Celexa

Well my hands are about the same, they aren't too bad, I do have some tender spots however and they are dry and peeling like crazy. Last Friday I went to the new PCP I have and she put me on Celexa because I haven't been sleeping and have been having panic attacks and mild depression. Well I didn't know at this point that Celexa has been known to cause psoriasis and to cause flare ups. *BIG SIGH* But since starting the Celexa I have been sleeping and I hadn't gotten more than an hour of sleep at a time for the two weeks prior so I am so thankful that the Celexa seems to have helped this problem. Its nice being able to sleep. When you get sleep its like seeing the world in color instead of black and white. Ill have to keep an eye on my PPPP very closely though. If I flare up Ill know it must be the Celexa doing it or at least it may be involved. If that happens then Ill have to go back to my PCP and ask her to change my antidepressant to something else and pray that doesn't also cause a flare. I have a spot on the bottom of my foot that has been extremely sore and if that doesn't get better Ill show her the spot. I am thinking of bringing up that my feet have been very very painful and ask if she can either check for arthritis or refer me to a rheumy. I hope I don't have PA.

Alright, I have things to do, hope you all have a wonderful P free day!

Gah Im in a flare!

Before I start, I didn't notice until today there was no "Subscribe to" button on my blog. You should be able to subscribe now and Ill subscribe back on you're as well.

Ok, so I don't think it was the chlorine in the pool. I'm thinking it is the fact that the doctor who prescribed me the Keflex was on vacation and I couldn't get a prescription refill until Friday. I have been off Keflex for two weeks. I'm on them again now though. I need to call my derm because I'm not sure that the topicals are doing any good at all. Maybe she will have me try another one, I don't know, I don't have much faith in her to begin with.

Ok so I took pictures the other day of the newest flare up. I think its going to be more mild this time, but here are the first ones.

And since I seem to have left my camera at my aunts house, those are the only ones I'm posting today lol I am using my topicals I did last night and the night before, I don't think I will have to use them tonight, but Ill decide closer to bedtime. My feet might get the topicals and not my hands because my feet are really bothering me. My right foot in particular is hurting pretty bad today.

So that's the update for now, I will try to get my camera and post more pictures tomorrow for you.

Hey can everyone tell me what you think has been the most beneficial thing you have done for yourself concerning your P.

Have a great day!
