Hello from New York

[chrisp]

Hi everyone, 

I am in my 30's, from New York. I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was 19, though it was only on my scalp at that time. Since then, I have had flare ups that have taken more and more of my body. I saw remission once, when I was very active and it was glorious, but I have since reverted back. I believe my case of psoriasis to be directly related to the stress in my life and my lifestyle. I work a lot and have given everything to work in the past. 

It would be nice to be part of a community that understands the joys of living with psoriasis so I look forward to speaking with you.

Hello Chris   to Psoriasis Club.

Yes stress does have a big impact on psoriasis, and even if we think things are fine there are little things always going on in our lives that can make us stressed enough to cause a flare.

Have a good look around and just dive on in. Like Jim said you will find a friendly bunch and a lot of support.

If you need a break for psoriasis you can always go to the [Group Specific] board where you will find all sorts of conversations going on. (Should you venture there, you will find I'm the only sensible one)

Regards.

Hello Chris,

I too am a believer in stress causing P...but since I got it when I was a child , I haven't worked that bit out yet !, but as an adult it does flare when things are a bit tough.

But on a happier note, welcome hun, the folks here are great and know a lot of stuff about P...so enjoy.
