Hi everyone,
Firstly i wanna say how fantastic i've found this site to be. ((:lg
Here goes, my p started when i was 7 on my knee, it was thought it was a scab that didnt heal, that was until i got chicken pox at the age of 9, they never disappeared, they transposed into p. I was covered and had to stay in hosp-a totally horrendous experience. :sad:
Between the ages of 11 & 13 i think i was relatively clear, i hit 14 and was admitted again with full blown pustular psoriasis, this was when i first encountered the "khan sandwich" oh joy!!! I started tigason and thanx to that and the p i was the first girl in school to have a skinhead!! ((:b
I have taken tigason, cyclosporin, hydroxyurea, tacrolimus and now mtx-the last resort (or so i'm told). For the past 24 yrs i've bin a regular inpatient (4 admissions in 1 yr being the most). I am severely allergic to dithranol-that experience was not fun at all, my p was a mass of red swollen weeping lumps-OUCH. :snif:
I dont' tolerate PUVA or UVA or UVB/Narrow Band. The fave treatment they give me is eosin ointment and cling-film-I'm the original buxted turkey!!! Flamingo pink skin is the way to go and those sexy skin suits WILL be all the rage, one day LOL ((*
I'm now 38. the p is still being insubbordinate, it will not behave itself and i'm v.down at the mo. The mtx-15mg wkly is not having the desired effect on the p only inflaming my liver. )):
This lovely sunny weather makes me ill, my p fills with pus when exposed to sunlight and the sunblocks which are white or coloured only "sit" on top of the p and make it look worse or make it flake. Does anyone know of any COLOURLESS sunblocks, cos after all these years i aint bothered by the ignorance of others and how my two-tone skin looks, i just wanna b cool!!!! ((:c
I'd love to hear from anyone who knows and want to say a HUGE thank you, again to everyone who uses this site-i've learnt LOADS!!!! ((:lg
