I was 14 when i first got psoriasis and i thought i was the only person in the world to have it, i became highly skilled at hiding it, and absolutely dreaded the summer, i was a promising footballer at the time and used to rub mud on it before playing.by the time i reached 16 i was targetted by a number of pro teams and it was on the cards that i would be signing for queens park rangers as soon as i left school. i went along for my trial and discovered that one team would play in short sleeve shirts and the other team would play in long sleeves. my name was called and i was to play in short sleeves, i just could not do it so i faked an injury . I was clearly the best player there and loved football passionatley. i would have rather died than let someone see what i had. i think about that momemt quite alot, im sorry to say that i have let PSORIASIS define my life. twenty years later i began working as a stand-up comedian in london. I quickly became very comfortable and felt at ease on stage and was offered a 4year deal with a top agency, 2 weeks before making my debut at the world renowned [comedy store] in the west-end of london . my hands became covered in stinkin.stupid,dirty rotten, nasty filthy psoriasis, up until then i had never had it on my hands or face, how could i now go on stage and take the piss with what looked like leprosy all over me/ I have pretty much become a recluse- feeling sorry for myself and smoking weed- im ashamed to say it has beaten me, on the upside tho- i no longer have suicidle thoughts anymore thanks to the anti-depressent-citlopram. I apolgise for this sad and sorry tle but i do feel better right now putting this in print......all my love christopher x xxx
