Hello from newbie ItchyTeri!!
Just wanted to pop by and say 'Hi' to all fellow sufferers lurking here.
I only found this group today. I've not been one to join groups regarding my skin condition, but thought I might just as well.
I've had Psoriasis for many years now. Always had dry skin even as a teenager, with mild eczema to start with. The Psoriasis kicked in with childbirth, just one weird spot on the leg to start with, which grew and spread and got worse and worse as time went on.
I've used various cremes and ointments over the years. None of which has cleared my skin up. Some worked better than others just to hold it in check, but as one patch starts to clear, many more spots break through. It's an endless cycle.
A few years ago I got sent for Photo Therapy - what a godsend!! I cleared up and was FREE - but only for a while. A couple of weeks later, and here we go again...Only Worse than before. Nothing I do seems to hit the mark.
I've had three sessions in the light box up to now. Just been referred for another session, but won't get to that one for at least a year due to crappy waiting times. Only one booth here where I live, unless I wanted to travel 60 miles to the next one.
Anyroadup. Here I am saying hallloooooooooo!!
