A Psoriasis Wish

Have you ever had a nice thought hit you out of the blue? It can really take you back to a simpler or more peaceful time. At the same time, it makes you wonder why that thought hit you?

Last week such a thought hit me. I was coming home after almost a week of being with my children and granddaughter. The long drive back is a very boring one with not a lot of scenery to keep your mind occupied. As I was driving I began thinking about an old nursery rhyme.

What I wish for the psoriasis future

When you see a shooting star at night the rhyme goes like this: "I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight." Have you ever heard it? I am sure most of us have. It wasn’t nighttime when I thought about this rhyme so the likelihood of me seeing a shooting star was next to a zero chance.

However, it got me thinking of how this rhyme pertains to psoriasis. So here goes.

A treatment for all

I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight! I wish that there would be a treatment that everyone could tolerate without any side effects. Having just started a new treatment for my psoriasis has brought so many old questions with it. I say old because they are always the same.

Will this work on my psoriasis or will it fail like the others? Will I experience any of the side effects that I have heard comes with this treatment? A universal treatment would be fantastic in shutting down these old thoughts. It would work and there would be no tolerance problems ever. Knowing that what works for one but doesn’t work for another would make this wish almost impossible, right?

A cure

I wish I may, I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight! I wish for a cure for psoriasis so that none of us have to deal with this dreaded disease anymore. Wow, what a wish come true that would be wouldn’t it?

After dealing with psoriasis for over 17 years, a cure sure would be a new lease on life. Being in my 50’s I have to wonder will if that cure ever come in my lifetime. I still hold out hope though.

Let's get lost in wishes

That old nursery rhyme playing in my head over and over mile after mile as if I was hearing it for the first time and trying to learn the words. What made my mind put it in the context of my psoriasis? Maybe it is the million times that I have wished for these very things without thinking of that nursery rhyme.

Perhaps it is starting a new medication again for the sixth time and knowing that all the previous ones had failed. Whatever the reason I guess there are worse things to think about.

So what would you wish for? Did you think of something you could wish about after reading about mine? Did some random wish pop up for you? If so share it with us so that instead of the bad things about psoriasis we can all wish for something on the better side of it.

If nothing else at least for a while we can get lost in wishes instead of the itches.
