Sorry to hear that you hurt. I don't have psoriasis, but I have some allergy- and hyper-sensitivity skin reaction issues and I know that it is not fun at all. What do you use on it/for it?
- Katy S
I have been taking this herbal stuff (pills) that have reduced things by 50% but I still have bad days and yesterday was one. 8 pills a day is NOT fun.
- ld
That would not be fun. I'm the queen of topical treatments, moisturizers, corticosteroids, etc. While they don't cure anything, some of the Aveeno products calm my skin, make it less itchy, etc.

My best friends baby brother had to leave the Marine Corp because he has it, and he says it is not pleasant

Imagine feeling like your whole back is on fire all day. That's what it is like for me on bad days.

Oatmeal bath? doesn't Aveeno make one? Aloe Vera Gel? Especially if u put it in the fridge.
- Gabrielle V
Oatmeal bath, no effect. Dead sea salt bath, some... The herbal stuff is still what helps the most.

Is yours the erythrodermic kind? the big issue is that everyone reacts differently. So regardless if one thing worked for one person,doesn't mean it'll work for you. Stress prolly adds to your flares ups. have you noticed if any foods do? Usually spicy,citrus, coffee, alcohol and chocolate are the main skin evils. sad, I know. One of my old instructors would prolly tell u to drink a shot of apple cider vinegar everyday. It cures a million and one things, or so people say.
- Gabrielle V
Stress is probably what brought the onset. I used to have an extremely high stress job. Too bad, I love spicy, coffee and chocolate =) The vinegar sounds nasty but I'll try it...

Just back from an hour long soak in the tub. Feeling somewhat better. That is till the next flareup. This lifestyle really sucks.

I also have psoriasis and it sucks major ass. I use enbrel injections and a topical creme (don't remember the name). I also use an herbal shampoo from herbalife. Tea tree shampoos help every once in a while. The enbrel doesn't seem to Hellas much anymore. I need to see the dermatologist again.

The Mr. has it pretty bad. When he mows the yard, he does it with his shirt off to let the sun kill some of it. I feel sorry for the neighbors; I signed up to see that, but they didn't! He just stopped taking the liver-killing drugs; that stuff's so bad they only let you take it for a short time (can't remember if it's weeks or months). I'm not sure if he's supposed to move on to the heart-exploding stuff next. He hates the treatments, but had to do something when the psoriatic arthritis showed up.

I wish I could post to Tumblr using FF's bookmarklet. It's so much nicer than Tumblr's.
"BURBANK, Calif. – It took a radio disc jockey to remind Jay Leno where he'll stand in "Tonight Show" history when he walks off the stage for the last time Friday. Leno was at the wheel of one of his famous vintage cars when he heard the DJ conduct a pop quiz: Who's the second-longest-running host of "Tonight," after Johnny Carson? "The guy on the radio actually got it before I did," Leno said Thursday, smiling. "It just sort of made me laugh. I went, 'Oh, that's pretty good.'" Maybe even better than good? "I come from 'pretty good,'" replied Leno, unfailingly modest in interviews. "If somebody wants to say even better, that's great.""

Woah...I watched that show when it was Carson, and now his successor's moving on? I feel so old.

"The American record industry allowed itself to be bamboozled into giving WalMart and similar operations a near monopoly over their music. It was a catastrophe for them and their artists, especially emerging artists who now have no place to sell their CDs. But it should be no problem for a superstar act like Green Day, right? Well, no. Green Day won't self-censor their songs, which WalMart demands of artists, even platinum-selling ones. So they're not carrying 21st Century Breakdown, the band's politically charged brand new album.

You are really taking me back to a great time in my life with this. Thanks : )

I spent an hour yesterday finding covers. The cover by Cotton Club Singers / Singers Unlimited is quite good. If anyone has that mp3, pls pass it along.. Here are some other songs I found yesterday. http://friendfeed.com/leather...

Help me remember, PLEASE! There was a movie where the name of one of the characters was the "Thin Lipped Man" or something like this and had long chin length hair. I can't remember for the life of me what the name of the movie is and it's driving me NUTS!
I don't know, Derrick. I make a pretty mean glaze that involves cherries and cherry brandy.
- Katy S
Yes cherry brandy and weeds!!! Drunk and high, I think Katy might be onto something...

Just remember: no foxgloves! This isn't an Edwardian murder mystery.
- Katy S
Um, I meant the weeds in the backyard. LOL at no one on FF mentioning that. Everyone's a pothead =P

Sure I did, why do you think I told you to make sure it wasn't horse nettle? That crap's poisonous!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I was trying to prevent a major coronary incident! Those pretty flowers and leaves can kill you.
- Katy S
I hate weeds. Can someone please tell me why they exist, other than making me mad, of course.
- सत्याग्रह {Bren}
Bren: they're native plants adapted to your area and are what keeps your dirt from eroding away when there's no imported grass in your lawn. Other than that: they're there to make you made =D
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I love weeding. oh wait. you aren't one of my library peeps. you mean that other weeding. yes, that's hard and it suuuuucks.
- holly
Piss. I should just tear out the lawn and let my yard revert to a state of nature. My neighbors would probably love that
- सत्याग्रह {Bren}
LOL! There are no-mow lowgrowing wildflower seed mixes available, Bren. They grow 3-6 inches tall, stay green, and have little flowers in them. Typically, they take a lot less water than an actual lawn too.

So if you are already on twitter and someone new joins twitter and sends you an invite, guess what? You can't tell what their FREAKING twitter name is. #FAIL
Next up, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People". I didn't realize Simon Pegg was in it. AWESOME. Now I have to download Hot Fuzz just to watch it again.
A Tudor who tooted a flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot. Said the two to their tutor, "Is it harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

If specifying the @ in the middle of the tweet instead of at the beginning enables you to see the tweet. Guess what? It's the same amount, if not more, of work as Twitter still has to parse the message and send it to you. In fact, it would be more as the entire string has to be checked instead of the first character.

Why ... are you not putting your whole thought into the initial post?
- Joel Bennett
Leather: i beieve they are differentiating what they do not by @ location but by whether the user clicks reply. If not, only then do they parse and propagate accordingly.

I'm trying to track down the official announcement, if any, or an unifying #tag of these new Twitter changes. On surface it appears to be a move in the right direction, to make the environment less chaotic, and more predictable, for newcomers. Has Twitter Intergalactic Corps. actually quoted "technical reasons" for the development?
- ianf ⌘
But that's the reason I like you since you tolerate a lot more than most women =D
- ld
Well, this is true. I won't block you for that kind of stuff but it doesn't really do much for me other than to elicit an "ew. no." but you're not the first male friend to forget that i'm a girl who likes to look at pretty things. that's the curse of being mistaken for one of the guys.
- patricia
Oh no, I don't think you are "one of the guys". I just think you have a higher tolerance level.
- ld
I guess one could argue the trannys are attractive so technically, I did not violate the "pea likes to look at pretty things rule".
- ld
I wasn't referring to the tranny questions. I was referring to the link with the football, dodobird. Pay attention.
- patricia
Yeah, I didn't need to be reminded of that in conjunction with that link. Am I gonna have to put you on probation again? You're barely out of the last one, you know. AND you didn't get me my mango!
