My dosing schedule is now Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. It got switched around a bit because of having to skip doses several months ago. Anyway, so I will take my seventh 50 mL dose tomorrow morning.
It is basically the same as the last time I posted. Sometimes I wonder if this is as good as it's going to get. I'm happy with the progress, but my psoriasis is VERY stubborn, apparently. I still have a good 50% coverage. Still have it on my scalp, my ears, my arms, my legs, and I don't wear short sleeves or shorts. I live in Georgia. July in Georgia is not a Good Thing.
I am happy that the long-sleeved "peasant" style shirts are in style this summer. I stocked up on those. So, I don't look SO out of place. I see other "normal" people wearing them. They are gauzy and thin, yet still give me the coverage I want. So, I can continue to hide. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything, I just don't want to have to explain what it is 7,000 times per day. I work in a children's medical office, and I just cannot imagine the kids seeing my p. It would be non-stop finger-pointing and questions. And, ignorant parents that might not even let me touch their chidren is a possibility, too. At least now they just think I wear long sleeves because it's so cold in our office. Heh. It's so cold in our office BECAUSE I have to wear long sleeves! I control the thermastat in my office, so that's good. But still. Ugh.
So, anyway, I look forward to fall and winter. I've always hated summer anyway, but since I got psoriasis, it's been much, much, more an intense hatred. Stupid summer.
