Hello Everyone!
Sorry to start off with such a bummer post! I hope to get to know others here and be of help to anyone I can.
In advance... thanks for listening (reading)...
I've had psoriasis for over two years and my quality of life has gone down drasticly. My grades are suffering at school and I tend to spend way more time at home. My social life is almost non-existant at this point.
So while I pout about this disease, that isn't killing me, I think about all the other people who would trade thier issues for psoriasis in a second and I feel guilty for feeling the way I do. However, I still feel horrible, and I can't shake it.
It's like psoriasis controls my life now, and I hate feeling so weak, but I guess I am.
Anyone else? Any suggestions, advice?

God. )Please don't give up this really works and I have tried everything!!!!!!!! I've had psorasis for 18 Years and it Sucks!! Hang in their and keep your head up!
i have psoriasis since i am 17. and I felt horrible, the way people would look at you just because they don't understand ... and i would feel bad, i would cry ... and then the guilt that "hey, why am i crying, there are others out there with worse problems, so i should shut up" ... BUT you can't think like that.
Sure you can't lose yourself and let psoriasis control your life but you also shouldn't play it down .
Cause at the end, Psoriasis is a serious skin disease where medicine in my opinion still struggles when it comes to cures.
I found something that may help you.
I've had issues with psoriasis for around 10 years now. I have it on my elbows, eyelids, and hands.
A couple of months ago, I was searching the net for more info about it and ran across a forum. There was a guy who was suffering with this for some time and asking questions. A man wrote to him saying he had a natural treatment and may be able to help. He listed his email address. I was intrested so I email him and sure enough it was a real guy, no scam or crazy person. He wrote me back and sent a small bottle of his "Herbal Pain Spray". I was leary by his claims that this stuff would work. The bottle was nicely packaged and labled and was, after all, "all natural", so I tried it. It smelled great! I applied it on my elbows and waited. I noticed after a couple of days, that they were less red, irritated and scaly! Wow, okay so I tried it on my eyelids. Within a few days my lids mostly cleared up and my hands look so much better!
This guy is very humble and not very computer savvy. He has a great product so you're the third person I'm telling about it. His name is Henry Wale. You can reach him at raphamountain@yahoo.com.
Good luck!
