Hey everyone!
I see I've got some fellow "travel companions" here, so I figured I’d introduce myself briefly and share a bit about my ongoing relationship with my little sister, psoriasis.
She first paid me a visit back in early 2002, and since I'm such a delightful person, she decided to move in for good. We've been hanging out for six years now; sometimes things get intense, and other times we just give each other a nod. 😉
From 2002 until now, I’ve seen plenty of dermatologists traveling between the Midwest, Chicago, and California, and it always feels like more of the same. I've cycled through everything from topical solutions to thicker ointments—using things like Rozamet, Daivonex, and countless creams, ranging from cheap drugstore finds to high-end stuff from big pharmaceutical brands.
Last year, I finished my studies in Washington, D.C., and headed to Italy for some training—specifically Rome. While I was there, things took a turn for the worse. My elbows and knees were completely at the mercy of my "companion," and she generously claimed several smaller patches on my body too. I wasn't sure which way to turn, so I eventually ended up seeing a dermatologist in Rome. I paid a cool $130 just for the exam, and then dropped another $270 on the six different medications he prescribed for the course of treatment. Absolute madness... 👎
After all that, I noticed I actually felt much better, but it wasn't because of everything I was taking. It was just one specific cream—let's call it >. I applied it regularly to the affected areas, and after a while, it all cleared up. I even started wearing short sleeves again. It's funny how much you learn to appreciate the small wins. 🙄
Lately, life has been pretty stressful—I've basically been through a mini war—so my "sister" decided to come back for a visit. Because of that, I've started slowly using my trusty > again.
Sorry for dumping this on you all; I didn't have the energy to catch up on everything I missed while I was offline, so consider this my apology if I end up mentioning a cream you guys already know by heart. I first discovered it in Rome, and it honestly changed my life.
For context, it costs about $27 for a 30g tube and you can find it in almost any pharmacy in Rome. I'm not sure what the availability is like back home in the States, but once I get back and run through my supplies, I'll start looking into what local options we have.
Thanks a lot, and talk soon!
