    • About Me

      I am 47yrs. old, I've had psoriasis my whole life, over most of my body, I also have psoriatic arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoarthritis of both knees, osteoporosis of my spine and diabetic neuropothy. I used to work for 14yrs., dance, do crafts and was very active. My whole life has changed I can no longer do any of those things, I was very depressed at first but I'm doing better coping (plus zoloft works wonders for me)lol.... I try to just take one day at a time. (not always easy)
