Been off Flaym for a while. I was trying some alternatives to my usual treatment & didn't want distractions. Not much success though. Tried Moringa preparations without success. Back to the drawing board again.

It's a coolish day in Cape Town with a some drizzle. How we wish for rain. My wife says that the turkey is looking good in the oven. Wishing all our Flaym family a wonderful & flake-free 2018. Thanks for being a part of my life. Happy New Year [soon]

Happy Christmas to all my Flaym Family. Wishing you a joyous Christmas & a wonderful, prosperous & happy New Year.

In my next life I think I'll be a vacuum cleaner salesman. Can you imagine, I'll have great sales even in "dust free" homes. I'll just walk in, scratch my head & say "Want to buy a Kirby?"

I just read an article which states that the best places for Psoriatics to live are Sao Paulo in Brazil, Port Elizabeth in South Africa, and Sydney in Australia. We call Port Elizabeth "The windy City" so I guess all our flakes just blow away there.

Hi from a balmy Cape Town. I need some advice. My fingernails have become soft & tear easily. My diet is well balanced with at 3 veg & a fruit daily. No bread. I've started taking folic acid, calcium & vitamin B Co. Any other suggestions?

A mom noticed their child didn't look like them. A DNA test showed that it wasn't their child. She told her husband & he said "Don't you remember as we left the hospital you saw that baby had made a poofy & you told me to go back & change the baby?

Yesterday in RSA we celebrated Heritage Day. I was doing the national thing, Braaing. Better than a barbecue. As you all know, heat causes itch. So I stepped aside, rolled up a trouser leg & scratched & watched my heritage blow away in the wind......

Took a bit of a technology break. One can become so easily hooked on chats & social media. Now it's back to the keyboard again. The Flaymers were still on my mind even though I hung back a bit.

Today is the start of a new journey for me. Got my hearing aid this afternoon. My word!!! Didn't know I was missing so much. If only my skin will do it's bit...Winter-skin-breakout. I need some sun but it's a small sacrifice. We need the rain more.

Good morning from a cold Cape Town. Trying to work with painful, cold & stiff fingers. Don't know if it's from PA, the cold or something else.

I mentioned a while back that I'd adopted a rescue dog, a cross breed beagle. She's still a puppy. Lately she's started to develop spots where her white fur is. Apparently she's a cross beagle/dalmatian. Now I'm no longer the only spotted one at home

It's good to be back. Missed you all. My internet was down for 2 weeks following cable theft. Our beloved Telkom "fixed"the problem but then they had connected it all wrong and we weren't able to login. Eventually it got fixed so here's to a weekend.

Feeling itchy this evening; not sure why though. Must be because the weekend's over.

It's Friday again. Work is almost done. Why are weekends so short?

This was so funny now. I've 3 rescue pets; 2 cross Maine Coon cats & a cross Beagle dog. All female. I took out a harmonica & started playing. The dog started howling & the cats came running & meowing around me. When I stop then they all stare at me.

Just wanting to say that I always laugh at myself. I don't take everything seriously. There are times when I find that I can't laugh at myself so I've decided that the next time that I can't laugh at myself, I'll get you all to laugh at me.

Has anyone used Emu Oil? I've seen it at the local pharmacy and it apparently works well for various skin conditions. It's an Australian product I I think it also removed dents from your car, fixes punctures. I just made the last bit up.

It's Friday & my work day is almost over. Adopted a resque dog & picked her up yesterday. That's more than enough to take the mind off the itch & the pain.

I've just joined the group about 10 minutes ago. I've had psoriasis for the good part of 35 years now. I've used everything from topicals to systemic treatments, UVA, UVB except for biologicals. I've found lifestyle changes to be most beneficial.
