Thank you! It dos mean he has to be in White City (about 20 minutes out of town) for 8:30, but hey, more income!

8, actually. Well, 7 tomorrow, but then I hope to be able to work 9 to 5:30.

[lizamanynames]

Ah, well, I was close. :-*

[lizamanynames]

My understanding is that I can't actually ever get rid of it, just controll outbreaks. But I do hope I'm able to do that.

Awww, well, yay for non-total suckage! :)

[lizamanynames]

Indeed! I take the good where I can get it! XD

That sounds like the first line to a They Might Be Giants song. XD

TMI ALERT!

I had psoriasis 3 years ago. It was eating my body away. I had it covering my girly-bits (omfg oww) my whole belly and hip region, up my side, under my breasts, and under my arm pits. I thought I was going to tear my skin off, it itched so badly. I could hardly stand to shower; the rash was angery!red and I would scratch till I bled. I went to three doctors, including the emergency room (they told me it was a yeast infection spread by using the save razor on my under arms and bikini zone. They slathered me in Vaginex, which was sooo gross.), before they figured out what it was. Then I got wonder cream and I swear, it was gone in two days.

I've got scaring on my inner thighs, and a few spot on my tummy, plus a long groove-like scar under one arm from where the skin was gone and new skin grew. But since that one time, it's never come back. I'll look in my med cubbard and see if I can get you the name of the mircle cream.

Have you seen a skin doctor about it?

Not about this latest outbreak, but I probably should.
