Question:
~~You most embarrassing P moment? ~~
What is your most embarressing P moment?
Since mine is easily concealed I really don't have one, but I am sure lots of you do, and I thought you might like to share your stories!
A nail tech at the place I've been going for 5 years telling me she will need to wear gloves in order to work on my hands. I don't blame her, but.......gawd I wanted to crawl in a hole.
New Human Resource Director of our recently acquired company by a big investor gawking at my crusty and swollen ankles. I was wearing hose and a dress - normally wear slacks but didnt that day - I watched my job security slip away at that moment. I was downsized after 10 years shortly after that - not blaming it all on that but I'm sure that moment didn't do much to help the decision making process.
ok thats 2....I better stop while i still have some self esteem! :D
when i was a kid i had some thing like p on my butt. when will went to friends house my mom would have me show it to the people in the room.
see she did it to me
have a good week end all

Wow, I have so many let me see here........When I was maybe 11 or 12, I was at a hair salon with my mother, and I had on shorts(one of the last times I wore shorts in public)and the hairdresser says to me, WOW the mosquitos really got you. Now that really doesnt sound too bad, but I was 11 and it really hurt me. I went to the bathroom at the salon and I cried for like 10 minutes.....not cool :cool:
Thanks for posting, yall ! Richard that is awful!!!
My sister-in-law came up with mosquito bite as well and I don't think I ever wore shorts again!
Did anyone ever wish P was contagious, and you could give it to these rude people? After being here for 2 years, and hearing how some idiots act , I have wished it!
when i worked for a cell phone company. I had really bad p on my back and tummy. so underneath my shirt and pants, id wear a leotard, so i couldnt flake over the waist of my pants. well one day i didnt wear it, and i bent over to pick up some phones, and myshirt rose a little and oyu can see my back, all covered with P. And 2 of my co-workers whispered somethign to each other about "aligator skin" my back was to them, so i dont think they knew i heard. but i did. i wasooo embarass. i was glad it was the end of the day and i went home right after that >=[
I was working part time at a gas station as a cashier on second shift. This lady who worked 3rd shift was alway VERY rude, crude and generally socially unacceptable towards me. I later caught her in the lunch room cracking jokes about the "scab lady" to my co-workers & them laughing. They didn't see me (there was a small window in the door). I quit that day.
After I quit, I told her exactly what my skin condition is and she had the gall to call me scab lady to my face. Big mistake, I told her off right there in the middle of the gas station in front of everyone. In the end, she was the one who was embarassed. She's lucky I was in a good mood, if I wasn't she would have been taken to the hospital & I would have been in jail :)

Good for you Sue!!!
You are every woman!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh! All these stories are just so sad. :( I'm so sorry that you all have had to go through all of that, but you know that in the end, it ultimately makes you better, stronger people. I know everyone says that but really, it does whether you realize it or not. I don't really have any embarassing P stories. I guess the times I'm MOST embarassed, I make it all up in my head. If I wear short sleeves I think people are staring at my arms and elbows, even though they may not be. No one has said anything to me about it before, though my roommate's stepmom did ask me once what had bitten me all over my feet, and when I told her it was P she was like ok! So, I guess that's not too embarassing, but I have never been covered like I am now, so maybe embarassment is to come.... :(
Thanks guys, hey, I didn't even tell you the one when this woman attacked me because of my skin. She was yelling, swearing, spitting at me, pushing and slapping me. She attacked me in front of 2 Chicago cops who fell down laughing when I beat the crap out of her. Let's just say she is the one who went first to the hospital and second to jail. :D Can you say PSYCHO, I thought you could. Too bad for her, I'm a lot meaner than crazy.......well, on most days :D :D Sue
Renae you know, that is what scares me is the possibility of mine getting worse at some point...I had only about 20% coverage at my worst, and I lived in hell for 2 years with THAT! But you know I held up so well with it, there was only one time in 2 years it drove me to tears...If I told you how much hell I had lived through in the last 5 years you would say its a wonder you are not crazy...
But, the stories and the courage I read here day after day humbles me to the point I feel like I have no problems at all ....I cannot imagine not being able to walk because of P or use my hands because of p or pa.....I would do anything I could for anyone here....Thats why I posts jokes and such to lighten someones spirit, even if just for a few minutes...I hope I am able to do that...I am no expert on any medications, so I cannot help with that...
I hope you find some treatment to help Renae, you are such a lovely person with such a beautiful spirit, my heart goes out to you for being able to be so brave while your husband is away!
I think we can use this thread to vent as well...
I love you ALL!
OMG Sue , that is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: I am glad you beat the crap out of her!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I CAN SAY $%#&*^%$#@#%$*&^%$ PSYCHOOOOOO!!!!!!!
All that happened because she thought I was a leper. I was waiting in line at a fast food place to get lunch and she saw my arms and freaked out. I'm lucky there were cops there who saw the whole thing. The best thing about that (besides not going to jail) I got free lunch because the people behind the counter were laughing their butts off at the stupid woman :D
Sue
Hi all
it makes me feel bad for all what you went thought. you are all lovable people.
deb, i don't think i can deal with my pp if it comes back worse then it was. my mom even show my butt to people when we were in stores some times. my under wear would be stuck to my butt. your are a wonderful woman deb and thank you for you help.
last saturday there was this guy who had p all over his face and arms. he walk with a cane. i fealt for the guy. i want to talk to him but i couldn't bring myself up to it. i hope he goes to a derm or some doc.
sue the cop thing was good.
have a wonderful week end all and safe.

Hi,
Sue, I think you did the right thing. You can't see my p unless I show it to you. When my feet are bad I use handicap parking. When I get out of my car and start walking without a cane, crutches or oxygen, I have had people look at me like "Why are you using handicap parking? You don't look like you need it?" I do have a sign for my car. If anyone ever says anything, I might explode. I think I'll start carrying my cane so I can whack someone.
I can just see the headlines now. :p

Awwww thank you for your sweet words Deb. :D And 20% is nothing to shrug off, any P is annoying and embarassing at times! And who says I don't already think you're crazy? ;) :rolleyes:
Seriously though, I have become a lot tougher because of all the wonderful people on this forum, so it's no sweat hanging in there while the going gets tough if I have people like you all to vent to and laugh with. :)
Needless to say, it really breaks my heart hearing all these stories, I'm glad you kicked her arse Sue!!!! :p
Thanks, I don't think I could do that today. That was back when I was 21, 95% covered and no PA. These days, I'd probably sic one of my kids on someone like that. Luckily, I haven't run into anyone like that. From what I've experienced, people are a lot more educated about P these days. But I still get the, wow you really have poison ivy bad comments. Which I turn around and tell them about P. These days, the comments that drive me nuts are you're 38 and you're telling me you have arthritis? You're too young to have arthritis. People don't seem to realize that even kids get arthritis, it's not an "old age" disease so now that's my big thing, educating people about P and PA.
Sue
Oh Rich , I think you are the BEST!!! You all are!
XOXOXO
When I first go psoriasis, my new step-mom thought I had bee stings when I went to visit my dad. My mom returned to pick us up and I had tobacco all on my face and arms for two days. :eek: I asked my mom, "What'd she do this? I smell." Man i miss being an innocent kid. :p I also only had a couple spots too.

I am not sure what you mean?
This embarrassing moment happened to me a few weeks ago, but it turned out ok. I was with my bf and I was taking a shower, and I shaved my legs with a dull razor, and my P got all cut up, and I was bleeding pretty bad. I was trying to make the bleeding stop before he came in and saw it all, but it didnt stop. He walks in the bathroom, and he is like Ashley what is wrong, and I was sooo embarrased, I mean he knows about my P and is very understanding but I was still embarrassed, he was so good about it though, he got me band aids and he cleaned up everything :) Then he was like Ashley, everything will be ok :) aww he is so sweet :)
awwwwwwww! He is sweet! Don't be embarressed , he is a gem!
