My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

Well, the Enstilar is continuing to lessen the redness on the areas that I use it. Now I just gotta get something for my face and ears and other areas that I am not treating because of the 30% body coverage limit there is on Enstilar. The itching has lessened significantly so I am on the right track....for now. Once the 30 days is up, I stop. Wonder how much of a return to redness and itching I will have during the 30 day break??

On the brighter side, I will be spending more time outside. Just bought a 5th wheel camper, so I will be out at the fireside doing sweet nothing except cooking and going to the bathroom! 

So all in all a good weekend and a good day today too! It's a National Holiday so I get paid double time!


Cheers!

5th wheel vehicles are not very popular in the UK. Enjoy.

Difficult to say, it may stay away, it may come back. I would suggest gradually using less as you notice it working, it's so tempting to keep slapping it on but it's always best to wean yourself off slowly rather than a sudden stop.

Enjoy the 5th wheel.

Thanks one and all for the well wishes. Camping is likely going to be a weekly or bi weekly occurrence, depending on the availability of camp sites. Covid has made camping a VERY popular thing. The sun I will get will certainly help my psoriasis I am thinking.

As for weening off, Fred: I do believe that would be a good idea. I have a tatoo on my left forearm. It's the first time in a very long time I can actually see it clearly. What an awesome day!
 

Now to just wait on my dermatologists appointment. Next Monday is my first appointment for a blood test specifically for my diabetes. I am beginning to know the staff there so well, that I feel I should invite them over for Christmas or something!


Cheers,

It's a good day People! The scaling is gone on the areas that I am treating with Enstilar. These areas are not swollen, just a little bit red. For the first time in YEARS since I have been able to see my tattoo clearly. To top it off, I have lost 22 lbs. Doc wants me to lose 118 more! I started my weight loss journey at 365 lbs. I am now at 342.3 lbs. My arthritis pain is way down today for some unexplained reason. I am sooo happy. It's a good day to be alive.

Have a great day, Ya'll!!
