Slugsie.dyns.org; news,toolfox,com are two that I use. Mr. Perry is correct in that this makes some messages inaccessible for some readers. But if the group ok’s HTML then lots of folks use it. Some groups even allow binary posts for photos, cartoons, etc. Tom

That is news to me Fran. I haven’t run into it, but then I only peruse a few of them. On those that I do read it is considered poor manners because many people cannot view them.

Check your preferences on outgoing messages. I happen to use Netscape and I have it set to ask me before sending. I am not sure how to do it in Outlook Express, but I am sure if you can’t find it someone will be happy to tell you how it is done. Was there a difference when you sent this reply? It is in plain text, as it should be. Of course, that may be only because you clicked on the reply button when you wrote it. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > You’ve got me there ….

I got attacks of guttate p. if I was sick enough to have a fever. That really sucks.

When I had my appendix out mine cleared up…. I always assumee it was the anti-biotics…
Response:
Actually, maybe not…..I went to hospital for 2 weeks a few years back with severe gasto-intestinal problems. Was on I.V. for 10 days. P cleared up. Result of no food intake and saline drip combined with cortisone? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I got attacks of guttate p. if I was sick enough to have a fever. > That really sucks. > Fran > When I had my appendix out mine cleared up….

I have no idea about that since I had mine out when I was five years old. Even though I now know that I already had psoriasis it was not properly diagnosed until I was past fifty years of age. A friend of mine that has psoriasis had a terrible outbreak right after his daughter had the Chicken Pox. His doctor said there was a very definite connection between the two.

Sincec P has something to do with th immune system….and getting sick causes the immune system to kick into high gear…one coud infer P. would get worse when sick….

Seems to work for some of us and not others… my derm suggested removal is more useful for certain types of p (pustular and guttate) than it is for others. My personal observation is that it seems to have a different effect on different areas. I had my tonsils out approximately five years ago, and after a few minor flares in the first couple of years, my hands are now completely clear and have their proper color back (I had pp on them). However, my feet showed only minor improvement. Go figure. Janet
Response:
I had my tonsils removed 23 years ago and still have bad P. In fact, I didn’t have P before I had them removed. I ,too,flare considerably when I get a cold. There is definitely a link between tonsils and P in my opinion. But, in my case, I wonder if I should have kept them?! Streppococcus bacteria may be the irritant factor…. Take Care, Dave
Response:
Short answer is sometimes. There’s a well known link between infections -particularly strep- as a trigger, particularly for guttate psoriasis and particularly for childhood onset. Tonsilitis means yours were infected, so they may very well have been harboring something that was triggering your P. OTOH studies on removing tonsils to control P have had mixed results, with one Japanese study http://pinch.com/skinny?medline=11766391 giving results that are about what my impression is from what I’ve seen – maybe a bit better than I expected. I had my tonsils out at 5 years old and didn’t start to show P symptoms until a few years after, so no link personally but there is certainly anecdotal evidence of cases like yours. Glad to hear you’ve seen so much improvement. BTW, you really should stop using steroids on your face if you can, and if you’ve been using them fairly continually -even in relatively small amounts- that’s not a great idea either, no matter where you’ve used them, because of side effect risks.

Response:
Hi all, Just wondered if anyone else has noticed a connection between P and Tonsils…? I’ve had P for last 15 years (since age 16), and bummer that it is, I’ve got used to it. I have always noticed a flare up when I get a cold, or ill, or just have to take pain killers ie. my imune system is working overtime. Last 3 or 4 years I started to get colds/sore throats every month or two, which of course, didn’t help the P. I also noticed that my tonsils were deeply pitted (yuk), and generally more un-hygenic than I would have liked.. My GP informed me that I was getting tonsilitis (sp?), and so almost a year ago, I had them taken out. Not exactly comfortable! Anyway, after a month or two, 99% of my P has gone, and has stayed gone. I still get red patches on my forehead and face, which is probably down to continued use of Steroid cream, and I can’t seem to throw that, and I still have about 2 small (1cm) bits on a leg. But otherwise – gone. I’m interested in finding out links between P and other stuff, so have any of you suffered from bad tonsils – symptoms can be regular sore throats and/or bad breath (the pits collect bits of erm.. stuff – yuk I know). Cheers all, and best of luck with fighting the curse ! Mark. PS. Now my P has (almost) gone, the Keloid scars I get just show up more – typical !
