time to rabmle....
So I have to brag on myself and my medication for just a bit.....I have now been 100% clear from psoriasis for a total of 6 months.....This will be my first Christmas in 14 years to be 100% clear...no make that any kind of clear....I have always been the one in my familyh that cant wait till the winter gets here...for me I felt much better in the winter...unlike most people my psoriasis was somewhat relieved in the winter months.....and the best part....no one looked at me weired for wearing so many layers of clothes to cover up my psoriasis....It was expected to wear that many clothes and to have hardly any skin showing....just the other day it was 16t degrees outside when I left for work.....did i wear long sleeves...no........did i wear a jacket...stupidly...no....loll....someone at work asked me why I wasnt bundled up...I laughed when i replied....i have never had clear sexy smooth skin....I do now...and I’m going to risk the cold just to show it off....I’m so proud that the medication my doctor put me on is working so well....although in the back of my mind...I know there will come a day when it stops working and I will be back down like I was before...but for now...I’m enjoying my clear skin high...as I write this I do feel guilty.....I feel pain for the ones that don’t have their miracle drug yet....but to you I say...I have been there...I have waited 14 years to be able to wear short sleeves....shorts...and be happy about my skin......and like I said before I’m sure those dark days will come once again....all we can do is fight today....fight tomorrow...and fight everyday until we can all go out without a jacket or long sleeves in 16 degree weather...just to show off our beautiful skin......I have to admit this year has been a rollercoaster ride for me and my family....but it is all worth it in one way or another....first....with my psoriasis being so bad....my husband found this site....and I know have so many friendships that I hold dear and wouldn’t give up for anything in this world.....I have also learned the value of what a real relationship between and husband and wife should be...when one is sick and down and in need...the other don’t leave them lonely and without any hope...the other should lift the spouse up and get them where they need to be....my psoriasis and my journey with it this year has brought me to the lowest point in life....and it has also brought me to the highest point in life that I have ever been too....
ok I have rambled long enough...I just wanted to share my excitement with people that understand what it is like to be extremely excited about not covering up....everyone here stays on my heart and mind more than you will ever know!!!! I love yall!!!!

Thank yall for the kind words...I had mixed emtions about writting this blog....I want everyone to share in how much progress I have made this year....but at the same time I felt bad for writting it because I knwo there are so many that are still hurting and I hurt for them....All we can do is fight fight fight for a cure...and until we get that cure we can be a shoulder for everyone that is having trouble or hurting or just having a bad day.....I know my day is coming where it will be back and I will need the support of my cure now family more than I ever have....I have gotten used to being clear....so when it comes back I will be off this high that I have been feeling for 6 months and I will crash and I will require someone's shoulder......I just want everyone to know Im willing to be your shoulder at any point going through this roller coaster of a disease......Again....thanks so much for the kind words!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, it gives us hope that we will experience the wonderful day we want have to cover up. I relate to wearing long sleeves and pants all the time.
I looked forward to winter as well. I also look forward to the day this dreaded disease isn't such a roller coaster ride. I have fought this for 18 years, in 18 years I still cover up but I have shown great improvement with one injection of Stelara.
Have a great holiday and I pray you will remain clear.
