» Jenn Greenleaf - Welcome!

Welcome! This looks to be a very interesting topic. My grandmother started suffering from this when her affliction with schleraderma (I'm certain that is spelled incorrectly.) went in to remission in 1996. Ever since, she's been suffering through the daily routines we take for granted like wearing elastic and jeans.

Thanks!

» SandyMcC - Good article!

Hi Michele,
Your article is very personal, thanks for sharing all that with us. My husband and daughter have it too, and for a 13 year-old it can be devastating. Good luck! Have you found any natural remedies that help? Plantain poultices maybe? I'd be interested to find out. It works on my daughter, but I know what works for one doesn't for another, many times. I look forward to reading more about your plight ~ that sounds funny, but you know what I mean... smile

Be sure to stop by 'my place' and say hi!

» WeaselGirl - "P"

Hi Michelle,
First, welcome from another new contributing editor! Your site caught my interest right away. I've dealt with "P" all my life, but have been lucky in that over the past few years it has only effected my elbows and hairline. I always hate those first few short sleeve days, though, when I'm not yet used to having my elbows on display. Weirdly enough, the sun seems to do good things for me and once I expose them to the light it clears up for a while, but never forever! Looking forward to checking back for more of your work!

I'm the same way, sun does good things for me too. The hardest thing for me is letting myself be lazy enough to sunbathe ... but that's another article in itself!

» CalgonMom - psoriasis -

Hi Michele. Great article. As you are a friend of mine you know that I also suffer with psoriasis. I was diagnosed with arthritis about 4 yrs ago. I'm taking life one day at a time. Some days are good, but other ones... well you can imagine. It stayed in just my fingers and hands for awhile but lately it's been affecting my neck and back. Rob (husband) bought a bodymat (w/massage & heat) for Christmas. Sometimes i'm on it all day.
I wish all of you the best of lucksmile
Continue with more great articles Shelly.
