    • About Me

      I work full time and also taking classes part time for a Bachelor degree. I am learning a lot of things the hard way but I never regret going through it all. I feel alone w/ this psoriasis. I feel that my Mom does not make an effort to learn about it to understand what I am going through. But like so many other things that I've learned the hard way, I am learning to use this be stronger. I am hoping to meet friends who are going thru the same and hopefully learn from them.

      Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the Skin

      First onset of Psoriasis breakout happened when I was 28 yrs old in Fall 2002. I had no idea what it was. It started out like small rashes all over my body. I realized that was an extremely stressful time of my life when I was overwhelmed w/ bad work & living conditions, & a dysfunctional love life. Remission for a little over a year when I finally had a stable job, privacy @ home, & a better relationship w/ the same guy. Lost all that in 2005 thus a new outbreak that's angrier than before.

      Treatments

      Betamethasone (Topical) Somewhat Helpful
      This is the very first medication prescribed to me. The 0.05% cream worked at first. I went on remission for over a year and when it came back, it was worse and this med will not work anymore.
      Dovonex Not Working
      Phototherapy Somewhat Helpful
