A quick UV update.

A while back someone spoke of an all natural antiperspirant / deodorant. Can anyone recall the name?

I noticed that although my P is fading all over, it's going faster higher up, chest, arms etc, and slower on my legs. I mentioned this to the clinic nurse and she said that's the way it usually goes.

Still no links allowed so check the BBC news site today (18th). A story about the dangers of inflammable skin creams.

Not been on for a while, work has been brutal then sick. Still managing the UV though (apart from this week) I'm at 2 minutes 36 seconds now. It's working superbly well, no plaque and skin down from red to pink.

Anyone tried supplementing L-Glutamine, Tamanu Oil and Vitamin D3 into their diet?

Not sure UV is going to work for me. It won't penetrate plaque so they gave me all sorts to get rid of it but it's reforming faster.

First UV session yesterday, just my arms to see how I tolerate it. Then they sent me home with buckets of gunge and mummy wrappings. I need to get the plaque off first, about a week they said. Not looking forward to this bit.

If anyone is taking green tea supplements, not necessarily for P, maybe take a look at the BBC News site today.

For some reason I have very little in the way of plaque right now, on my large areas of actual plaque P, or my many many guttae spots. The red raised look still persists though, along with the itch and burn. First derm appointment Wednesday.

Anyone having eliminated nightshades, how long before you either saw a positive effect or concluded they weren't causing you problems?

P's driving me crazy today, itching like mad then feeling like I've rubbed it in acid soaked steel. I cannot wait to start the uv treatment. I'm feeling pretty miserable right now.

Apologies for not posting much, I have second degree burns over my right hand so I'm writing left handed and it takes much longer, 15 minutes for this post.

Any recommendations for something I could add to bathwater that might reduce night time itching?

Well I've arrived in North Yorkshire and as I was told, no mobile signal here. However my digs have some WiFi so I'll be on okay.

Nothing to do with P, I just need to vent. I just accidentally ripped one of my big toenails off, blood everywhere and it hurts like a you know what. Note to self - don't rip your toenails off again, ever.

I'm officially on holiday now and go away mid week. I'm hoping the rest and being away from stress will help some. There's only very patchy 4g cover and I know there's no WiFi so no dramas can reach me.

For years my plaques were a biegey browny colour, then a few months ago the turned pure white. In the last couple of days, my guttae has followed suit. I now look like the incredible polka dot man.

People who have had successful UV treatment, how long till you noticed improvement? I have both plaque, chest and back, and guttae, top to toe.

I put a can of the aerosol moisturiser in the fridge today. If the night time itching gets bad, hopefully spraying with it will calm it down for a bit, let me get some sleep.
