My mother has psoriasis (mostly only elbows and some on her lower arms) - she has had great success with Dead Sea Salts. A former colleague suffered from psoriasis terribly, after speaking to my mother he also tried dead sea salts and it gave him a great deal of relief.

On one of the platforms I worked on, they had a high nickel content in the water, and that knocked sh*t out of my skin particularly around my neck and "other" soft tissue areas. Tried all sorts, but found the best was (Doublebase[^]. We also use it on the youngest who gets bad exczema on her inner elbow.
A few other guys use it offshore now as they are bother by dry skin due to chlorine levels and also laundry detergents.
If you haven't tried it yet, I would recommend it.

I sympathize I've been having problems for the last 8 months with some kind of skin problem and it's a PITA. Funny when I was out working in the sun all day I didn't have any problems.

You have my sympathies regarding your dermatological malaise, but seriously, yuck! Computer nerds discussing their skin problems and having sex... 
On the bright side you have assisted me on keeping to my diet for the morning. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I have been wearing lighter, looser clothing.
There has also been many visits to the tanning shop.
It occurred to me that were it not for the psoriasis, these would be the actions of someone looking to find some gay lovin'!
None of that appears gay to me.
What sets off my radar is posting a skin care thread.

Hey buddy, the line starts back there.

I suffer from this, too. Not that frequently, but lately it has been bad. Have you tried upping your vitamin d, taking fish or flax oil, and consuming or applying aloe?

It's eczema for me, and I find that Vaseline petroleum jelly cream deep moisture creamy formula works well.
On a side node, why are skin conditions spelled so bizarrely ("ecz", "pso")?

Sorry to hear about your psoriasis flaring up, again.
You mentioned you were going to the "tanning shop;" I hope, for your sake, this refers to a medically supervised facility where your amount of exposure to UVA, and/or UVB, are being precisely controlled, following your doctor's orders.

There are several other meds. Not sure a normal tanning booth (mostly UVA) will do anything. UVB is best for Psoriasis.
At least it's only on your skin. My (very mild) psoriasis started attacking my joints. Gotta inject myself every two weeks with Humira now. Joy.

"Meals on wheels for Easter perhaps."(7,5)
Have you noticed the (somewhat) palindromic nature of today's date?
(Unless you are an American of course).

If you visit the doctor, he'll give you a cream for that.

They eventually get sucked away until there is nothing left.
What a way to go though.

I cannot think of anything but bunnies and chocolates (actually chocolate bunnies) when I hear the word Easter.

That's because Aostara was a Pagan Goddess of the Spring who was represented by the Hare.

Is this &lit somehow? *trying both ways*

|
|

Movable Feast?
Looks a bit &lit to me

Correct.
And yes, I hadn't realised that I had an &lit there.
Well spotted.
Normally I set out trying to write one, (they are usually quite hard to compile), so to do it inadvertently is rather satisfying!

Aren't you nine months late? "21/11/2012" isn't palindromic; "21/02/2012" is.
I suppose you could be using a two-digit year (21/11/12), in which case you're either a really old COBOL programmer, or too young to have been working during the Millenium Bug panic.
