So I'm currently covered in psoriasis from head to toe it is easier to tell you that I don't have it on 7 out of 10 fingers and 8 out of 10 toes!!!
Being pregnant means I'm rather limited on what treatments are open to me and most creams come with risks to the baby.
I was in the pharmacy the other day and noticed a product which I toyed with the idea of using before but chose to try forever living aloe products, the kind lady in the pharmacy gave me some trial samples and a leaflet. I checked it's all safe to use while pregnant so on saturday I purchased my first lot, I had to buy more today from the pharmacy where I got given the samples and another lady asked how I was getting on with it a a few people have tried the product and gone back singing it's praises.
Since starting it I do feel more moisturised and far less itchy and my flakey-ness decreased loads, I ran out of the product yesterday so had to use my epaderm moisture cream, itchiness came back and lots of flakes!!
So here's my plan, I'm giving this product 6 weeks hopefully without running out again. I will try and update on here a much as possible, and hopefully with positive results.
If this doesn't work I may bite the bullet and have more UVB.
I'm not naming what I'm using just yet as I want to see results from my own trial first. But if you really want to know PM me as the company is doing sample products that you need to pay £2 p&p for (uk)
