Sorry you are having such a terrible time. Keep your spirits up! At least you can vent your feelings on here amongst others who understand. Hope you feel better soon!

@Yastoofloo1779‍ ... Sorry to hear you definitely aren't well. Hoping the antibiotics will work this time round and that you feel better soon.

We all need to vent every now and then, so feel free to do so whenever required.

We're all here to listen and give advice if and when we can!

Take care.

I think I'd get rid of my ugly plaques. They're painful and they often cause people to stare which is hard to deal with. But that's the main symptom of psoriasis, isn't it? Well I'd like to get rid of the whole thing! emoticon laugh

My fibromyalgia as the pains excruciating at times and just getting worse as the months go on. I want to be able to do more things whether out and about or in the house.

I think the best thing to get rid of is the cough I really do not know what a good nights sleep is

Definitely the joint and bone pain! Why? because it's debilitating, it interrupts my sleep and the constant worry is, is it just side effects or something worse?
