[EVEMARIE]

Hi and welcome i really feel for u, im lucky as mine has never been really bad but was triggered by the birth of my first child no one i know in my family has it, i have now after 12 years developed pa too so i guess where as my skin is not too bad my joints etc have been affected.
You will find this site so helpful and even when ur feeling down someone is there to help you out .

Hello, welcome to pho, here is the best place to get the support you need

Hello and Welcome

I've got P all over my back, patches on my chest and stomach, knees, bum, genitals, feet, head, eyes and ears...god I sound like a walking flake factory lol.... I've only had it about 4-5 years. It's not affected my joints although through years of Football, Rugby and Karate my joints are shot anyway and I wouldn't know it it was lol
I find the thing that I hate the most about P is the constant checking - seats after you get up, shoulders before you go into a meeting or meet someone, visible skin for flakes most likely to attract attention... I send more time looking in mirrors, shop windows and reflective surfaces than any woman I know (no offence ladies ;-))

Hope this site helps, I find it's great to just read about other peoples experiences, thoughts and feelings on here...good luck

:-)
