| Washington... I love this place. |
Yeah there I go again without an update for like a month. Sorry, I'm mainly posting in this blog since I can't really tell if anyone even reads it. I've been getting a wealth of psoriasis information since joining up at www.psoriasis.org and the forum at http://psoriasisclub.forumotion.org/ has a lot of interesting topics as well. On March 2nd a tanning place by my work had a special. 17 bucks for unlimited tanning so I got it. I've gone 5 times at about 11-12 minutes each time. I can tell if I'm any tanner yet, but a girl I go to school mentioned I look darker. Psoriasis wise, it seems like the plaques are softer. Every 4-5 days you know when it gets hard and super bad looking and you gotta go take a 30-45 minute shower to rub it all off, yeah that part. The skin isn't getting quite as hard as before it seems. I'll keep tanning and we'll see how it goes. I'm definitely excited for summer and going camping etc. I can't get enough sun it seems. I live in Washington, and we have more cloud cover than anywhere else in the US pretty much. I wish I could move to Hawaii or California. Anywhere with lots of sunshine, and bodies of water would work for me. I love Washington though. Tons of green trees everywhere, hills, and we got ocean and plains, we pretty much got it all here. I can get in my explorer and go west for 30 mins and see the ocean, or go east for an hour and be in the middle of mountains. I can go north for 3 hours and be in Canada. South for 12 hours and be in Cali, though I've never been. Or I can take a 5 hour flight to Hawaii. I really like where I live actually, I just wish I had more sunshine here. People not from here come here and see a sunny day thats still 45 degrees and washintonians come out in droves in shorts and sunglasses to enjoy the rare weather. Including myself of course. We've had like 4 strait days this week of spotty sunshine, and I gotta tell ya, it's doing wonders for my emotions. I love sun so much.
Hey, I have a solution for your psoriasis. Have you found your way to Curezone? Look at some of the last posts on their psoriasis forum, regarding sauna suits. This is an inexpensive therapy and it works. I learned about it just recently, but my derm told me to do it more than a year ago and I refused to put myself through that. But I finally did, and now I love my new skin! I suspect that any ointment or healing lotion would work well under a sauna suit. You just need to do this every other day for a minimum 2 hrs. And then less as you clear. Good luck to you! Here's the link:

I read your blog... and I have psoriasis so keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGreta blog! Regarding sun beds as treatment for psoriasis however - be careful! Sunbeds are strongly associateed with skin cancers, and use UVA light, whereas its the UVB aspect of sunlight which has been proven to have the greatest effect on helping clear psoriasis. Natural sunight is fine, but take care - would hate to think you could be doing more damage than good! (I have psoriasis too and was tempted by sunbeds - but i did some research and put myself off!)
ReplyDelete@Kate - I agree - sunbeds can be dangerous - if you want a sunbed treatment for your psoriasis talk to a dermatologist as they have UVA beds for treating conditions like psoriasis which dont prodiuce the UVB that can acuse cancer.
ReplyDeleteI have psoriasis scalp and find that the UVA really helps :)
