When you get older...
I am a 70 year old female who was diagnosed at 19 with psoriasis but I am also a diabetic. I find the 2 conditions can feed each other and also I just get so tired of them both. I live alone and find it hard to examine my scalp myself and when I go to the hairstylist they politely say that they do not see anything! Recently I had a "Britney" moment and told the stylist to shave it all off. (It is just as bad only now I am bald) I have adult children and grandchildren who I will go to see on Easter. I am super embarrassed of the whole situation and feel like not going!
It makes sense that you’d feel tired of it all,
. Carrying psoriasis and diabetes for so many years is not an easy journey. But I just want to say, please don’t let this take away something as special as time with your children and grandchildren. They care about you, not your hair or your scalp. I know having things change about yourself can take a hit at your confidence and how you feel. But you showing up matters so much more than how you appear. You deserve to feel comfortable and supported, and you deserve those moments of joy with your family. I really hope you still go and let yourself be surrounded by that love 🧡 -Latoya (Team Member) I wish that had of been true! Life is not always the way we wish it would be. I left early on Easter as it wasn't the happy get together Norman Rockwell might have portrayed! It is what it is. I am making the best of it although the general conscensus about my psoriasis is I should wash more 🙁 I do believe me!
