Itching again!

Oh dear. Oh hell! Waking during the night I became aware thst I was rubbing my face badly. I stopped and went back to sleep only to wake again a few moments later with the need to scratch. Getting out of bed I saw the problem. My psoriasis is back. It’s been under control for weeks now and I had almost forgotten about it...hoping for a cure...But it’s back. It does help thst this time there is a name for it. I have had several weeks enjoying its absence but it’s back. The fact that no one else is going to see it during this lock down does help....but not much. I should have expected it I suppose but I didn’t. So now I’m trying to rationalise the situation by pondering on what might have started it up again. No one will see it during this lockdown but that doesn’t actually help. I see it every time I look in a mirror. Oh dear. During this period it really doesn’t matter but it’s annoying. And it means that I’m probably stuck with it for ever now on and off...So I’m trying to think of anything I did or ate yesterday to bring it back but nothing springs to mind. So on we go...I am not going to frighten anyone just now but I have had half an hour of digging out the ointment that helps. Outside the sun shines...the world is still quiet even though it’s Saturday. I gave up sun bathing last year but I will enjoy my garden today...wearing a big hat.

Oh dear indeed.

I hope that you have some of the treatment from the last episode to use, if not, a call to the Dr or Pharmacist might be a good idea.

I too suffer from psoriasis on and off, it was much more evident when I was working and under pressure. I am told that nervous energy or anxiety can bring it on. Not sure whether your isolation is causing it, but worth a check.

Will pray for some remission for you. And find some mittons to wear in bed to obviate the scratching.
