I AM A PSORIASIS SUFFERER

and let me tell you it has not been FUN!

THE EASIEST WAY FOR ME TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT PSORIASIS IS, IS LIKE THIS:
YOUR SKIN GROWS NEW SKIN CELLS EVERY 28 DAYS..YOU ARE CONSTANTLY SHEDDING DEAD SKIN CELLS THROUGH OUT THE MONTH MAKING WAY FOR THE NEW CELLS. NOT FOR ME AND OTHER PSORIASIS SUFFERERS. THIS PROCESS HAPPENS EVERY 4 DAYS. OUR CELLS GROW EVERY 4 DAYS SO THERE IS NOT TIME FOR OUR DEAD CELLS TO SHED AND MAKE WAY. THEREFORE THEY PILE UP MAKING THESE ACHY, SCABBY LOOKING LESIONS.

I first developed my first lesion when I was just 11. It was a spot on my leg and my mom thought it was ringworm. So we tried treating it over the counter. Much to my surprise my legs started breaking out with the same lesions. Before I knew it, half of my body was covered with what was diagnosed as Psoriasis.
It was very hard during my teenage years. Kids don't understand and the skin disease was fairly new to the public eye. I would wear long sleeves and jeans in 90 degree temps because I was so embarrassed. I wouldn't wear bathing suits or change in front of my friends.
I tried several treatments. There is NO cure. You can treat it and it may clear up for a short while but it comes back. When it comes back it is usually worse. I have done, creams, steroids, coal tar treatments, UVB light treatments under a doctors care. I even had a short stay in the hospital because the treatment wa so harsh I couldn't come in contact with any OUTSIDE light. I also did the Methotrexate medicine which was scary to me. Nothing worked. For awhile, it would clear in the summer and come back in the winter. Something about the UVB lights from the sun cures it temporarily. I went to FLORIDA for one weekend. Yes 3 days and it cleared up. I was so amazed and felt like it was a miracle.
Psoriasis does terrible things to your self esteem. Especially when you are a teen. You are already dealing with the normal growing pain and puberty issues and then you throw this in and WHAM it's a punch in the face.
I just dealt with it. Although I always hated my body. What is good being a skinny 110 pd girl if I can wear my cute clothes and bikinis. That was devastating to me then.

Now, as a 34 year old woman I still deal with it. It flares up badly in the winter. It is because I am not in the sun. I try to tan throughout the year to keep it under control and not so inflamed. I have a constant worry that  I am putting myself at risk of skin cancer while trying to clear up this skin disease.

It is tough. I PRAY everyday that my children do not suffer the same. It is looking pretty good so far. It is hereditary and I worry. I try to be strong for them and act as though it's really not a bother. To be honest, I am not as harsh on myself about it as I used to be. I have come to terms with the fact that I have to live with it. I try to ease the symptoms throughout the year and every now and then will find a medicine that temporarily works.
 The latest medicine was like  a miracle medicine.
It was called Champori. For the first time in 15 years I wore shorts all summer. It cleared my legs up enough that I felt confident enough to actually go in public in shorts!!!! I know I shouldn't care all other times but it is hard and sometimes just easier to wear jeans than deal with the stares and questions. My legs are covered over 70%. I have taken a break on the Champori. This is why. Medicine for Psoriasis works in mysterious ways. What works for some may not work for others. What works once may not work again. It seems so unfair to actually find something that works and then it doesn't. That is why I took the Champori break. i was ecstatic to go all summer with nearly clear skin.  So when the weather started cooling off I stopped using it so that my skin doesn't become immune. I felt liberated for the first time in a long time and I want to use it again in the spring and hopefully have the same results. The results for sure will not be the same if I continuously use it.  So FINGERS CROSSED. Check out Champori for Psoriasis and Excema. It is an herbal medicine and once you read the reviews you will definitely want to give it a shot or pass on the information.Click here to visit Champori!

To learn more about Psoriasis go to https://www.psoriasis.org/  This is a very informative website. There are so many. 
Don't disregard tips and tricks that are given to you by other sufferers. This is tricky and what works for one may or may not work for another. You have to try it ALL. Don't disregard home remedies or herbal remedies. I have found that a lot of times these work so much better.

Here are a couple things I do to keep my Psoriasis from hurting in the winter.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR SKIN HYDRATED WITH LOTION. NO MATTER WHAT YOU CAN NOT LET IT GET DRY. USE VASELINE. YES IT IS THICK AND GOOEY BUT YOUR SKIN WILL ABSORB IT. YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU BATH. VASELINE WILL LOCKING IN MOISTURE. IT DOESN'T MOISTURIZE  ONLY LOCKS IT IN. SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DO IT AFTER THE BATH. PAT DRY WITH YOUR TOWEL.
OPT FOR THE 8 DOLLAR LOTION OVER THE 2 DOLLAR LOTION. YES THIS ISN'T WHERE YA WANNA SPEND EXTRA CASH BUT YOUR SKIN WILL THANK YOU. US PSORIASIS SUFFERERS HAVE TO HAVE THICK, EXTRA MOISTURIZING LOTION.
ALSO, SINCE IT IS COLD A GREAT TIP THAT WORKS FOR ME IS PUTTING LEGGINS ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING THE VASELINE. IT HELPS LOCK IT IN AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY COMFORTING HUGGING YOUR LEGS SO TIGHT. SINCE THEY ARE SO TIGHT THERE IS NO FRICTION RUBBING AGAINST YOUR SKIN.

30 THINGS Post 8 Pet PEEVES

POST 8
Pet Peeves

Here are a few of my Pet Peeves
My #1 Pet Peeve by far is
People who are late. UGH! This one gets me on an angry roll. If you have to be at at 2PM then be here at 1:59!!!  You know all week long that the event starts at 2PM.  There is no reason you should be late. The late people are always the same. You are always waiting on the same people. Like they are extra SPECIAL and you SHOULD wait on them.  Now don't get me wrong. We all run late and things sometimes happen to make you late. I am talking about the disrespectful people that you can count on to be late at any type of event you invite them to. I have a family of 5 to prepare. We may run around the house like chickens with our heads cut off and I may be stressed the heck out while getting everyone together, however, you can COUNT ON ME TO BE ON TIME! P.S. If I am not on time I will have the courtesy to call you and tell you! The normal Later ones don't have that courtesy. Now on to the NEXT! I told you I could roll on this one!!


My #2 is definitely people who do NOT take a little pride in what they do...YES we ALL HAVE to work. Most of us don't want to and most of us don't like our jobs....BUT if you have to do it you must do it right. TAKE A LITTLE PRIDE and do it good. If you are a server, be the server your customer wants. (this pays off)...If you work at McDonalds, Be nice and courteous, if you work at Walmart and we need help then help with a smile. Whatever it is, Be Proud of the JOB you do!

#3 How about parents that leave their kids trailing behind them..Too many times I have seen grown ups walk through a door and their little kids are scrambling to make it in behind them before the door shuts...or walking down a street and their kids are behind them. Someone could snatch them up and they would never know. WATCH YOUR KIDS PEOPLE!

I am sure there are more but these are the top 3 that I CAN think of!!!

What are your pet peeves?

Describe your favorite and least favorite thing about Parenthood.(#24)

This one is easy. Of course the list of Favorites could go ON AND ON AND ON but I promise I will keep it brief!!!

MY LEAST FAVORITE THING. THERE IS ONLY ONE THING. NOTICE I AM IN CAPS! BECAUSE IT IS CAPS LOCK WORTHY. THIS IS THE ADVICE I GIVE TO PARENT'S TO BE.THE ABSOLUTE ONE AND ONLY BAD THING ABOUT BEING A PARENT...(DRUM ROLL PLEASE).......

VOMIT.....NEED I REALLY SAY MORE. IT STINKS AND IS GROSS AND IT STINKS AND IS GROSS. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK! THE SMELL GETS STUCK IN MY NOSE FOR WEEKS AND WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MAKE IT TO THE TOILET AND IF THEY DO MAKE IT WHY CAN'T THEY MAKE IT IN THE TOILET.

(HOPE I DIDN'T RUIN YOUR BREAKFAST)

NOW ON TO THE 
FAVORITE

LIKE I SAID THIS LIST COULD GO ON AND ON. BUT HERE GOES FOR THE FAVORITE.
I LIKE WHEN I JUST LOOK AT MY KIDDO'S AND THIS OVERWHELMING FEELING GOES THROUGH MY BLOOD AND I THINK 'MAN I LOVE THEM'. THEY DO SOMETHING TO MAKE ME CRACK UP AND THE SAME FEELING GOES THROUGH ME, 'MAN I LOVE THEM' IT IS AN OVERWHELMING HIGH THAT HAS TO BE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY DRUG OUT THERE!  I LIKE WHEN I SEE MY CHILDREN WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THEIR FATHER SO INTENTLY WHEN HE IS SPEAKING TO THEM. IT IS PURE ADMIRATION. AGAIN, I GET THE FEELING, 'MAN I LOVE THEM'

THE FEELING IS REALLY NOT EXPLAINABLE. I CAN TRY TO PUT IT INTO WORDS ALL DAY LONG BUT YOU WILL NOT GET WHAT I AM REALLY TRYING TO GET ACROSS.

THAT FEELING, THAT HIGH, THAT BLOOD FLOWING THING THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN...THAT IS MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT BEING A PARENT.

I BELIEVE IT CAN BE SUMMED UP INTO ONE WORD....
LOVE!
Not explainable .

You should try the list. I have learned so much about myself. my brain has been reeling and reveling in information that has been stored and put away for years. I have relearned so much about me.! See the Full list by clicking  HERE!!!

Keep HIM Happy

It is NO secret that I am in a happy, functioning marriage! (Thank Goodness). I am so Lucky. Like all couples we have our moments and sometimes get in the routine rut. Work, kids, bills, etc.

I once heard from a wise source that the way to make your marriage survive is to ALWAYS focus on making your spouse HAPPY. If he goes out of his way for you and you do the same for you...well then there is no room for unhappiness!

I still am always looking for tips and secrets on keeping it real. Whether is be in the bedroom or just everyday intimacy and gestures, I want to do my part in keeping my husband Happy.

Here are a few tips. My favorite ones that I have found while searching the web for all the Happy Secrets!

MAKE HIM SHINE

Do what you can to show him that he is not an obligation to you, a routine or a pattern but that he is the love of your life, your life partner and that he matters, today, tomorrow and always.

NO NAGGING

When my grandpa died, we were laying with my granna and she was grieving. During her sobs all she could mutter is 'Why did I get on him yesterday about closing the cabinet too tight. I argued with him over that and how he still hasn't quieted the washer, and I should have said other things'.......THAT STUCK WITH ME.  If I was to lose my hubby (Please NO) does it really matter that he didn't take out the garbage quick enough or that he was slow to change my windshield wipers. NO. I learned from that moment. I try to keep my mouth shut on the small things.  goes back to the ABC's of picking your battles.

HAPPY SEX, HAPPY MARRIAGE

Something we learn when we are young..Boys only want ONE THING!!..Well this is still kind of true when they are grown.  We connect emotionally and they NEED the physical connection.  Keep the zest and zing in the bedroom and realize that Sex is EXTREMELY  important to men.  Personally, I believe this is another area that goes back to the WISE ADVICE at the top of the post....Each of you should focus on making each other happy and the ZEST WILL ZING! 

FLUFF!

Give him compliments on how amazing he is. How about how well he does as a provider and the extra miles he goes to be romantic. Compliment and fluff his ego on this. Of course don't go overboard or it will seem fake. I know as a woman I like to know I am appreciated so why wouldn't he? Surprise him with little things you know he loves. He will know you pay attention to him. I bring my husband Mt Dews if I am out running errands. It isn't much but I know he loves them and will welcome the surprise. Little things count!

Well these are just a few things. The list could go on and on. I believe starting small is better than over whelming yourself! Try a couple of these and you will see the appreciation immediately. These tips were either solely from me and my life experiences or from searching How to keep him happy on Google. You'd be surprised what you can learn from eHow and LifeScript!

 MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT ( I SKIPPED AROUND A LITTLE, THIS IS #10 ON THE LIST)

FUNNY. THIS LIST COULD BE SHORT OR LONG. 
THERE ARE 2 EMBARRASSING MOMENTS THAT STICK WAY OUT IN MY BRAIN THAT I THINK ABOUT HERE AND THERE. THEY ARE SILLY BUT THEY WERE HUMILIATING. ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME!

THE FIRST ONE I WAS IN THE 5TH GRADE. SINCE JESSICA WAS SUCH A POPULAR NAME, I HAD 5 JESSICA'S IN MY CLASS.  ONE MORNING, WHILE GETTING DRESSED IN THE DARK, I WORE 2 DIFFERENT SHOES TO SCHOOL! THE SHOES WERE SIMILAR. THEY WERE THE PLAIN  KEDS STYLE.  THEY CAME IN DIFFERENT COLORS. SO THEY WERE PLAIN WHITE, OR PLAIN RED ETC. WELL ON THIS PARTICULAR MORNING I WORE A WHITE ONE AND A GRAY ONE WITH TIC TAC TOE SYMBOLS. I CALLED MY MOM AND SHE DUTIFULLY BROUGHT THE RIGHT SHOE UP TO ME ( I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE MADE A DECISION ON WHICH ONE TO BRING!)  THE SCHOOLS SECRETARY COMES INTO MY CLASSROOM AND YELLS OUT WHILE LAUGHING
"ONE OF YOUR JESSICA'S HAS ON 2 DIFFERENT SHOES. HERE IS HER OTHER ONE!"
SO OF COURSE I HAD TO GET UP IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS AND SHOW MY SILLY MISTAKE. AND OF COURSE I WAS THE JOKE FOR AWHILE. LIKE I SAID SILLY BUT ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HAS STUCK WITH ME!

THE 2ND EMBARRASSING MOMENT COMES WHEN I WAS JUST A YOUNG ADULT. 19 IN FACT!  THERE WAS A LEATHER COAT THAT I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANTED! SO I SAVED. I SAVED ALL OF MY CHANGE. I SAVED FOR A WHILE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY I HAD $119.00 IN CHANGE! (JUST ENOUGH!!)
SO I DECIDED I WOULD TAKE IT TO KROGER AND CASH IT IN AT THE COINSTAR!
I WALKED IN WITH A PLASTIC JAR OF CHANGE AND A 1 YEAR OLD ON MY HIP. (MISTAKE).
WHILE TRYING TO PUT MY KID IN THE CART I DROPPED THE PLASTIC JAR OF CHANGE.
IT WAS SO LOUD. IT WENT EVERYWHERE. YOU COULD SEE CHANGE JUST ROLLING, ROLLING AND ROLLING. THE SOUND. IT WAS SO SUPER LOUD THAT EVERYONE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I IMMEDIATELY WAS SWEATING AND HOT AND I HAD TO BE BEET RED. A KRGOER EMPLOYEE CAME OVER WITH A BROOM AND DUSTPAN TO HELP SWEEP UP MY $119 DOLLARS IN COINS. WE RECOVERED MOST OF IT.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I NOW ROLL MY COINS ( WHICH SAVES MONEY ANYWAY, MISTAKE 2)

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT...2 OF MY MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS

IT COULD BE WORSE! FOR SURE!!

TRY THIS LIST FOLKS.

What are 5 Things that make you most Happy right now?

Well most of these are obvious, however,  I am still gonna list them and the reasons.

1. My hubby. I call him my Sexy Charlie. There are a million reasons he makes me happy but let me give you the prime example today, 
              This morning I had to run errands..I was dreading to go because I had to stop and get gas first. I hate to get gas. It peeves me. SO I get in my car to go and I no longer get gas. He went to the store unbeknownst to me and filled up my car!!! I was estatic. He knew this would make me happy and glad. This is how he is. He goes out of his way to make me happy all the time. I love him.

2.  Following at a close 2nd. Well we all know it's pretty much a tie! MY LITTLE DUCKS. Of course I call them my little ducks because they follow everywhere! You know, even to the potty! They are my reason for waking up each day. I love each of them in 3 different ways. They are each my favorite in 3 different ways. They make me so happy and I love them more than will ever be able to understand. At least until they have their own.!
                   
3. The 3rd thing that makes me happy right now is the fact that I am able to stay at home with them at this particular moment. It hasn't always been like this. I have always worked full time along with my hubby. We have to to make things work. It makes you sad leaving your little ducks to go off for 8-10 hours. For some odd reasons, I am able to be at home at this time. It will not last much longer but I am super happy for all the moments that I am here. I am glad to be their taxi and maid and glad that I CAN!  I would definitely choose a Wife/Mom Career over an Out in the field career anyday. It just doesn't always work out!

4. My iPhone. I am the most unmaterialistic person. I do not NEED things. Really. I don't. When my phone broke a while back I treated myself to the iPhone. I Love it. It's mine. It is the only "toy" that I have. That is why I love it. I don't want to live without it anymore!!  It's like being a little kid with your blankie that you can't leave. I am glad to have it and happy that we can afford it right now.

5.  I am happy that I still have my parents. I worry about this a lot. We are all getting older everyday. We have had a lot of people our own age die recently. If people our age are dying then the older people definiely are. We lost a close family member not to long ago and that got the wheels turning on my parents. I am so happy they are still here. I want to make sure I go out of my way to keep up with them and let them know how much I care. I think as kids we think our parents will always be here..and that's just not the case. Makes me wanna go hug them right now!!

What are the things that make you happy in your life at this time???
