What's it like having psoriasis?

[Kat]

Anyone else ever see how large of pile of flakes that can make? I did this instead of pick the biggest scale...

Well, I kind of did that. I would place an old dark shirt on my lap and comb through my hair to see how many scales would fall, then I'd hold the edges of the shirt so that the scales would form a pile in the middle. (I can't believe I'm actually admitting this ) I would do this a few times per day and although I didn't measure it or anything, it gave me an idea of how much I was shedding throughout the day. It was always worst first thing in the morning.
