Now that I've introduced myself; here's a potted history summary...
I'm 32 (only just...33 in a couple of days....very excited lol), and have suffered from p for about 10-11 years. I have had about one year in that time when I was relatively clear but seems to have got much much worse over the last few years (I put this down partly to my job; I'm a teacher and, although I love my work, I am bullied there but won't go into that). It doesn't help to be stressed!!
To be honest I have 'put up' with my p over the last couple of years as my daughter (14 going on 40) has taken priority; she has severe excema over her entire body and still spends each night in wet wraps, sometimes unable to even open her mouth as it gets so bad). I've recently been told by her consultant that she also has p; gone unnoticed under the layers of soreness that are her excema. Poor her.
My grandad suffered from p so I suppose it's genetic; lucky us :-/
I have a light allergy therefore can't undergo any more light treatment- a few minutes of sunshine gives me hundreds of blisters which subsequently turn into new p, so I've packed away the bikinis for now
so it's back to the topicals for a while and see how things go......
Always looking up and forwards...
(Great to be here; fab site)
