Today I decide to stop with the meds. I am really buying into this holistic health kick that I think I can do without it. From now on it will be lotion.
My diet looks the same as the day before. I still get my coffee fix, and I need to finish up that pot of curry veggies that have the white potatos.
But I still get my water down. I do not have any fresh raw veggies, but I do order a cooked veggie platter at work.
As an extra personal victory I attended a "Jewelry Party" in my neighborhood. You know the type where a lady has her friends over, serves some wine and cheese and we get sold to by some gaudy sales lady.
I showed up late because I was returning from basketball practice with my son. By the time I got there the party was in fool swing with everyone at least 2-3 glasses of wine in. Great - I am not drinking. I had to explain to the hostess that I was on a special diet to take care of psoriasis on my feet. She insisted I take my shoes off to show her how bad it was in the middle of the party. Then she looked at it and said, "oh that's not that bad, I have that all over my arms and hands. It will go away this summer."
Then she showed me her arms and skin and honestly it looked a lot worse than mine.
Remember Rule #4? Don't let things get so bad that they are hard to fix. listen to your body.
I left after only an hour. I had some sparkling water - bad I found out later that is very acidic. I had none of her cheese, chocolates, knishes, strawberries, etc. I had to turn and burn when I saw a bottle of 2005 Silver Oak Cab getting ready to be corked. I am only flesh and blood, I don't know if I could have resisted that!
