Psoriasis sucks

ohio_eric · 10-09-2007, 11:57 PM

I have psoriasis really bad off and on and it sucks. Today has been kind of rough, hence my bitching. My ankles are so sore it hurts to wear shoes. A patch peeled off on one of fingers now I have nice open wound. For a while I had it so badly on my hands I couldn't play guitar for the longest time. Now that it has largely abandoned my hands I can play but my hands aren't as strong as they used to be and they cramp up a little more than I'd like. Hell it's so bad on my legs I went almost all summer without wearing shorts.

Medicine slows it and can heal it, but it comes back. Sorry to bitch but it gets frustrating as Hell sometimes.

my wife has it too. she goes through it the same. that doesn't really help, but i understand your pain watching what she goes through...

I have dermatitus. It sucks, too.

Luckily for myself, it hasn't been too bad for about two years, except for my legs, which call for pants year round.

that bites

is it a virus, or a condition? i guess i don't know much about it.

It's a chronic skin condition. It can be caused by reactions, nerves, heredity and all sorts of stuff. It gets old.

the thing that sucks about it is it can be set off by anything. my dad has it, and he got an initial flare from an allergic reaction to something from working in the yard. It flared up and never went away. My old Anatomy teacher in high school had it, too. He said he had one patch on his nose that cleared up, but instead he got shafted with psoriatic arthritis.

Yeah, this hit me last year and hasn't gone away. Some days are better than others, and I'm lucky because I have a pretty mild case of it. No fun though.

Oddly enough, and I'm not sure why I just remembered this, Shawn Lane had psoriasis and psoratic arthiritis. So I guess I should suck it up and be such a pussy about playing huh?

Shawn Lane transcends diseases, though
