Kubrick unfortunately passed away while working on a project that was, in my opinion, quite subpar. He really could have finished on a much higher note...
Or perhaps I’ve just been spoiled by his earlier masterpieces. My apologies if anyone took my joking personally. I promise to keep it civil from here on out.
@gentlebear8—I couldn't agree more. Personally, I find almost any film featuring DiCaprio to be lacking, especially since Scorsese pushes him so heavily as if he were the next Robert De Niro. That boyish look and the lack of genuine charisma or edge is something that truly puts me off. 😬

I just received about twenty different booklets on psoriasis from an American patient advocacy group today—completely free of charge.
They are actually quite useful resources, and there really isn't any cost involved in requesting them via their site... http://www.psoriasis.org/publication...lets/requests/
Honestly, all of this sounds wonderful in principle, but when you’re fifteen years old and you've just spent the entire day grinding through gym class, you really don't have the mental energy to sit through art class for another six or seven hours... 😬 Unless you happen to be obsessed with cinema, music, or sketching, it's just hard to care.
Most high schools usually offer some kind of electives, like art history or film studies... at least we had those options back then.
Medicine used to be a much narrower field, I suppose... as our society evolved, job specialization became inevitable because no single person can possibly master the sheer volume of information available today. Doctors have to specialize in niche areas simply because there aren't enough hours in the day, nor do we live long enough to absorb all that knowledge...
Of course, people are different, which means there will always be better and worse physicians. It's also just not common for everyone to see the same primary care doctor their entire lives, for various reasons.
From what I've seen, primary care doctors often try to handle minor issues themselves first, but as soon as they spot red flags, they refer you to a specialist, which is actually a great thing 👍 because it minimizes the risk of an incorrect diagnosis or something far worse. So many illnesses present with similar symptoms that it would be impossible to distinguish them without specific testing and specialized expertise.
I suppose the issue is that filmmakers simply can't secure massive budgets for adaptations unless they lean into something mainstream. They might have incredible ideas and vision, but as a whole, it ends up being a fiasco...
Hey. Try applying some olive oil overnight, and you should find that all those flakes loosen up quite easily... just comb them out gently after. Give it a thorough shampooing, then apply Belosalic lotion daily for about two or three weeks... that should really help clear things up.

I haven't experienced it personally, but I know a few people undergoing PUVA... from what I gather, it seems effective, though I've read online that you have to be careful because of the cancer risks involved...
brightpilot18 said:I'm 28, and I've been dealing with psoriasis since I was six years old. I've seen it all—from mild flare-ups to absolute nightmares—but things have hit an all-time low after my pregnancy and childbirth. Corticosteroids used to help, and a bit of saltwater and sunshine provided temporary relief, but right now, nothing seems to work. I suppose it might just take time for my body to stabilize post-pregnancy before the skin settles down again. I tried Zantac, but the side effects were unbearable: burning, itching, and constant discomfort. Is anyone else going through something similar? How are you managing this stage?...
I know a woman who went through the exact same thing after having her baby. She started light therapy at a clinic in Savannah and spent some time by the coast... and it made a visible difference. I think she actually did the light therapy while she was still pregnant, since using various creams isn't recommended during pregnancy.
For immediate relief, head to a pharmacy and grab some A-Derma shower oil; using it daily can help clear away the scaling. Also, make sure to take fish oil capsules and evening primrose oil daily.
And as far as topical application goes, stick to ointments like calendula or evening primrose... basically anything oil-based. Focus on moisture rather than heavy creams. It should soothe the irritation and help the situation without needing aggressive medicated creams.

I live in an apartment building where the transformer station is exactly ten steps from the main entrance! I've lived in this building for 11 years, and three years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease😕.
My balcony sits just a few feet above that transformer, and my entire apartment faces right toward it...
Should I be connecting these dots? 😱
Look, that's just the price of modern life. We eat toxins and breathe them in every day. If someone isn't feeling it, they can always move to the mountains and go play with wolves.
