraft stuff behind as to stressful and I now work for an animal rescue center, I work with the dogs - training and rehoming and loving them.

I also have a wonderful Husband who is so supportive and helps me to stay strong in difficult times. I wouldn't say I'm totally depressed about my skin I don't mind so much especially in winter when it's ok to cover up I just need paper bags to come into fashion now for my face LOL

For me my challange now is just getting through the pain my skin brings me!


Hope to get to know some of you

Hello Hanna and along. It's good that you have a supportive husband, it goes a long way and good on him. I would imagine working at the dog rescue would be a good job for someone with psoriasis, I know my dog always managed to keep me calm and give the occasional smile (well actually a lot)

Covering your face with paper bags isn't a good idea, especially if you use the ones from the takeaway.

If you need any help finding your way around just shout.

Regards.

Fred.
