I'm new!

Hello! 

What can I say, well.... I've had P since I was 10...so that's 35 years of fun...visiting dermos, some of which were interested, some of which were merely passing through never to be seen again and some who should really never have started a career in medicine! The P has always been bad and I've always avoided the riskier (?) treatments and opted for topical with some UVA thrown in for good measure ...but it's getting to the point now where I'd quite like some relief - or at least enough time to be able to teach my small children how to swim.. So, I'm going back to the Derm...and armed with the advice I've already seen here and undoubtedly some questions I'll pose here too, see what can be done.  Onwards! And thanks for reading.

Hi Purple music and to the club, I'm glad to hear that you have been reading up on various treatments here , yes Psoriasis is a life sentence but now you have found us there's no need to be alone with it .

You will find us all very friendly and always willing to talk over your options to enable you to be prepared with foreknowledge of what you could discuss at the hospital.

We are all sufferers of psoriasis here so you will not be chatting with any vested interest, the site is very strict about that .... But saying that there are not many rules and it's a fun place to come ...

The health boards are more or less serious, but the off topic section is well used and we have a chatting thread, members photos, a bar to have a virtual drink and a chat. And much more I hope to see you over there sometime.
In the meantime if you have any questions or can't find something you wanted to know just put a post either here or in the chatting thread and someone will pick it up .
Thanks for posting
Jim
