hi to all

[fragil3]

hi guys
first my enlish is not good as you guys, but i will try my best to write to this intro.
i am Psoriasis sufferer from Pakistan.it started around 7 years ago.in the start, i use some ointments without going to doctor but it worsen my condition.then i consult with a skin doctor who told me its Psoriasis which has no cure.but at that time it was not spread on all my body, so i did not worry about it much.he advises me to use some ointments which help me in the start, and it stayed under control.
but now i don't know what happen it spread on my all body.only my visible areas are not affected that much.
it is making me socially frighten.i don't want others to see my affected skin because maybe they will think something bad about me or they frighten from me because my disease can affect them also.
i am getting treatment from the doctor.he advises me to take 4 pills every week and applying an ointment.i am getting this treatment from two months.
but my condition is still same.the doctor told it would time to control it.but when i see my body it depresses me.
only my wife know about the condition, and she is helping me allot in treatment.i always try to cover my body so nobody can see my affected skin.
so guys this is my Psoriasis sotry.

Hello Fragil3   to Psoriasis Club.

Don't worry about your English no one here will pull you up for it. It's good that your wife is helping you and you would be surprised about how many people try to hide it from their families.

Try not to get depressed about the way you look, it's not your fault you have been dealt the psoriasis cards it can hit anyone at any time in their life. I understand you feeling the need to cover yourself, but if you can try and explain to some family and friends you will soon find it easier to talk about it and get accepted by others.  

You can always point people to these threads, and remind people that they could be next.

Hi fragil3 and   your English is good and very understandable.   I hope you will enjoy yourself here and learn a lot about the management of psoriasis , it is an awful disease but as you will read from other members experiences it is treatable and possible to control, but it is something you will have to live with and battle against it  .
What are the tablets you are taking ? Most will take time to work effectively, so whatever they are you must give them time to work ....
you will only get genuine people here telling what works for them. Whether it's natural treatments or prescribed medication.

Feel free to join in and ask questions or answer other members threads, we are a friendly group who will be pleased to answer any questions you may have

Welcome Fragil3!

You'll find lots of information here and once you say what treatment you are on you'll most likely get feedback from others who can share their experience.

Sadly there isn't a treatment that makes it just go away, they all take time to work. Plus sometimes a treatment doesn't work as well for some as it does others. But it sounds like you are on the right path by seeing a doctor and starting treatment.

It is very difficult to not feel self conscious about this disease. Fred offered great advice in trying not to get depressed. Your family and friends should be supportive and it's important to have people support you so that you don't feel alone. This forum is great for that as we know personally what it feels like, but it's important that you have people close to you that you can talk to.

Good luck at your appointment!

Hi Fragil3

Its a bit of a shock when you get told you have psoriasis, but you will get used to it, and with the doctors help you should be able to find a treatment that helps, although this means trying different things. I hope you find this forum helpful - I found it a real comfort to talk to people who have the same problems as me.
