PSORIASIS won today

[jotee]

Oh Emms. I don't know what to say. Poor you. I send you a very gentle hug too. Try to focus on the time when this flare will go away and you will get there. Psoriasis may have won for one day, but you can win on all the others. And it's okay to cry, don't worry about that. xxx

thank you everyone for your replys
im afraid i cant take time off work at the moment has stock taking is coming up but i do have a few days off after the pho xmas party but i have this weekend free so i will do what Rach has suggested and i was prescribed poly tar shampoo for my scalp so i will use it (even though i hate the smell  )

yes Rachel i have a pre paid prescription card i will have to put a repeat prescription in for more moisturiser and bath oil down to my last bottle
i have decided im not going to let this beat me i will do everything i can to knock it back i have been doing so well lately after all my issues and the counciling and that im not going to let my p knock me back down

unsure what to do the hospital was ment to phone me yesterday about booking me in for uvb do i phone them? 
i hate chasing people up but i really would liek to know when im starting uvb as my skin is pretty painful 

[TrishR]

Yes definitely phone them Emms.    If you don't and for some reason they don't have you on their list you will be missing out on potential start dates.   Get on the phone Monday 

[jotee]

I agree. Definitely call them. You'll feel better once you've done it and have a date for treatment.

Sorry to hear that , hope you can get some relief soon

Oh Emms sounds really painful. Takes me back to my college days  when I used to bleed with it being so bad. Hope the cream  helps until you start the UVB. Stick out the full treatment on the UVB as it can  take  long time to improve. You will have a nice tan  when you go for your holiday next year :-)

Talking of tans I  should be off to Thailand in just  under two weeks, so hopefully it will help my p

Ask the doc or derm if there is some sort of low impact exercise that you can still do, even though you're flaring. If you're still able to keep up with an exercise regieme, even a lighter one than you're used to, it'll keep your spirits up during this hard time.

I have found body pump good as it doesn't involved alot of fast moving exercises.


Can't move my arms though at the moment as it also really works the muscles
