Psoriasis Nearly three percent of the world's population endure the symptoms of psoriasis. Many tolerate constant pain from cracking and bleeding skin. They bear the humiliation of continually shedding scales that litter their clothes and surroundings. They struggle with the disappointment of treatments and the lack of a cure. Some wrestle with a crippling form of arthritis, called psoriatic arthritis. More than anything, they sometimes bear the brunt of public rejection because of the misunderstanding surrounding the disease. Yet, much of the world's population finds psoriasis a trivial matter requiring little understanding or sympathy. Sometimes they even find it humorous and enjoy a chuckle over the "heartbreak of psoriasis" an advertising tagline made popular in the USA. Some people still equate psoriasis with being unclean or self imposed and shun those who bear its mark. When, in fact, many people with psoriasis isolate themselves because of such a deep sense of shame. Psoriasis associations from around the world give people the tools to cope with this troubling disease. They rebuild people's hope and give them the support they require. IFPA provides the reinforcement to build better psoriasis associations, gives member associations a global voice to campaign on behalf of those who bear its mark, and the unity that strengthens everyone's ability to support research that will someday find a cause and a cure for these diseases. What is psoriasis? Psoriasis is a life-long skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches called lesions to appear on your skin. The lesions can show up on any area of the skin. There are several different kinds of psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is the most common form of psoriasis and it is characterized by red-looking skin lesions topped with silvery white scales. Guttate psoriasis is also fairly common and it is characterized by red, small, dot-like lesions covered with silvery white scale; Pustular psoriasis has blister-like lesions of fluid, which is not infectious, and intense scaling. It can appear anywhere on the body, but often it appears on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Inverse psoriasis is very red lesions with little or no scales and appears in the skin folds, such as the arm pits, creases in the groin and under the breasts. Erythrodermic psoriasis is rare and looks very red and swollen, lots of shedding of dead skin, and painful. About 30 to 50 percent of people with psoriasis also get psoriatic (sore-ee-attic) arthritis, which causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints. This type of arthritis most often affects the hands, feet, wrists, ankles and lower back. Who gets psoriasis? Psoriasis affects nearly three percent of the world's population. It can develop in males or females of any race or age. It often appears between the ages of 15 and 35, although it can strike at any age including infants and the elderly. What causes psoriasis? No one knows exactly what causes psoriasis. Doctor's believe it is related to the body's immune system and that it is genetic, meaning that it can run in families. In people with psoriasis, the immune system is mistakenly "triggered" causing skin cells to grow too fast. The rapidly growing cells pile up in the skin's top layers, leading to the formation of lesions on the surface. Right now, there are many psoriasis associations around the world supporting research to find out why people get psoriasis and how it can be treated or even cured. How bad can psoriasis get? Psoriasis can be limited to a few areas of the skin (mild), or it can be moderate or widespread and severe. A normal skin cell matures in 28 to 30 days and sheds from the skin unnoticed. Psoriatic skin cells mature in only three to four days. They "heap up" and form scaly lesions. Psoriasis lesions can be painful and itchy and they can crack and bleed. How do I know I have psoriasis? A physician usually makes the diagnosis after looking at the skin. Occasionally a physician examines a skin biopsy under a microscope. Pitting of the nails is sometimes a sign of psoriasis. There is no specific medical test for psoriasis. Is psoriasis contagious? No, people cannot catch psoriasis from someone else. What are some of the myths surrounding psoriasis? Unlike other ailments, psoriasis can be seen on the skin and often people guess at what is wrong. They wonder if the lesions might be contagious, which they are not, or that the person who has psoriasis is unclean, overly nervous or high-strung, which they may be, but that is not the reason they have psoriasis. Sometimes they may believe the person who has the skin disorder did something to cause psoriasis to appear but that, too, is also false. Psoriasis is a disorder stemming from a physical defect just like other disorders, such as arthritis, asthma, diabetes or nearsightedness. It is very important to educate the public about psoriasis and not allow myths to spread. What are the chances of getting psoriasis? It is not possible to predict who will get psoriasis. Heredity (the genetic transfer of features from parent to child) plays a role, but some people who have psoriasis have no obvious family history of psoriasis. Is there a cure for psoriasis? Not yet. Psoriasis is a disorder that most often needs lifelong treatment. And because there are so many different medications for the disorder, it may take some time before the right treatment or combination of treatments will work for an individual. Sometimes psoriasis becomes worse (called a flare) than at other times. In some cases, psoriasis can go away on its own for a period of time, which is known as a "spontaneous remission." I suffer with Psoriasis as well as Psoriatic arthritis and think it is important to try and get as many people as possible to understand what psoriasis is and most importantly it is not contagious! Living with Psoriasis effects your every day life. Apart from the pain it can cause, having to change the bed sheets every day because your skin has been bleeding, wearing long sleeved tops even through the summer...there is also the emotional impact it has on your life. I have been at stages where my psoriasis totally covers my body, as well as my face and scalp. The looks and the comments I have had from people (not just strangers but also people I know and even family) are so hurtful it got the stage where I would not go out unless I absolutely had to....which is why I think world psoriasis day is so important. I would rather people look at me and think...oh she has psoriasis instead of thinking OMG look at her skin, and dragging their kids away from me (yes this has happened) I haven't posted any photos of psoriasis, but I can if you would like...or if you have any questions, feel free to ask them...the more people who are educated in what psoriasis is the easier life will be for all us psoriasis suffers

I think its a good idea to look at the average price of cc;s and make sure you have enough before asking for a trade. It is not fair to post in the looking for section then expect members to give them to you for a very cheap price...that is begging not trading

now the super, super stick only gets bought out when people try and steal the super stick

Those of you who have been in the chat quizzes with me would of heard me mention the stick...especially while threatening Smorkle lol Well I thought I'd better explain what the super stick is. Ages, and ages ago, we were having a discussion in the moads board about a member, and I told the mods not to worry about it and if need be I would become super strict lea and deal with it. But as usual the typos took over and I ended up saying I would become super stick! Since then I have often threatened to get the super stick out when people mis-behave (especially Smorkle for some reason ) and even have it under my profile picture (wonder how many of you noticed that lol) Anywhooo...this is how the super stick came about, so if you are chatting to me and I threaten to get the stick out...at least now you know why lol

I love my sons Halloween outfit! Nothing scary about it though lol

It has to be the best 'spooky' video around

such a shame the hideeni outfits are cash coin items They are avaliable now, you can get them from your house the same way you would get the GMB's

I've read the spoon theory before, it is a very clever way of explaining how living with a disability affects their every day life

http://www.petsociety.forumotion.com/news-announcements-f7/over-the-meadow-and-through-the-woods-t14078.htm#389178 new items revealed in PSFC news

good luck for tomorrow Chiaretta xxx Today we;re off to see my Nanna, then not really sure what we will be doing, apart from getting ready to add the spoilers as soon as they are released lol What are you all hoping for next week? I think they should bring in some bonfire night items, as it is Bonfire night a week after Halloween. Uhhmmm not sure what else...maybe just some bog standard wall paper and flooring, instead of everything being themed? Hope you all have a good day xxx ps Chiaretta get off the pc and do some revision

Phoebe is 3...and to be honest she wasnt too bad the next couple of nights...once I figured out what she was worried about. She was worried about me not being there when she woke up, so when I put her to bed we lock the front door and then put my keys in her bedroom so she knows I cant go anywhere I'm at Mums this week and I'm just hoping Phoebe is still going to be as good when I get back home and she goes back into her own bed

well I know I'm disconnected from reality so I guess its really fitting to see it every time I sign in

added a few more for you...hope you like them :hallocat: :devildisc: :batfly: :Happyhallo: :bat2: :flywitch: :catdis:
