  Right now there is nothing that can overcome the shame of two cheaters, cheating together on their spouses while married.

  Shame on YOU! If you want to date, divorce first.

  I have psoriatic arthritis and am on enbrel injections. as far as the skin breakouts, this stuff is a miracle drug. I stay like 95% clear when I'm doing the shots. They're like once a week, in either your leg or stomach which is not as bad as it sounds. If your insurance coverage is not the greatest for this drug, they have enbrel assist which is a total Godsend. I think actual cost is 500 bucks a shot, so 2K a month. it's supposed to slow the joint damage down and help with the fatigue and pain. I know I feel way better on it than when I'm off of it. If you have an illness or infection you have to stay off Enbrel or it can make the infection ten times worse. I've done plaquenil, sulfasalazine orally, methotrexate and remicade, which are chemo type drugs,but this has been the best so far.

  This is a serious medical condition and does not deserve to be laughed at. See your doctor immediately if you have dry patchy rash anywhere on your body. Sometimes it starts on your elbow or behind your ears. It can be debilitating. I am a registered nurse and know about such things. There is treatment but you have to bring it to your doctor's attention first. Good luck!

  What is psoriasis? What causes psoriasis? Is there a cure or treatment for psoriasis? Psoriasis is a skin condition, it is a disease, but it is not contagious. The name comes from the Greek word for "itch." It can be hereditary, caused by external influences (allergic reaction to foods or the environment) and sometimes stress. 4-5% of the population is known to be affected, and this number is growing. However, it is suspected that 1 in 5 people have some form of psoriasis either descripts or none descript.

  Once you have psoriasis, it is very likely you will have it for ever. It may go away, and come back. It might respond to various treatments, and it may not. Basically psoriasis is your body over producing skin cells. You have too many skin cells in one location which is why it often swells up, becomes dry and even flaky. It can often be very itchy, red, sore, cracked and very tender. Psoriasis usually affect the scalp, hands, stomach, knees, feet and elbows. It is linked to dandruff and unfortunately to some forms of arthritis.
