Hi, my story is sort of simple, I developed Psoriasis after a bad case of Tonsilitus I had just after the birth of my 3rd child, a daughter who is 13 now, and have had a bit of a battle ever since, been prescribed various courses of creams and phototherapy (uvb and puva). These had various effects (puva worked the best). It hasn't stopped me doing the things i want to do apart from last year when I had 90% body coverage, including inside my ears and under my eyelids, at one point the pain in my knees and hips made me immobile for a few weeks, but thanks to my older two kids we got past that, and now I still have the (what seems to be permanent) patches, I do hope one day I will have no patches and always look on the bright side.

I now have a really supportive girlfriend who sees me and not just my skin also all my friends are very supportive too. I am lucky in that way.
i don't know anyone who has Psoriasis to talk to that knows what it feels like, that's why I joined this forum, to speak to people and make friends with other people with this skin complaint.

I'm not good at writing about stuff like this, so i apologise, but if you want to chat of have any advice or questions, I'd be really happy if you contact me, and if you have facebook you could add me there as well, thanks for reading

Hi Davie. Welcome to the forum.

[Troll]

Hello

[Fred]

Hello Davie to Psoriasis Club

I liked this part: " I'm not embarrased by psoriasis, never will be"

There is a link with Psoriasis and Streptococcal Tonsillitis and it sounds like you also have Psoriatic Arthritis too. Have you had that confirmed and are you seeing a Dermatologist?

Sounds like you have plenty of non psoriasis support, and now you have found us. If you want friends with psoriasis, you will find us a friendly group of people. Some like talking, some like reading, some like lurking around knowing there are others who understand exactly how they feel.

Please feel free to join in, I'm often in the [Group Specific] section. And you will see I'm the sensible one.
Oh and watch out for Speeding Motorcycles

Regards.

Fred.
