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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
