When I first discovered some plaques on my face… near the sides of the bridge of my nose… I didn’t trip.  But after trying several so-called “remedies”, I had to do more research, and then found Psoria-Flora… a homeopathic cream which helped significantly… for a while, but the psoriasis was pretty tenacious.  I then read that once you have it, it can always come back… and usually does… and more often as we age.  Not a very promising prognosis.

But not only is PSORIASIS tenacious,  I AM TENACIOUS!  So I learned about the 5 elements of happy, healthy longevity; and I learned about superfoods, and fermented foods; and now I have my psoriasis UNDER CONTROL, with NO medication.

I met a very passionate man, who told me he had produced a film about Psoriasis.  “I’m Just Like You“.  He probably didn’t know why, but I zeroed in on his film.  I just HAD to see it.  First I watched the 6 minute trailer… with my fiance Edgar.  I felt so warm and embraced that this NICELY done clip, revealing some of the vulnerability, hassle and fear I’d experienced with psoriasis… was something I shared with my partner… and then I got to feel that he knows and loves and supports me on a still deeper level.

I also felt deep curiousity about the people in the trailer… it didn’t go deep enough for me, and I was intrigued to know if I’d get in the characters’ heads and their emotions, and their challenges and family relations if I watched the full length movie.  I sensed that I would feel comraderie and relief by watching the movie.  And I wondered if some of them might get benefit from what I’d been doing for MY Psoriasis.  So I got the movie from Fred — I was happy and proud to donate financially to get it, because I realized the $ goes to the cause of helping others with Psoriasis.

The movie was longer than I’d expected, which was cool, cuz I thought it might not go as deeply as I wanted into the characters and their family experiences.  It was a full length, feature film!  And I had 2 friends over to watch it with me.  They found the movie gripping on a dramatic, heart-level (and they were MEN!).  And I look forward to reaching out to the REAL FAMILIES featured in the film.  I hope to really get to know them, and together with them, help lots of other people with Psoriasis.
