Around the age of 25, Psoriasis decided to move into my life.
Every single day since then I have to apply creams, lotion, or ointments.
I have done several years of getting shots and have also tried pills. It’s an addition to each of my days that grows very very old.
There is no cure for Psoriasis. There has been a few times here and there that it did go away, but only to come back later. I do have some relief from a couple of the meds that I use, but at this point it is still there.
My dermatologist that has seen me for years retired and I am trying to find another to replace her. It hasn’t been easy. One doctor gave me a medicine that they will not even sell in California because the possibility of it causing cancer. I would love to find an alternative method and do away with the meds completely.
There are support groups all over the internet and many people willing to share their story and how it has affected them day to day. Some people will not even leave the house, some fear having a relationship (it’s not contagious), but reading each story, I can relate in many ways. I am so thankful that to this day, my husband tells me that I am beautiful and that he doesn’t see the psoriasis when he looks at me.
Beauty is only skin deep so we are told. Well, those of us with psoriasis don’t always feel that way.
