Hello I'm Mrs Fred
Having been with Fred about 30 years I have come to know many of the good and bad sides of living with someone with Psoriasis. Over the years I have learnt when to talk or if he gets so down about it just be there. In the early years I remember when I was changing the bed and said "We know which side of the bed you sleep on" and he was very angry, I did not realize what a stupid remark it was.
Not so many years ago Fred had a very bad time and I phoned the hospital. They said to bring him in and they would look at him but he may have to stay. I told him they needed to see the problem but we will take an overnight bag just in case. His skin by then was very sore and bad so I know they would keep him in. When we got there and he know he had to stay he was very angry and being the person nearest I got full force. He told me to go home and I left in tears, I had a good cry in the car park. I know he did not mean to be nasty and if you had seen his skin you would understand.
It would be nice if you would like to share some of your experiences and to know someone understands.
