After a busy week I have finally been able to pick up my book, Healing Psoriasis, by John Pagano again. One of his biggest questions for people who's onset with p was a result from strep throat- Did P show up before or after the use of Antibiotics?

My results are in - Negative for Psa!! 😄 What puzzles me is I had it bad at 16yrs old for a year. Heavy meds were needed. Now to have a negative result, This must mean it can go away, or become so little that no markers are found!? Happy Day! ❤

Today is my 39th Bday, was a lovely weekend with family. Had cake & other goodies, but I am making a pact with myself. 39 will be a time to shine 🌞 No more going off track with food. Flare ups take too long to get under control. Not worth it for me.

My bloodwork shows my C reactive Protein (which is used to measure inflammation in the body) is 6.6. Normal range is less than 6. I may be lucky as I am not much higher than the target number. Anyone know their numbers? My dr will confirm this week.

Had my bloodwork done today. 9 Viles taken! I almost put it off because of spots on my arm & feeling a sickness coming on, didn't feel like explaining.. but I went ahead with it & the nurse was amazing. My results should be emailed to me tomorrow 😊

I saw my dr today, getting "the works" for blood testing in regards to psa, cortisol levels, ect.. My results will be emailed to me when done. I never knew I had the option to see my blood work so soon! Anyone else have cortisol levels checked?

My book 'Healing Psoriasis' arrived today! I will share any good info I find. At first glance I read how the role of our spine and skin can be profound. Does anyone see a chiropractor regularly? Do you find it beneficial for your skin?

Is there anyone in Ontario who would be interested in a Flaym Meet Up this summer? I am thinking cottage country area?

Woke up this morning with some new spots on my arms & scalp. I went off track with my eating few days ago. Wish the spots could go as quickly as they arrive! Just going keep onward..and really think about it next time temptation sets in..

What does PsA feel like for you? I have been having deep throbbing leg pain. If I cross my legs, my knee seizes up. Very tender. My physio therapy is more intense now, so possibly the reason? Am wondering is it mva related..or psa..a bit worried..

*And I said to my body, softly, "I want to be your friend."
It took a long breath & replied, "I have been waiting a long time for this." ❤

This resonates so deeply for me working from the inside to help my skin. Wanted to share 😊

I just read about a new study that shows how meditation, cognitive behavior therapy & relaxation techniques have real benefits for severe skin conditions. It helps to lower cortisol and overall inflammation. Does anyone here meditate daily?

Ice Storm hit us lastnight, power has been out for 3hrs & not expected back on until tomorrow. It is kind of nice being unplugged.. Responsibilities on hold and more time to *play* Play is a good stress relief. Do you get enough play time in?

I forgot about, but found & ordered Kama Sutra's Treasures of the Sea. Its a blue blend (turns your bath water deep blue) of natural sea salts, seaweed & gentle moisturizers. So soothing & provides deep relaxation. Do you have forgotten remedies?

I had a scare of headlice tonight with my son, now I am wishing it was. Weepy spots that are inflamed on his scalp. Looking a lot like p. One of my biggest fears. Applied Almond oil & Lavender, fingers crossed it will help calm it down. 💚

What are some ways you cope with worrying about what others think? I try really hard to stay mindful and be in the moment, I try to tell myself that what others think is none of my business, but times do arrise when I just can't help it & worry.. 😕

I have been using a blend of Lavender Essential Oil mixed with Almond Oil this past week on new spots. It has been working amazing, spots no longer red and raised. I really Love the almond oil! Absorbs fantastically & is not greasy! 😃

Has anyone tried Chromotherapy? (colour therapy) My good friend gave me a gift today of smart lights. I can now choose any colour of light in my house with my phone. He researched how good it can be for P and wanted to see of it could be helpful.

I Love it when life steers you in the right direction! I found a lovely little used bookstore today & found some really great books. The first one being *Natural Alternatives to over the counter and prescription drugs* Ohh I am excited! Lol!

Tonight I shared pictures of my skin & progress online for the first time ever. It feels really liberating! I could not have done this a year ago, not even with family. Having you all to share and talk to has helped me grow incredibly. Thank you!
