Thoughts from people feeling alone about psoriasis

...feeling alone Jackie @jackie88

Today is a better day. Yesterday it seemed all my conditions converged on me and it was horrible pain day. I read alot of the posts and it did help somewhat to know that there are others that know how frustrating it is to feel this way. Thank you all
