My Story

Hi, Welcome to my blog.  My name is Andrea and I've had psoriosis since I was about 11 years old.  It used to only bother my scalp, then as the years went by I found it would spread to some other area.  Over the last 10 years it went from one or two spots on my body to covering most of my back, my chest area, my stomach and bikini line area, my ears, neck (both front & back), elbow, several spots on my legs and one on my toe, my forehead, my eyebrows and my nose. 

I have read up on most of the prescription drugs out there and know I won't risk more of my health in trying them.  The side effects are incredible.  I've recenly been reading all the books I can get my hands on about psoriosis, auto-immune disorders and natural health.  I am on a journey to return my body to a healthy state and clear skin.  I will be sharing pictures as I try different things as well as useful information for others also struggling with auto immune issues (especially psoriosis). 

I welcome you to share in my journey and struggles.  For years I've covered up everything I could.  I wear long pants/sleeves all the time.  I refuse to wear my hair up because it shows my neck and ears.  I can't wear anything low cut or you see the beet red colored skin there.  The itching is just incredible to the point sometimes the skin will crack and bleed.  Psoriosis is a horrible thing to live with and can really hurt your self confidence.  I decided it's time to stop hiding and start sharing.  There are so many others out there struggling also and my heart is with them.  Come share in my experiences as I stop hiding and start living.
