Hello all, I'm going to give this forum thing a go as I am currently in need of a place 'to go'
I've had Plaque Psoriasis for around 6/7 years now - appeared in my mid 20's during a rather 'trying time' for the past three years it's hardly been a bother - possibly linked to meeting an amazing fella and actually being happy...
I've only had one other flare up in recent years - guttate(?!?) psoriasis, which covered every inch of me, which the doc possibly linked to a throat infection I had - but thankfully it disappeared as quickly as it appeared after about 8 weeks....
My worst psoriasis fears have however just been met.... plaques on my face. I feel like a vain prat being so bothered about it. I know there are many others - probably many others on this forum who suffer with much higher severity than I do, but the appearance of these plaques have sent my head west. I just want to hide.
I am guessing they have been triggered by watering eyes - I was suffering from blocked tear ducts for 3 months, and the constant tearing wrecked the skin below my eyes. It took so long for the eye hospital to sort out my treatment appointment (administration mess up)... I am so angry... I guess I'm looking for somebody to blame. The eyes are now working again - but the plaques are spreading.
I'm a 30 something female who loves make-up and works within the realm of fashion... I look like a cadaver. I can't put anything on it to cover it.... I feel ugly and frustrated. The bf has been supportive as always telling my I'm beautiful and that 'it' will go - I need to stay positive... But it's so hard!
Booking myself in with the docs tomorrow... though previous experience with treatments not working doesn't fill me with hope.
I actually usually a positive happy type who's usual role is to council and support my friends ha! (I'll tell a joke on my next post).
Sorry for the warble - have never really used forums so I'm not quite sure how much or what to post!
