Hello

I've just joined the site and I thought I'd introduce myself. 

I was diagnosed around five years ago and have tried a variety of topical treatments, varied diets and have very recently been prescribed acetretin so I'm hoping for positive results.

The psoriasis* is spreading pretty much everywhere and it has knocked my confidence for six. My partner is really supportive and I owe so much to her. I guess I'm in a similar if not exact situation to many other members here.

I've joined as I would like to hear others stories regarding treatment, diet and how they get on with smoking and drinking. I smoke and drink but not in any particular quantity.

*I'm a little funny about calling psoriasis 'my' psoriasis. I don't own it. It doesn't belong to me, I didn't ask for it therefore it is not mine. I hope everyone is ok with me using this terminology and in my posts, I will be referring to it as exactly that. 

I look forward to discussing everything psoriasis with you all and I will keep the forums posted with progress and personal feelings about it, and the treatment.

I am currently having a lovely time in Menorca whilst I am really enjoying (if a little paranoid) about getting my skin out in the sun so if I don't respond immediately, please don't be put off. I will respond to all posts and I hope to play a positive part as a  community member on this board. 

Much love, Hellosimon.
