[quickcobra2003]

I am 50 and had light p on my hands when I was young. It became moderate to severe when I was in my early twenties. PA entered my life in 2002.

[cajungirl]

I'm 30...have had P and PA for less than a year.

[Ernie1981]

[spanksgal]

Just turned 42 and have had P for oh about 10 years (I think). Diagnosted with PA less than 1yr. Getting old is something I look forward to . It's the P & PA I could live without...

Heidi

[xicoc]

[tiggity]

I am 34 and have had it since age 14. Now my son, age seven has it. I am praying for a cure so he doesn't have to go through what I have had to.

Tig

[Photochick66]

Whoo the great 13 :rolleyes: i have had it since i was 9 (third grade)

x0x
*nemo*

[LoriASoCal]

I have had it since age 9 also. Does it seem like an unusual amount of 9 year olds? Or am I just noticing that because that was my age?

[tiggity]

My son is seven and has shown signs of P. He has had a couple of plaques and I have put Protopic on them and they go away for a time. Nine and seven are too young to get this disease! I hate it...I just really do! It's not fair to kids these days especially.

Keep fighting it! Take care!!

Tig

[cae]

Fred


But you don't look 59! ;) ....lol.

I'm 47 dx on April fools day 2003 with PA. P since :confused: . I was born with it....genetics don't cha know. All my family memebers who also have p/pa were dx around the same age as I was...I'm the only female tho..odd.

Karen

[vshorter]

I'm 47 also. Started with joint/muscle pains in 2003 (age 45). Finally got a diagnosis of PA in July 2004 after being taken off all meds including prednisone quickly which - you guessed it - caused a huge psoriasis outbreak. Derm did skin biospy, had never had P before, but that led to PA diagnosis.

Doctor can point to PA symtoms back to at least 2000 in my medical records with carpal tunnel type complaints, foot problems, etc. :(

Vicki

[mickels413]

25, had it for 9 years (since i was 16)

[PSUNNY]

I'm 52 and have had it for about a year and a half, but was only formally diagnosed December 26, 2005. (Thanks, Santa, very funny.)
I believe it was triggered by Lipitor, which I took for 3 months.

[LottieBay]

I'm 59 and was probably born with it as well. I remember having it in kindergarten, but Mom tells me I had "Ringworm" all the time from the time I was a baby. PA showed up in my early twentys. My Dad had Plaque and PPP when I was growing up and my Mom developed Plaque P in her Golden years. My Son is 34 and has severe plaque P. It showed up when he was twenty. He was dx'd with PA when he was 25. My daughter is 41 and has inverse P that showed up when she was twenty.

[kimberlyjoy]

i am 15, will be 16 in a few months... i noticed it when i was 9, was diagnosed shortly after my 10th birthday.

[RacerX]

I sure hope for a cure soon though. ;)

[m83]

I'm 43, and was diagnosed in December of last year. never really had any symptoms before the first outbreak of inverse p in a really embarrassing place :-|

[JoleneYG]

I wouldn't be who I am today, if I didn't have Psoriasis.

Jolene

[Noxide]

What fun we have had over the years, me and my worst friend "P"! All of the bullsh%# he put me and my family and friends through. What a guy. What a guy.

[Rebel]

I'm 18 and i've had P for exactly 1 year and i hate it!

[lindsay1982]

23, had scalp "p" since 2001, but thought it was something else. i hate it.

[JoleneYG]

I don't understand how you guys could hate what you are? I truely am a better person, I have more respect for myself and others. Sure its a ugly disorder, but its only as ugly as you make it.

Jolene

[nali22btm]

I'm 31. I've had P since I was 23 but it was only diagnosed two years ago, when I was 29. So far it has been an interesting ride :)

[Jillian1507]

[jm]

I'm 22, I have shown symptoms of psoriasis since I was twelvish (don't really remember). It was clear for a about two years (I think accutane did it). It's brutal now, but controlled by light (phototherapy).

[ladybloede]

[crazyme]

I'm 38 and have had psoriasis since my teens.

[splotchy]

I wouldn't be who I am today, if I didn't have Psoriasis.

Jolene

Yep, you said it. Me too. It's been with me since I was 21. I'm 39 now. I like who I am, and p is not the center of my life.

[GitOverIt]

I had a large itchy patch on the back of my leg right below the knee joint....when I was 12...it stayed for a long time and when it finally left I had a large brown spot...now I know it was P...at the time I thought it was poison ivy (that lasted a year?) :p Then nothing til..........later years.

I'm 74 developed scalp P in my late sixties....it eventually went into p all over my body (except from the knees down) and not too much on my arms.

Thanks to allergy testing and Dr. Pagano's diet regimen. I've been in remission since 11/04. Had one outbreak from glyconutrients (allergy to them) but I'm clear again.After I went off of them.

DH also has P...both his parents had it....he has a mild case...(but he also broke out with P from head to toe from the glyconutrients) he is clear now too.
three grown children with 'NO SIGNS" of P!

[rfmdallas]

I'm 34 and I was diagnosed when I was 22.

[mamato2girls]

[JOHNY5]

Hi. I am 44 years old. I had my first sympton on my scalp 5 months ago in November. By December I had alot of flaking and dryness in my arms and hands. This is when I went to the DM. By January I had Ethrydermic Psoriasis from head to toe. Every day is something new to deal with, it moves from one area to another. It varies with severity of itching, swelling and stinging pain. Its bad not knowing what tommorow and the future holds....J5
