9 June 2007 My first entry in my journal, well how Im doing ok is the best I offer as everything I do to for my skin doesent seem to work. I used every creme availible both on prescription and over the counter spent hundreds on sun beds which is having less and less efect, I feel cursed. I dont and wont ever do drugs or drink much dont smoke but I have to sufferthis horrible condition. I do want to talk to people but no one understands some days I feel great others I want rip my skin off, my mum has psoriasis but talking to her is a no go. When I was younger I was told to hide my skin problem where long sleeve shirts during summer thats given me a complex about short sleeves. I have been told to get an aloe vera plan, pluck a leave cut it open and apply it direct. I did it yesterday and theres a reduction of scaling which is a great thing well Im going to cotinue and see what happens.
