Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 I called my PCP after I made an attempt to call the dermatologist. He was very understanding and is calling me in Medrol or Medral, I'm not sure. HE said it would help. I told him I was ready to go to the hospital if I could not get relief at home. He said he understood only too well. He also has psoriasis. So maybe I will be able to get some rest and stop tingling all over and feeling like pins and needles are sticking. My skin actually feels like it is on fire no matter what I do. The itching and burning sensation is the worst. Thank you for writing and for letting me know how you get some relief. I think I will try the Vaseline.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Posted April 2, 2006 I've had Psoriasis way before my joints were involved. You take a bath in aveeno and after use vaseline. If you can take aspirin take them they work well. Good luck. judith_annky <judyinkyjc@...> wrote: I have had itching and burning so bad in the last 2 days I am about crazy. I haven't changed anything I can think of. The p. lesions are huge on my stomach area, burning and feelsfeeling feverish. Is this normal? When do you call a doctor on the weekend. And is there anything else I can use? I have aterax and bendryl which I have taken all weekend and have slept a lot. But here I am again Sunday morning and I can hardly stand it. Esp the burning sensation. My skin is red an inflamed badly. If anyone has any ideas please help. I am using an anti itch cream which relieves temporary. Thank you, Judy n KY Quote
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I hope you are feeling better, Judy. Another thing you can try is Moisturinse by Olay... this is lotion that you put on while in the shower.... and when you get out it feels soooo good. I have P in my ear canals... and I use it there and everywhere! It has really made a difference on the elbow lesions as well.... because I am reluctant to put neosporin there and ruin clothes, etc. I started using Moisturinse by Olay about a month ago... and it has changed my life. People think I am crazy when I say that, but they don't understand!!! Jody So CA --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big. Quote
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Jody, I agree with you about the Moisturinse. I just bought some and although I don't have lesions from the psoriasis any more (the methotrexate I take keeps them away) it makes my skin feel great. Janet Quote
