Intro from Sandy

[jiml]

Hi Sandy and welcome to the club. As has been said we are a very friendly support group and always pleased to answer any questions you may have or even just to chat.
I'm one of the oldies that Caroline told you about but we have got several younger members as well
I can relate to wanting to hide away with psoriasis I got it when I was about 17 and was devastated and spent most of my life trying to hide it. But fortunately my now wife was very understanding when I met her, but I was always reluctant to mix much as I really felt alone and never realised how common the problem is.
Fortunately things have changed a lot in the last few years and you should get some lasting clearance with the latest drugs available... I myself am on a tablet drug called Skilarence and it has kept me clear for around 8 years now and hopefully you will have a similar experience with cosentyx.
I hope to read that you get clearance quickly with cosentyx as lots of users get fast results and hopefully you can get back with your boyfriend...I found this forum very useful when I joined and got plenty of advice from fellow sufferers
Thanks for joining and posting feel confident you will always be welcome here, and you are among other sufferers who can relate to your feelings...
Do pop into the off topic section if you want to join in any of the threads you will be made welcome

And finally (from me) I recommend our monthly newsletter which Fred has put a link to above
Good luck
