I am lucky I guess...

[Princess Sarah]

From looking at the photo albums I guess I am lucky for having *thin and unitchy psoriasis* My dermotologist said my psoriasis is extremely thin. I get depressed from having a smallest of patches of psoriasis. I have never been *covered* With my clothes of noone would know that I had a skin disorder not many people even notice I have it, without covering up.
My mum gets psoriasis quite bad well she did. (It was terrible!) she went to Greece for a week came back and WOW! She was near enough clear! Since then she only gets it on her elbows and hands. I envy her grrr!

I know I won't ever be clear of it, but maybe having psoriasis makes me a stronger person? At the end of the day we are all trying to clear this psoriasis and we are going through thick and thin. We must be very determined people right? Otherwise we WOULDN'T be on this site, we WOULDN'T be applying ointment twice daily and we WOULDN'T be trying to find out for ourselves WHAT starts off our own personal cycle of psoriasis. Is what I am trying to get at make sense?
I mean we get depressed over getting outbreaks of psoriasis BUT the people who have good skin are still miserable! We are not missing much lol!
Sorry about blabbing on just telling you my view!
Luv Sarah xx

I agree too.  Recently even when my skin is bad, I feel glad it's not worse / I don't ahve worse problems.  And it has definately made me stronger.  I think I would be shy w/out the P always making me say to people "this is P, etc etc"

Hi Sarah,

I agree.
It's good to look at everything from a positive angle.
Through this forum I got a very much positive outlook on life. I enjoy it.
And when my p is better or when my joints don't hurt too bad - I really appreciate it more than any healthy person would do
