1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back
I don't think i'm particularly stressed this week or so but my skin is getting worse, again. Have a look at the photo of my left leg. Skin feels red and dry, new spots are forming on my arms. My scalp is particularly itchy too. I have been using Sebitar, Polytar and Neutrogena Tar shampoo 1-2 times weekly (rotate with normal shampoo) over the years with no great improvement. Sigh... Psoriasis just go away! After 3 weeks of OLIVENOL 2ml twice daily, I've started on 2ml once daily since Monday.
Do you think the change coincided with lowering of dosage?
ReplyDeleteReflect on your sleep/rest hours in the past few days. Has there been changes?
ReplyDeletepls read these book -Healing Psoriasis, The Natural Alternative by Dr John O.A. Pagano & The Psoriasis Cure, A Drug-free guide to stopping & reversing the symptms of psoriasis by Lisa Levan... buy them via amazon.com ....
ReplyDeletenot sure if flare is due to reduction in dose. maybe i'm also a little troubled at work. my dermatologist once told me to take 6 months unpaid leave. being typical asians, how can we quit, not earn any money and enjoy a holiday?!

ReplyDeleteI can certainly provide a lot of info on the status of treatments and research, and I'm a pretty good listener, too.
I'm reaching out to other bloggers as well. I believe that we all understand that we need more public awareness and commitment if we're going to effect a cure for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
