World Psoriasis Day 2015....

If you didn't know, now you do! Today, October 29th is World Psoriasis day. A day celebrated worldwide by many a Psoriasis sufferer, to educate others, and also to acknowledge how far treatments have come over the years with so many options now available.

I know Psoriasis is something, if we all could choose, we wouldn't want to have it. But there are positives to come from it and for me a bit part of that was how much of a community you will find from fellow itchys. People are so eager to educate as well as share their own experiences and advise when times are tough.

For myself, the Psoriasis Ireland group on Facebook has been so helpful and so welcoming, be it to rant or rave, you'll always find someone who will set you on the right path. There are plenty of forums out their also, as well as other Facebook pages/groups from different countries.

I want to end this by sharing a video by a beautiful little girl named Pearl, who is an inspiration in speaking out about how it feels to live with Psoriasis and deal with it from a young age. I wish I had her confidence. When I developed it at age 17, it was the awkward years, in high school and a lot of focus on how you look. I wish I was a brave as this girl back then, thankfully I have grown a lot as a person since :)




Until next time......
