Today has been rough

My therapist cancelled today cuz of a family emergency involving a fur baby. I really needed to talk but I can understand his need for time for personal stuff.

Pauley has been in a foul mood today. I've been trying to give her some space but I really need comfort.

None of my other friends are online. I just really want to talk to someone.

Pauley has been trying to send my X-rays to my previous surgeon but there's huge miscommunication and she's losing her temper. I tried going to the portal for the records but I can't figure out how to send them. I'm useless when it comes to computers. And now the person she was emailing is off work. So that was a waste of 3 hours.

My face is flaking like crazy and super itchy. I gotta figure out which cream goes on my face. My eyebrows are awful. My beard is so itchy. I made it bleedy. #Psoriasis

I don't want to cook dinner tonight. I just don't care. My head is foggy but doesn't hurt. I started taking propranolol 3 days ago and pauley asked if I noticed anything different. Um no? Isn't it going to take some time?

I reached out to the Endo online to schedule an appointment. I'm hoping to hear back by tomorrow. But I have to fax the referral. I have the fax number so I'll just email my doctor to fax it over.

So many moving parts.2 days until my big appointment. I'm so nervous.

Today

I've got an appointment at noon for my next invega injection. It's definitely time. My depression and anxiety are so awful. I'm also going to pick up a script that my psych doctor wrote for me on Monday. The pharmacy is in the same building. I asked him for something as needed for anxiety and the best he could offer was propranolol. I've been on it before but don't know why I stopped. I guess we'll figure it out. Anywho

My scalp on top of my head has a few really painful scabs. I had pauley look at it last night and she was like whoa. I've been scratching my scalp but I didn't think I scratched it where the scabs are.

In other news... I'm going to an event on the 19th that I'm very excited about. There is a local art school/studio. They have 4 floors of space for students. They're doing an open house on the 19th and serving free wine and pizza. They have a sculpting studio with a kiln! I've been trying to find somewhere I can do some sculpting. This might be just what I need.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Nightingale25. I'm here because I currently have a moderate/severe outbreak of guttate psoriasis. My usual anti-biotic treatment isn't working this time. I would like to hear about some natural treatments that have been successful in reducing the inflammation and shortening the time of healing.

Gentle reminder that whatever you say to yourself in your mind comes out and affects you even if you don't mean it to

I definitely need to work on how often I vent frustration with the body I have been given. Every so often I have to stop and readjust my thoughts for the better, thanking my body for all it does to try to do what I want.
It does the best it can and I need to appreciate what it can offer.
