hi there im new to this community and i thought id come in and share my experience. About 7 years ago i had a really bad bout of skin psoriasis i hated the way i looked, i was covered from head to toe in raw patches of irritating skin, which i believe was due to stress. I saw a dermatologist and i was in tears begging for his help, which he promised me. I had to have uv treatment twice a week for 6 weeks and amazingly i was 99.9% cured. I now sometimes get a small patch on my thigh when im feeling particularly anxious!
Hope this treatment could work for many of you too
much love

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
