Hey winter, fuck you!!

WUT UP SOMEONE SAID THERE WAS CAKE

I've never been a fan of winter. The cold, depressing, dark-most-of-the-time, lazy, psoriasis goblin that winter wakes is among the worst of the psoriasis demons for sure. Mine won't say put in his cave! He keeps tormenting my forehead, to which of course I wear a hat, and that just makes him even more happy. That dirty rat-bastard will learn his place someday, but until that day he's having the time of his life using his loaded dice of havoc all over my defense. I've got nothing on him! I try to stay hydrated, try to keep the lotion-a-flowin. Try to eat good and drink lots of water but he's always a step ahead, cackling like the madman he has become over the years, not even a twinkle of pity as I stand in my hot shower every morning, rubbing off the new days scales. People don't understand how much work psoriasis is. The few people I've allowed to get close enough to see it at it's worse, think eh it's not that bad, it doesn't look that bad at all! Just like a lil sunburn or something that sometimes gets dry and crackly. Then they go and bitch because I spend 45 minutes in the shower and another 20 after doing god knows what (to them) and they call me high maintenance. They call me a girl. They call me names. Hell yeah I'm high-fuckin maintenance! My skin is like taking care of a newborn baby full time! It needs it's moisteners, it needs tender love and care. It needs to sit in the back seat when I go places in my explorer for health and safety reasons. The lil' bastard grows daily, and someday that lil bastard is getting adopted to a land far far away mark my words. It's like court-mandated mexican rolex. I can't go to far doing dumb shit (drinking/smoking) or it gets outta hand and starts whining till I pamper him back to order. Hell yeah I'm high maintenance, but not by choice. I yearn for a life where I can go camping for a weekend doing all the shitty things to my body other people do without coming home to a 48 hour skin recovery session. Sigh... someday.

Staying positive is important!



This obviously isn't me, but it's a lovely reminder for myself, and others that... life goes on. :) 

Well as my last post said, I received the BELL psoriasis natural pills and sadly I feel like they don't work. They might work, but after about 2 weeks of taking it, I was getting acne on my back and it got really bad. Personally I would rather just deal with the psoriasis I have then create acne, because messing with acne can give you (well me anyways) new psoriasis patches. I tend to use as little in the way of cleansers and stuff like that, and find that just washing my face with water often does more good then using acne pads or anything like that. They tend to just make things worse. So back to the drawing board I suppose, but at least I'm staying positive. This girl is cute and she has it, maybe I can just meet someone else who has it? haha :)
