Maria Chavez55 said:Maxidex cream actually did wonders for my face; I haven’t had a single breakout in three weeks. My elbows are looking way better since I started using Petroleum cream and oil, too. But honestly? That same routine hasn't done a damn thing for my lower legs. It's the same old story down there—red, scaly, and itching like crazy...
I have a few questions about this Maxidex stuff. When I search for it on Google, it keeps telling me it’s an eye ointment, so I don't quite get how something meant for eyes can help with psoriasis. Secondly, I’m really hesitant about trying any Petroleum-based treatments. My father had the exact same diagnosis, and the treatment didn't just fail him—it nearly killed him. Things went south so fast that his doctors (everyone from Dr. Čikeš to Dr. Dirigl) couldn't even get his fever below 104 degrees for three straight months. He lost 90 pounds and was clinically dead. Thank God he pulled through, though even now, the doctors have no clue what happened or how he survived. So, where can you even find that Petroleum cream and oil? And how much different is it compared to the 20% Beloderma stuff?
Hey everyone, I haven't seen a dedicated thread for people dealing with psoriasis until now, so I figured I’d jump in and join the club. I was hit with this thing four years ago, all because of some massive stress blowout at work. At first, it was just arthritis and a tiny patch behind my ear. But about eighteen months ago, things really went south and the psoriasis moved into my nails. Within six months, my hands looked completely different. I used to have one lone nail that managed to escape the carnage, but even that succumbed to this damn disease about six months back. My old man has been dealing with psoriasis and arthritis since he was 91, so I had a front-row seat to what this illness does to you. He never had the nail issues, though, so I didn't even realize the nails could be part of the deal until it happened to me. Now, on top of the nail damage, I've got three patches behind my ear, one on my left forearm, and three spots on my legs. I've been using 20% Beloderm, but that just peels off the scales—the redness stays stuck like glue. As for the arthritis, I'm taking a hell of a lot of meds for that. So, here's the question: since we don't exactly have any world-class dermatologists here in my neck of the woods, and I don't have the time to trek over to a major city like Chicago for an appointment, is there anything better than Beloderm? I need something that kills both the scaling and the redness so it's at least less noticeable. It’s started breaking out on my forehead now, and honestly, I am sick to death of having to explain myself to people. Thanks a lot, and I’m praying for some optimistic advice here.
I headed back to the Spa Resorts of Palm Beach for the second time this year. It wasn’t just about managing the chronic back pain, but proactive maintenance after having surgery on my L4/L5 vertebrae. To be honest, when it comes down to actual physical therapy and targeted exercises, I actually had a better experience at the Hot Springs, Arkansas. Don't get me wrong—the facilities in Newport are flashier and everything feels much more modern, but their focus seems geared toward cardiovascular recovery. If you need serious spinal rehab, the folks over in Hot Springs and Palm Springs are much more dedicated to that specific grind. Personally, I don't think I've ever felt better than I did in Hot Springs; the crew there is fantastic, and they basically throw a party at Minerva, which is part of the Spa complex, almost every single week. Newport is fine if you're visiting during the summer months and want to hit the beach, but otherwise, it's not really my scene. The crowd is definitely older, so there isn't much of a vibe if you're looking for people in your own age bracket.
