Hello

[neddyarnaz]

Good evening everyone. I have always felt completely on my own since I was diagnosed with psoriasis five years ago when I was 18. Today I felt like the future was entirely hopeless and to continue on was a difficult idea to comprehend. A google search brought me to this forum and after reading posts of people with such widespread and painful psoriosis that putting on clothes is difficult, I began to feel like my story did not even compare and wondered if I even belonged. But somehow, in reading the posts I felt some kind of hope. If nothing else I felt empowered just knowing that someone else may go through their day with some of the same thoughts and experiences that I have. My outbreaks are mainly concentrated on my scalp and genital regions. While by using protopic ointment and clobex spray I am somewhat able to control the day to day discomfort of the outbreaks, I find myself unable to stop the continual feeling of helplessness. At it's worst, there are times when I feel worthless and left out from being a human. But being able to say this does give me comfort. And I must apologize for my complaining, because I know that there are many people who can't even walk out their door without their psoriosis causing great pain or being witnessed by everyone they come in contact with.

Hello and

Today I felt like the future was entirely hopeless and to continue on was a difficult idea to comprehend.

This is a common feeling with psoriasis, but now you have found somewhere you can share with others who understand you will find it a lot easier. You will find a good bunch of people on here although at the moment I think most of them are enjoying the break from the winter blues.

When I first started Psoriasis Club it was going to be a blog, but I decided to make it a place where others can talk in a safe friendly environment. we will soon be 2 years old and I have always said if it's helping one person then I will keep it going.

Getting feedback like yours is what keeps it going, we get a lot of visitors but you never know if it's helping. so thanks for posting and don't be a stranger you will always find someone willing to listen, and you will find you will soon be helping others in return.

Regards.

Fred.

Hello :-)

Psoriasis is more than skin, the way it affects us all emotionally is far greater.
I'm glad that you have found more hope in finding this site.
