Psoriasis, my seasonal friend!

 

Psoriasis, a chronic skin disease, autoimmune, an overproduction of skin cells, which uses stress as a good reason to spread through the body - non-contagious.

 

At the age of 15, my psoriasis appeared, covering 80% of my body in no more than a week, not giving me any time to adapt - it was not at all a slow dance, eheh.

 

During those 6-7 years of intense psoriasis, I gave up on friendships (I lost a lot of them, I got away from others), I gave up studies (I was always the girl with psoriasis / leprosy / aids - you teenagers name it! Bullied, before there would be a fancy Anglicism to characterize it in my country), I gave up jobs, gave up going to the beach (I mean, I was the center of attention I always hated to be), gave up on walks, gave up on myself, surrendered to what I thought to be defining me as a person to the world, and isolated myself - Now the whole me, was no more than a psoriasis patch, zero trust, zero self-esteem.

The little aesthetic self-esteem id get, I would search for it in the few photos I took at that time and used Photoshop (I learned to use Photoshop thanks to psoriasis! There's a plus!) To disguise the spots, trying to ignore it , pretending I did not have it. I wore all kinds of clothes that I could not identify with, but which covered them from the view of others (a little less bullying). The heat that I'd feel in the primroses until I isolate myself at home in the summers ... Ahah 😅!

 

BUT, nowadays the story is different! It took me a while to realize that psoriasis does not define me! It is part of me, today, and will always be, but it does not define me - AT ALL. Nowadays it does not appear in so many quantities, but it gives its air of grace.

 

Today, I thank psoriasis for the friends I lost at the time, they were certainly not friends for life. I thank psoriasis for my isolation, which prevented part of my character and the person I am today, from being part of an influence by teenage minds with whom I would have hang out during those years. Yes, I am a bit awkward and I have a rather peculiar way, but I love it.

It also allowed me to cultivate and increase my knowledge in areas of my interest (now, with so much free time and with no one to bother, eheh.). If I could not study in schools, I would study at home.

 

Today, I no longer see myself according to the amount of psoriasis that I have covering my skin - fuck it, I no longer deprive myself of a day at the beach, I no longer deprive myself of eating what I love just because I know it is a psoriasis trigger.. I mean, now we even take pictures together, and with a smiley face! (Bam!)

 

Life really has various forms of teaching and shaping us, such 'obstacles', at the time, we see them as our personal Cerberus, but in time we eventually realize what we are supposed to withdraw and learn from it. Psoriasis was certainly my super Cerberus, for many many years, until I've taken its strength away, today, let's call it a Chihuahua! (Rock on)

 

Finishing this sharing with you, I wanted you all to know that my Mother is the awesomeness of Mothers. She's always supported me to the fullest, trying to find all sorts of treatments and aids to slow down my psoriasis, who helped me through my colossal depressions, and who still helps me tirelessly to apply the patch lotions which are difficult to reach, and who helps me take care of my scalp, so my friends can continue to say that I have the most beautiful hair!

Thank you Mother, you are the greatest and you rock my world!

 

I wish you a rest of a wonderful week to all!

Thanks for your attention! <3

 

Blue Lagoon - Iceland

 

We maken een wandeling rond het complex van de Blue Lagoon. Het is een aangelgd meer in een lavaveld met afzetting van witte klei. Vanuit de cafetaria hebben we een zicht op het zwembad.

 

The Blue Lagoon (IJslands: "de blauwe lagune") is een geothermisch bad in de buurt van Grindavík, zuidwest IJsland.

 

Het bad, of eigenlijk een kunstmatig meer, ligt in een oud met mossen begroeid lavaveld. Het water heeft een temperatuur van 39 graden celsius en bevat ongeveer 2,5% zout. Het warme water is eigenlijk een bijproduct van de geothermische elektriciteitscentrale van Svartsengi. Het water is rijk aan mineralen, silicaten en blauwwieren die het een lichtblauwe, bijna opalescerende kleur geven. Het bad trekt veel mensen met de huidziekte psoriasis omdat het water een helende werking zou hebben. Het bad is een van de grootste toeristische trekpleisters van IJsland.

The Blue Lagoon geothermal spa is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The spa is located in a lava field in Grindavík on the Reykjanes Peninsula, southwestern Iceland. Bláa lónið is situated approximately 20 km (12 mi) from the Keflavík International Airport and 39 km (24 mi) from the capital city of Reykjavík, roughly a 20-minute drive from the airport and a 50-minute drive from Reykjavík.

Reykjavik (IJslands: Reykjavík) is de hoofdstad van IJsland. Het is de meest westelijke hoofdstad van Europa, en met een ligging net ten zuiden van de poolcirkel is het ook 's werelds meest noordelijk gelegen hoofdstad.

 

nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reykjavik

 

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city of Iceland. It has a latitude of 64°08' N, making it the world's northernmost capital of a souvereign state, and is a popular tourist destination. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxa Bay. With a population of around 120,000 (and over 200,000 in the Capital Region), it is the heart of Iceland's cultural, economic and governmental activity.

 

Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Ingólfur Arnarson, was established in AD 874. Until the 19th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was founded in 1786 as an official trading town and grew steadily over the next decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world.

Dan, my mother's boyfriend, has Psoriasis. For those who have never seen first hand what this condition can do.... well, it's something else.

 

Saturday morning, Dan, my mother and I pulled up the carpet in my room in an effort to fix a squeaky floor problem. Their bedroom is directly above mine and Dan wakes up VERY easily. I have a theory that it has something to do with him having gone to Vietnam.

 

During the finish of the project, he tore his knuckles wide open. He was more than happy to oblige me in having a photo taken of it.

My mom has psoriasis, she feels embarrased all the time.

Hope one day people would know that this disease is not contagious.

It is caused by stress, it is not infectious.

For years I have been wondering why we surround ourselves with useless objects, but now I see that they were merely waiting for me to give them purpose. My wife, on the other hand is far from useless, and full of surprises.

Esta enfermedad inflamatoria y crónica de la piel tiene su origen en un desequilibrio inmune y produce lesiones del tipo “escamosas” engrosadas. Si bien no es contagiosa si puede ser hereditaria. Es más frecuente en las mujeres que en los hombres y afecta principalmente en el cuero cabelludo, las rodillas, los codos, la espalda y el abdomen.

 

Los factores desencadenantes de la Psoriasis son las infecciones por bacterias, virus u hongos; el tratamiento con ciertos fármacos; factores psicológicos, climáticos o endócrinos y lesiones en la piel. En este artículo te contamos más sobre esta condición.

 

Entendiendo la psoriasis

 

En un artículo del sitio analítica.com nos dan datos muy interesantes sobre la enfermedad:

 

La psoriasis es una patología caracterizada por la proliferación anormal de las células cutáneas. Se desconoce con exactitud el origen de la afección, pero los médicos han descubierto que cambios en el sistema inmunológico de la persona y sus genes predisponen a dicha enfermedad, la cual afecta a 3% de la población mundial y se diagnostica a una edad promedio entre 30 y 40 años.

 

Pacientes con psoriasis, discriminados

 

Un problema habitual de aquellos que padecen psoriasis es sentirse discriminados por las personas que lo rodean. Como nos informan en El tribuno de Argentina:

 

Más del 80 por ciento de los pacientes con psoriasis aseguraron haber sufrido el estigma y la discriminación como consecuencia de esta enfermedad: sentirse humillado u observado, que le pregunten si es contagioso y que haya afectado sus relaciones sociales son las principales situaciones. En el consultorio es muy frecuente que las personas con psoriasis manifiesten a los dermatólogos su incomodidad de presentarse en público, de participar de actividades cotidianas como hacer un deporte, ir a la playa y tener que exponer áreas del cuerpo que habitualmente cubren.

 

La psoriasis y las enfermedades cardíacas

 

Como nos informan en el Diario de Carlos Paz,

 

Quienes padecen psoriasis severa tienen más probabilidades de padecer infartos o ACV. Si bien se trata de una enfermedad cutánea, las consecuencias de tratamientos irregulares o no tratamientos de la psoriasis puede desencadenar inconvenientes mucho mayores y afectan el corazón y el cerebro. Algunos estudios demostraron que la principal causa de muerte en personas con artritis psoriásica severa es la enfermedad cardiovascular, ya que tienen un riesgo mucho mayor de desarrollar síndrome metabólico.

 

Consejos para mejorar la calidad de vida si se tiene psoriasis

 

Más allá de seguir el tratamiento indicado por los médicos, en Diario Veloz recomiendan:

 

Realizar baños o duchas diarias con agua tibia.

 

Realizar baños o duchas diarias con agua tibia.

 

Evitar rascar la zona irritada, evitándose probables infecciones.

 

Reforzar el sistema inmunológico.

 

Evitar situaciones de stress.

 

Hacer ejercicio.

 

Hidratarse correctamente.

 

No fumar ni beber alcohol.

 

Comer sano y mantener un peso saludable.

 

Utilizar calzado cómodo cuando los brotes son en los pies.

 

Siempre consultar a su médico.

 

De ti depende vivir bien a pesar de esta enfermedad. No dudes en evacuar todas tus dudas en la consulta con un profesional.

The needles on his back and his jagged edged weapon are meant to inflict the pain of psoriatic arthritis.

The ball and stick design of a child's toy was suggestive to me of the way complex molecules are represented in chemistry. As medicines like Enbrel fight psoriasis via a process of chemical binding, I thought it appropriate to depict psoriasis as being defeated not by being killed or dismembered, but by being bound up to inhibit it from attacking the body. This is a medically valid depiction in the sense that medications like Enbrel don't actually kill the disease (i.e. cure the patient), they just work to keep it under control for as long as they can.

 

Put more specifically, Enbrel works as a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. What this means is that Enbrel is able to bind with active TNF in your body. By doing this, it can pull the TNF wherever it goes. This allows Enbrel to move the TNF from the joints and the bloodstream and forces it to be metabolized out of the body with the Enbrel.

Today's daily is a self portrait. Yep that's me... Pretty much everything I am in a nutshell. I use a lot of imagery here so let me explain.

 

I'm covered up because I don't want people to see my psoriasis but the chest is open a bit because I want to be able to just take my shirt off for the pool or to catch some rays. I'm also by myself out in the wilderness because sometimes I feel like that in real life. I'm wearing the scarf around my face my mother made for me for my birthday. A bit of a consumerist too so I've got on my favorite hoodie by American Eagle, pants by Hollister, and you can't see it but my cheap, warn out shoes I got at Target for working at Ritz Camera. =)

inflamed, dry, scaley skin....magnified 400 times, just for shitz and gigglez....

La psoriasis (AFI: [soˈɾja.sis], del griego ψώρα, picor) es una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica de la piel que produce lesiones escamosas engrosadas e inflamadas, con una amplia variabilidad clínica y evolutiva. No es contagiosa, aunque sí puede ser hereditaria, es más probable que la hereden los hombres que las mujeres.

Scientists are increasingly uncovering evidence of cross-talk between the nervous system and the immune system in many diseases, including psoriasis. Neurons (red) in mouse skin communicate with dermal dendritic cells (green), a type of immune cell, to drive inflammation in psoriasis. This role of the nervous system presents a new pathway for researchers to develop treatments for psoriasis and possibly other inflammatory skin diseases.
