Relationships

Love and war with psoriasis.

...feeling frustrated Jenni @jenni90

Can anyone suggest a good cream for psoriasis on the hairline/around the face, I’ve used steroid creams before but as the psoriasis is on the face I don’t want to use it. Any suggestion?

It's so cool and good to be relieved. All thanks to God. Miss you all.

I apologize for being so disconnected and not responding to many posts. I have been reading them though. I'm on an adventure with my boyfriend meeting his family in Red Deer, Alberta. I guess it's the next stage of a love relationship. LOL. :)

I have psoriatic arthritis very severely and can’t take meds due to reaction. I find it so hard to do simple tasks. I ask for help he thinks I am faking . I am 45 and feel I am 90. I am so depressed things pile up. I don’t know what else to do.
