Hi Katie!

Welcome to the forum! I used to live in Spain and my psoriasis cleared up totally while I was there (it was gone for well over a year and came back for my last few months - perhaps the stress of returning to London! )

I hope you find all the stuff here helpful! You should give your sister a good kick in the shins for her cheek!

Hi and welcome Katie!

You are in the right place for help and advice!  I've only just found this place myself and over the past week I feel more optimistic.  I've had great feedback on anything I've wanted to know and found out about creams, lotions etc. that I have never heard of or been offered before but will be recommending from my GP.

Like you, I also have p on my scalp, 95% covered aswell so it's pretty darn hard to hide it, especially as I have really dark hair.  I also have it on my shin, knees, elbows and in my nails.  I used to have it on my neck aswell which is a rather strange place to get it but it has cleared up, thankfully.

What treatments are you using for you scalp?  I've tried a few now but still no further forward.

I hope you find all the help and encouragement you need here.  And don't give up on your dreams, don't let your P hold you back, you're stronger than that.

Hi Katie! A wave from "across the pond" in Connecticut, USA! I know how it is not to be able to give yourself injections. When I lived on the farm, I could give the horses, dogs and cats their shots, but if I see a needle coming my way, I faint! I go to my dr's office to get my Humira injection for PA every 2 weeks.

Congratulations on your decision to become a nurse! My oldest niece is a nurse, and she is currently working on her PhD. I almost considered it myself, but I throw up if someone else does... ewwwwww! Not animals, only people. Go figure. Let us know how things are going with classes. We will want to hear about your graduation!

Hi Katie and welcome along to the forum. It sounds like your skin reacts well to UV, in which case it may be worth asking your derm about a course of treatment. Good luck.
