hi sarah and jean, sarah i know what you mean you get lulled into a false sense of security, i did some weeding smallish back garden and ive now got sciatica like pain but least i was able to get about in the garden,hope you sleep better tonight, you certainly cope a lot better whan youve had a good nite sleep but do you find you yawn all day as if you could carry on sleeping xx

I'm using eumovate on my face at the moment and it seems to fade it for a while. Its on the side where my hair is a bit thin, too.

Puss that sounds about right feel better than have done and then do too much, think we all do that.
I wasn't doing too bad but then yesterday went on a little journey with OH to collect some bits for his project from Essex! Even with the seat in his car carefully adjusted for me I got home with pains in my back. couldn't get comfortable in bed and when I did sleep had the weirdest dreams and kept waking. Feel like the living dead today and have been hobbling round like an old woman.

Jean I hate getting psoriasis where it shows, not been so bad with it being winter because I can cover up but with the spring hopefully on it's way I am well aware of how awful my elbows and knees look. I've also got a patch on my face which I'm kind of controlling. When I had my worst attack, as a student, I had it down both sides of my face and on my shoulders,arms and neck - my lovely brother said I looked like an alien from star trek. I found that I suddenly developed an aversion to the washing powder I'd been using for a while changing that helped me a bit and I'm trying using aloe vera gel to moisturise, it's not making it any worse so I hope it might actually help

after initial dose of morphine 25ml oral i feel goodish ive managed to do a bit of weeding held marley while specky shaved him now im kernakered and going to eat a micro noodle xx

star can they operate on yer back, heard that they can use metal discs surrounded with gell or something like that lol ..........its happened in america,
ive had a fairly good day to day hope its to do with the weather that means im going to be ok again this summer, going to try and find out why the cold makes pain worse xx

No burning pain anywhere else just my toe but trouble is it effects my walking that then has a knock on effect on my back(had discs out when nursing so never been right).

Star

why whats wrong with yours my oh has a very bad back, probably from carrying m home from pubs years ago lol x

A real bad back's no joke !

Hi star glad the narproxan are helping , natalie is on them, how do you cope with the burning pain, i dont cope very well even morp dont shift it it just numbs me , its weired i hardley need my inhaler now, wonder if ive grown out of it hope so, i remeber saying to specky im dreading the winter i bet i will hrt, have hurt more that ever this year, have you ever had the burning pain anywhere else star xx

Hi all hope you are all in not so much pain. The naproxen seems to be working for my hands/knees(do seem to be getting a lot of er wind lol since being on it) but the pain in my left big toe has changed and it is almost constantly a burning pain in it now. I had to see the asmthma nurse she is pleased so far but has warned me there is still time for it to affect it so i have to watch out for the return of my cough/breathlessness. I luckily see the gp again in 2 weeks. Do amit the sun has lifted my spirits but as its getting colder again i,m wary of the pain getting worse.



Star

managed to clean part of it , but the burnin still there not long to go now xx

woke this morning always feel as if ive got the flu the burning around my ribs was very hot would be as im planning to clean the cooker today hope everyone is not in too much pain xxx

Sarah, funny you should say that, my psoriasis has been bad this week, and am now getting some that shows, a pink area down the side of my face that can get a bit scaly. Other is in the groin, so no tights. Hair, ears and navel also affected. Now the tops of my legs are itching. Might be allergic to suspenders.

lol robert can imagine xx

Thanks LPC,
Got it sorted after 2 operations --but I won't go in to detail!!

sorry you have that robert its very nasty hope you get it sorted xx

hi sarah yes i agree the better weather is helping never know could feel like this till winter again, that would be nice, had a good summer last year so fingers crossd, also glad your feeling better xx
sarah im not with it lol an ex of mine had sceriosis and i know hoyou feel, he usd to use sudocreme and it worked for the time i was with him really hope you feel better sonn xx

Hi everyone. Have to say that a couple of days of reasonable weather have helped me no end. I'm still in pain but I'm trying to stay upbeat. I am actually suffering with the pain that I find hardest to cope with at present, it isn't the strongest but it is the one that gets to me the most. I suffer with the skin condition psoriasis (another auto-immune disorder) and it is flaring up. I have large patches under both arms, amongst other places, and it is driving me crazy. It's stupid really because I cope with stronger pain but this gets me every time.

Kidney stones

lets hope it inproves it must of being very frightning and hope the drugs work for you take care p dorf xx
