Feeling Isolated with Co-Morbidities at 20

👍

Hi! I’m 22 and I’m in the same boat. The thing that helps me the most is radical acceptance, no matter what happens I think to myself “I am great the way I am” surrounding yourself with good friends who understand you also helps a lot

🤗 , I can definitely relate to your feelings. I have been on three biologics and none of them have completely removed all the symptoms that go along with PSA. In the middle of taking Cosentyx it got so bad that I looked like a leper . It was terrible. On the second biologic it started clearing my breakouts but I started having severe thrush and it moved to the bottom of my feet and my nails. I had a few areas on my scalp but when they started the third one-Stelara my whole scalp is broken out. I have several stubborn places that won’t heal. The itching is driving me crazy. It takes forever to get ready !!! By the time you shower with the right soap and exfoliate your skin then your hair…….. treat your scalp which is hard to do if you have any amount of hair. Then dry off, apply medicated cream, oil and lotion just to have dry skin again in a couple of hours. It’s really so frustrating. Has anyone tried clear Benadryl liquid to rub on your body to relieve the itching?
