Psoriasis Can Interfere With Your Quality Of Life

I could write a book about this. Itching can interfere with sleep. I had a very severe case of psoriasis where plaques appeared on my hands and made it hard for me to work. The plaques and itching made me self-conscious about my appearance.

In what ways has PsO interfered with your life? So many of us would like to know. Please share.

  1. Everyone should have a comment on this. Just living day to day with psoriasis can be challenging. You might have a few good days, but for me they were far and in-between, especially in my younger years. I mostly felt alone, embarrassed, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and very angry at the world. What things have you done to change your perspective about having PsO? Diane (Team Member)

    1. I felt all the things you stated, alone, embarrassed etc. etc. Now if someone sees my psoriasis, I use it to tell them what psoriasis is. There are still so many people who do not even know what psoriasis is. Nothing is going to change for any of us until everyone knows what psoriasis is and that they cannot get it by being near us.
