the heartbreak of psoriasis

[jackyboy]

Hello Patty,

Don't despair, I was dumped after 23yrs of marriage for a younger woman who looked like a clone of me 10yrs earlier, but she never suffered from the dreaded P. I was in hospital for depression and P but life goes on.

A few years later I met a great guy who has helped me through all the bad P times,and is always looking out for new treatments for me to try, some are good others are best not mentioned but we will all try anything won't we.

Recently I have tried some Farouche Mercy Cream, it has reduced the itching,flaking, and the red lumps are certainly a lot better, and I can use it in my hair as well as all over my body. It doesn't smell horrible either and it does not have steroids in it.

If you would like to try it I got mine from

The winter is always bad for me but at the moment I am certainly keeping my P under control,this in turn stops me being very depressed,all I need to do now is lose 4st and then I would be happy!

Let me know how it goes, it has worked for me.

Myra.

Hi Patty!

Well at least with all that you've been through, you've kept that strong will to live...and that you're supposed to be proud of and you would serve as the best example to your son with P and to the rest of your kids. You're one good mother!

Don't be so depressed, you're a good person deep down. I personally have a great hubby, who has P too just like you. But despite that, I still love him with all my heart...he has doubts too, but it's up to him to distinguish between his doubts and all that. (I won't blame him for that.)

Just remember that no matter what people think about you, it's how you live your life that counts. Continue being a good mother to your children, they'll appreciate it later on in life. Take care always!

Your ex sounds like a right (insert expletive here!), and I think you're well rid of him.
My mum felt guilty about passing on p to me particularly as I've always had it much worse than her & I know that if I ever have children I'll be terrified of passing it on. As others has said, don't blame yourself, obviously the ex is striking at you where he knows it will hurt.
I've found this site brill - the fact that you can just come here and moan, & most people will sympathise & moan with you is re-assuring.
Keep your chin up hon.

Hi Patty, sorry you had a hubby who was hurtful. People just dont know how cruel their words can be. This is the right place to find support though,  hope to see you around!

Hi Patty, I too had a husband who left for someone with the skin we all dream of having one day. There are people out there who can look beneath the p and believe that they have found something much more important, a warm sensitive caring person which i believe all people who suffer with p are! To give you hope i have never been clear and met my partner who is wonderful when my p really couldn't get any worse. I have 2 children and have a very strong belief that my eldest who is 5 will develop p ( constant sore throat or strep throat they call it). I laugh when he tells me that my skin is getting all "smoothie just like when daddy shaves his beardies off". I think that what is most important to both my kids is that they feel loved and wanted and can only hope to prepare them for the dreaded p. The most important things i can ever teach them is that its not whats on the outside that counts and if people don't look beneath the surface are they really worth knowing!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you lots of luck for your future without the husband

You was with your ex for 13 years WHY? you should of got rid of him long time ago. - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT your son has got P it's just a faulty gene (it could of even been passed down from his side)- I get down sometimes especially when my skin is burning - but i try and rise above it ( i s'pose that's easier said than done when i don't know you )
You take care and give your son all the love you already do!
Try not to be sad
