I am a single father with custody of a thirteen year old daughter. Although my Ex seemed to accept my condition I believe my psoriasis was a major contribution to the demise of our twenty year marriage. In many ways I guess I can understand. That doesn't mean it isn't painful. I have had PSA since childhood. The arthritis has been in remission for forty years but the psoriasis comes and goes. When it comes it is very angry for very long. It would be considered moderate to severe. I currently take Humira injections with topical drugs. I have pretty much done it all. I pray daily for a cure and ask God to help keep my daughter from ever getting this dreadful condition.
