He knows he will be living a life of pain the rest of his life.
He's tried ALL the treatments and had bad reactions so now he's on nothing and copes as best he can. He goes on the computer, plays his games and gets his mind off of EVERYTHING.
Everything else is on ME and you want to talk stress???? lol
But I have boundaries up and I won't let them down. So stress rolls off of my back, but then again, I'm not dealing with the neuropathy pain he deals with every single day of his life.
So many factors are at play here. I wonder if someday, somewhere, someone will come up with SOMETHING that has a one two punch. Knock out the neuropathy and get rid of the psoriasis.
Thanks much

Melody, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's problems. I have had psoriasis for the past 20 years. It was not a bad case but would appear every summer on my elbows, knees, and hands. My sister had a really bad case of psoriasis, and told me to use Cetaphil. I started using it, and for the past 2 years my psoriasis has not returned. I think Cetaphil might stop the skin from shedding too early which is what it does with psoriasis. It wouldn't hurt for him to try it. I was amazed how it finally disappeared after 20 years. The sun seemed to make mine worse.
I also have the famous "IDIOPATHIC" PN. I use Topricin at night, and it helps with the burning and pain. Hope you and your husband are able to find some peace and be pain free.
