Funny, I saw your 'rash' and immediately thought... that looks familiar. I've had psoriasis since I was a baby. It's a hereditary condition. Stress can cause it and diet is also a factor. I've been avoiding wheat for the past year or so and it's made a big difference for me (this was after a naturopath advised I have a wheat sensitivity which was contributing to my condition). other foods can cause issues as well. I'm sensitive to a long list of things. something you might want to look into.Margueritenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-77375938109911516642014-05-23T15:24:48.184-04:002014-05-23T15:24:48.184-04:00So unfair.....I hope that last day comes faster th...So unfair.....I hope that last day comes faster than 37 days for you!<br />Don't worry about how you leave your classroom for the next teacher, you don't need that pressure.<br />Dr. Sluggy prescribes more naps, hot baths and wine...not necessarily at the same time. ;-)sluggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-90377658301386198222014-05-23T13:12:22.581-04:002014-05-23T13:12:22.581-04:00Oh no!

I took the meds from the doctor (skipped the burning cream and the T3s), and also went to a natural doctor who prescribed a mushroom remedy to boost my immune system, and a cold sore ointment to prevent scarring. I think it was called Super-Lysine, and I found it at the health food store.<br /><br />I'm sorry you are stressed. I am a naturally stressed person as well. I hope you feel better soon.<br /><br />http://debtfreekid.blogspot.ca/Kristinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-30430392866108070542014-05-23T13:06:19.524-04:002014-05-23T13:06:19.524-04:00Yes, the closer I get the more stress there seems ...Yes, the closer I get the more stress there seems to be.

I'm going to reread several times and see what I can implement - I've had good success with acupuncture for pain management but not sure whether it was japanese or chinese. I have put everyone else first for most of my life - it's so hard to change old habits. I'm going to try the olive oil right now for starters!!Jane Harrisonhttp://www.lifebeginsatretirement.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-24266011472432989992014-05-23T11:59:42.182-04:002014-05-23T11:59:42.182-04:00Stress is a HUGE catalyst to many many things.

Psoriasis in the form you, can lead to something worse down the road. My mother deal with psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis - directly caused from not managing stress and the body internalizing the psoriasis. The fact that you are showing the skin presentation shows that your stress levels are beyond what you body is willing to handle now. 37 days to retirement. You must. and I repeat, MUST take every moment you can to find ways to let the stress out of your life. BODYTALk is a good option. Massage therapy, acupuncture (japanese style, not chinese style and YES there is a difference), and yoga are great ways to help you with this. Perhaps a psychologist can help as well. or even reiki. MEDITATE. <br /><br />It's time to take care of Jane. For sure it is the hardest thing to do. The world will not end if you start taking time for yourself and you do not need to [fill in the thousand worries about what everyone else with think say and do if you take this time]. You cannot effectively help others if you cannot help yourself. Sending you positive, relaxing vibes, and quiet calming mind practices. Take care of yourself and *hugs*. Psoriasis does go away topically my dear. I've watched it happen with my mom, when we finally found ways for her to let the stress go and medications that worked for her. Also - olive oil is a great thing to help clear up the skin presentation.Pam MacCollumhttp://www.thequesttobe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-410005703759508792014-05-23T11:23:27.338-04:002014-05-23T11:23:27.338-04:00I think that society needs a HUGE shake up.Jobs ar...I think that society needs a HUGE shake up.Jobs are causing so much stress and illness,usually for the sake of corporate greed.<br />Stress is a silent killer that people don't take seriously.<br />Jane xJanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-63310363257788972732014-05-23T10:43:43.550-04:002014-05-23T10:43:43.550-04:00Get yourself a BodyTalk session.

I have to be careful of this as well.

Even though you are retiring from your job the last 60 days of any job can be very stressful. Take care of yourself, maybe take lots of baths with candles and wine, read lots, perhaps take up something fun. Bellydancing? Just something to get your mind off whatever is brewing :)livingrichonthecheapnoreply@blogger.com
