THE PAVING OF ROUTE 55
I have the "heartbreak of Psorasis". No big news to those who know me, I've had it for a good 20+ years. I've learned to live with it and it probably bothers others more than it bothers me. It is mostly on my legs now though it'll pop up anywhere and I mean anywhere.
There are many treatments out there for Psorasis and I've probably used most of them. The newest is injections, twice a day and it'll clear it up, but at the same time it knocks the dickins out of you T cells and therby you are more suceptible to infections and cancer. Plus, like anything else, you quit using it, the Psorasis comes right back. So it's not a cure.
This isn't for me, even though they say the risk is low, I would be in the group that would react to it. My luck is so bad that if I were to play a game of Blackout Bingo and I was the only playing and they drew out the last number in the roly poly basket I still wouldn't win cause I forgot to fill in my free space.
So I will pass by the injections for now, but what I have done (and I pass this on to those that may possible read this little blurb) is get in salt water (the ocean is great) and sit in the sun. I also use a tar based lotion on the psorasis and sunbathe in front of a UVB light. This works for me.
I also tried there new foam, which is cool, no smell, no greasy feel but what I got from use of it over a period of time are broken blood vessels on the arms which to me look a hell of a lot worse than psorasis ever did.
So I will continue to pave ol route 55 cause that was I smell like after I apply the tar based lotion to the posrasis. Hey! you get used to it.
