Well, for me, the first time i was told what it was in 1990 by our military doc, the only thing that bugged me was the itchy elbows, where it all started.
The stress of being shot at, spat at etc took it's toll on me.
Was i scared ?
Yes, my posterior was twitching like a rabbits nose.
& if anyone says to you that they have been to war & tell you that they were not scared, they are bullshitting or they really are off their rocker.
My P got worse in time, lots of steriod creams, lotions & potions were given to me my the military medical services which helped but over time, my body started getting use to the crap i was putting on me & my P counter attacked by spreading to other parts of my body.


Fast forward a few years, i became a civi again & went back to my home town, bournemouth.

If anyone knows b'mth, it has miles of golden beaches & i use to love to go swimming, but not anymore.

Now, i would dearly love to be able to go swimming but there are no swimming pools here on Emoor as west somerset council closed them down,but the other problem & the main one is, every tom dick & harry stare at you as if you got two heads.

About 10 years ago, i was living in yorkshire & there were several swimming baths & i went to each of them to see if i could swim there but, because they could see i had P, the point blank refused me entry !!!

I know of no swimming baths that has a P only group.

It would be great as at least if there was a P only swimming club, it wouldn't be so embarrassing then.

Mind you, by the time say 20 or 30 of us were flailing around the pool & got out, it might look like porridge after we all got out ? Whistle

I could go skinny dipping in the bristol channel but i think i'd rather stick my gentleman's sausage in the blender & switch it on rather than attempt swimming in it.
There is no sand, just rocks etc & the bristol channel looks like the main dumping ground for sewage & nuclear waste, bloody disgusting looking.

Me, i'm very conscious of my P.

Summer time, it finds me on a hot day wearing a long sleeved t-shirt or a shirt with the sleeves down.

99% of my clothing is cotton.

I get really cheesed off with trying to wash the blood out of my clothing & the bedding too.

It does get me down, big time, but i try not to think of it as it will get me down, i try to do things to take my mind off it ......

Someone said (sorry, i forgotten the name) that they disike the clingy clothing after putting oils or whatever it was ?
I took dislike putting on coconut oil, pine tar etc then wearing clothes or worse, getting into bed & feeling the damp, clingy, clammy bed sheets etc......yukky

It's bad enough with all my other medical problems but P really does Pee me off.

Oh, if none of the above makes sense, don't worry, i've had a right big fix of pain killers etc etc & i feel like i'm floating off the planet & i know what i'm trying to say..............i think ???

Thinking of clothing etc, does everyone have cotton clothes etc ?

Sorry to have bored you all to death, i'm off the cover myself in coconut oil.

Be good
