Many years ago when I first got psoriasis my family didn't offer a lot of support, I think it was just ignorance and not knowing how it was effecting my life. That changed when I got psoriatic arthritis as they could see the pain I was going through, but there wasn't really much they could do and they felt a bit helpless.

My best support has been from Mrs Fred and thankfully still is, as time has gone by she can see the signs if I'm having a bad time with it and will jump in to help.

I've been very fortunate with having a great, supporting family through everything.

Superb support from all my family and friends, had tremendous amount of support from the company that I worked for.

I always got good support from my family as I grew up firstly my parents when I was diagnosed were very understanding and tolerated my tar covered sheets and clothes and trips back and forth to the hospital

When I married Mrs Jim was always supportive and encouraged me to be more open about it which I was always reluctant to discuss it and tried hard to stay covered at all times, but she was and is understanding

So never had anything but support from family and a few friends

My boss who I took over from said, never be afraid to be different and try this gin. I have never looked back on both counts.
