I also know how you feel...I've been dealing with this now for over 20 years...I am married...I have to sons, who I am scared to death will inherit this madness from me....There are days when I feel as if I can't go on any longer....right now, I am covered pretty much from head to toe...except for my face...but I have noticed a spot by my ear today...that makes me even more scared...I could hide this most of the time but now it seems I can't do that anymore....I'm about to go into a research study program to use Apremilast and I know they are looking for people to take part in this study...it's phase 3....after this phase it goes to market and it's been looking really promising......I've tried all the creams....lighting.....tar baths....but was always reluctant to try the studies...but i am to the point now where I can't handle this much longer and I am now willing to try anything....Just know that you are not alone...there are many of us out here just like you....we live each day as you do with the frustration of itching....scratching....bleeding....scaling all over the place...I think this is a great place for people like us to help each other...i hope i have helped you somewhat...because when i read your message from October 16....You have felt the same thing that I have felt in recent weeks....Many of us know how you feel....you are not alone.

I understand exactly how you feel. The only difference is that I am now 35 years old and I have 2 children who depend on me. If I'm not around their dad would raise them and we split because of domestic violence. I can't bring myself to end my suffering when it would only be the beginning of their suffering.

I cured my psoriatic arthritis without drugs. Two years ago I had it so bad in my feet I could hardly walk, now my feet feel great! It also helped to clear up my skin. And it wasn't difficult, I stopped eating gluten, which is in all wheat products and is also added to foods as a thickener. It took about three months before I noticed a difference and after six months I was pain free and no longer using cortisone cream for my skin, which is much better and mostly cleared up. Doctors don't seem to know about this or at least I haven't heard anything from them about not eating gluten. And there are tons of substitutes for wheat products (bread, pasta, etc) and even a lot of restaurants with gluten free menus because of a lot of people with celiac disease out there who get really sick if they eat wheat/gluten. If any one is interested in learning more about living gluten free, let me know (and no I'm not selling anything in case people were wondering) ... Dave

I will be praying for you. God will never give us more than we can handle. Do not ever give up. Ever. Please stay strong. You are not alone in this. There are others out there. Find them and draw strength from them. May God bless and keep you!
