Psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that affects millions worldwide, remains a mystery to many. Its development involves a complex interplay of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. As per a study, around 125 million people (2–3% of the total population) suffer from psoriasis all over the world. Around eight million people in the U.S. have psoriasis. In this article, we will be demystifying…

ok i should put this out there so people who are following me/my mutuals are aware, or even people who are just passing by and don't know me

i'm chronically ill, diagnosed with psoriasis, an auto-immune skin condition (which i really hate a lot). it's been getting rough for me and honestly my mental state isn't the greatest rn

i'm experiencing a flare up rn. and my skin hates itself so it just decides "hey, i'm gonna fuck up this person's appearance and make them insecure for as long as they have this condition" or something, and usually when my skin clears up, it's still most likely going to come back

so um while you're here, would you mind giving me a few words of encouragement? i kind of need it rn.

and if you know anyone with any chronic conditions, disabilities, invisible illnesses, or anything of the sort, just be there for them and give them support, it might mean the world to them

thank you for reading <3

ohhhh ok. these mightve been "symptoms" and not "normal human experiences" <- said with disbelief

#borbtalks #got labwork done & my thyroid came back funky #they're doing further testing w/ my blood & ive a physical next week anyways #but online consensus is like. the number i got on my labs = defafto hypothyroidism diagnosis #and looking at the symptoms it's like. yes i have some of them. but there are Normal Explanations for them as well #like yeah ive been feeling cold. but it's winter ofc im cold.#yeah ive dry skin. but it's winter.#yeah im tired. but i have a chronic illness that is literally called chronic fatigue syndrome #yeah i have the globus sensation. conveniently right where my thyroid is. but idk maybe it's just acid reflux? which ive had forever?#on the grand scale of things. hypothyroidism is not that bad. it's treatable.#that doesn't mean i dont feel blindsided by it. and wishing i didnt get to add another diagnosis to the pile #please have mercy i already have too many specialists to see and conditions to treat and meds to take #TYPO: DEFACTO NOT DEFAFTO !!!

currently at That Point which occurs once every few months where one briefly begins pacing around the house teary eyed contemplating selling their own organs or becoming an online scammer or getting on anxiety meds so you can bear the risk taking required to be a hitman or so on and so forth.... why must everything so Expensive... Surely all would be healed in life if only I had one big plate of lasagna and a simple loan of $40,000 ... auoughhh....

#And then you just eventually shrug and go 'welp. nothing i can do i guess' and sad cartoon music plays as you shuffle back to your room #It's just hard with my specific physical and mental issues since it's like.. I couldn't really handle most jobs. I can't handle school. I'm #100% aromantic and asexual so I'll never get married so I can't get money that way. I have too much issues with social cues #+ too nervous temperament + too low energy to put effort into lying and having a fake relationship just for money. so on and so forth etc.#Really I should have just been born into a middle class family. Which I guess everyone says. but ESPECIALLY considering my #chronic conditions kind of hampering my ability to function 'normally' or be Independent in a regular way. I'm always going to be #in some way sort of beholden to the whims of people around me who I must depend on. so... well of course they might as well have been rich #lol like that would have been better for me of course.#AAANyway... Just thinking about another stupid fucking climate change summer... months keep going by so fast.. soon it will be so again #And it's like such SMALL things would make drastic improvements for me. Literally if I just had a place with central AC #then like 75% of my issues with summer would vanish instantly. literally. But instead it's like.. having a cheap hot apartment + only #half functional dinky window ac + my illnesses that make me heat sensitive + living in a part of the country that keeps getting hotter +#inability to leave the house much meaning I can't just go spend time in a cooler place etc. all factors which combine together to make #it just utterly miserable for MONTHS and mentally draining. And literally ALL I would need to fix that is just...#have a place with central AC that works.. (or move to a colder country/area but that also takes money. Or just not have illnesses #that make me heat sensitive. but that I can't control). etc. etc. I guess it's just the nature of the constant background frustration of #being part of The Masses under our current manifestation of unmitigated capitalism. Such minor details would make such huge #quality of life improvements and yet will remain ever out of reach. ONE little thing could change your whole life but you can't even have #that. so many 'If only' scenarios. etc. And of course obviously I am incredibly thankful just to have anywhere to live at all. food to eat #. any sort of stability whatsoever no matter how fragile it feels/is. But that still doesn't make it not frustrating occasionally to look #around and see how relatively little would have to change in order for you to be a decent percentage more comfortable and yet #how still far away even those ''small'' seeming goals are. etc. etc.#Seriously think I've been traumatized by the summer or something somehow lol like thinking about it being warm weather eventually #makes me nauseous with panic. It's just SOOO much labor. micromanaging windows and fans and blocking every ounce of light #and not being able to cook (cant even afford a single degree of temp increase due to the stove) for months and barely being able #to sleep for months and the claustrophobia of days on end crawling out of your skin because it doesnt even get cool enough at #night to offer relief so you're just always feeling trapped.. hgrhh...#It starts getting hot here sometimes in May but mostly June then lasts through October now.. thats like half the year almost.. ARghhH #anyway... If any extremely rich person reading this would like to buy me an air conditioned house in exchange for multiple years worth #of art (I will paint murals on all of your grand dining halls and make all the custom sculptures you could ever want etc) then.. hewwo :'3c

Why I hate how dandruff is presented

You've all seen the jokes- old man with dandruff, shaking his head and a cloud of snow falls down, dandruff just being there for a laugh... It's never treated as anything serious, ever. It's just a joke! And just a joke about old men at that.

I'm 17 years old. I've had dandruff since I was at least 11. I've been made fun of all that time for the white flakes that are a constant on my head.

I just saw dandruff as a joke, too.

At most, it was just my scalp being a bit dry, so it needed a moisturising shampoo.

Yeah.... Turns out I have scalp psoriasis. I'm in near constant pain, which gets worse whenever I'm ill or stressed, because psoriasis is an autoimmune disease. My immune system is attacking my own skin. It's gotten to the point where shampoo doesn't help. I'm just in pain, always. I'll have a doctor's appointment where we can discuss options soon hopefully.

It's painful enough that I end up with scabbing all over my scalp from scratching. I pull my hands away and my nails are bloody from repeatedly picking and itching the scabs.

So no, not just a funny joke.

When I mentioned how painful it was to my friend, (only referring to it as dandruff rather than psoriasis) he said "I didn't realise dandruff could be painful!". In fact, several conditions that can cause dandruff have the fact that they're itchy or sore in their their symptoms list- eczema, dermatitis, and of course psoriasis.

And yet people just see dandruff as a joke. Even now, I feel anxious writing this- I feel like someone's gonna read this and think 'why are they getting so serious about dandruff? Lighten up!'

Sure, for some people it's not painful. Just flaky. But even then, they can experience the same social issues I did- I still remember a pair of kids seeing my large white skin flakes on my dark hair and exclaiming that I had nits (lice for Americans), and running away shouting at me. I hate that it's treated as a joke, or stigmatised, and seen as just an old man thing.

It's an actually serious issue for so many people. Why isn't it treated as such?

#I could actually go on a whole rant about stigmatisation of skin conditions in general #but that's a rant for another day #chronic pain #pain #psoriasis #scalp psoriasis #skin condition #skin conditions #autoimmine disease #autoimmune disorder #dandruff

autoimmune disease/chronic illness talk:

autoimmune sucks, :( my diet is limited and i hate it man. can't eat gluten, dairy, red meat, shellfish, like wow my body is a real asshole to itself. like once i was born i was automatically destined to have a body that hates the preciously mentioned stuff and if i have too much of it my psoriasis kicks down the door and comes to torture my body and my mental state (but THANK GOD i'm not experiencing that rn and am in remission and asymptomatic of psoraisis)

and a ton of the foods i like are all made from things i can't eat because if i do give in and eat stuff with gluten, (however if i do eat a little then it seems to be fine... but still) it's literal torture and the foods i love are restricted to me because of my fucking condition

even when i want to find a snack in the pantry every one of them that i like contains something i can't eat

i know that it's better for me to stick to not eating it but i don't like it. i wanna go devour all the things i love regardless if they can trigger my disease, but then again if i do my condition will flare up and i'll go back to being in both physical and mental pain, and i never wanna go back to that hellhole again it's traumatizing

i wanna have a normal immune system dammit >:(
