Nerves of steel...NOT

(I know this is a WLS forum, not a take care of Susan forum, but I'm looking for advice anywhere I can get it!) 14 days to go before my BPD/DS and so wigged out I have a psoriasis break out like never before, my arms and legs are covered! It gets so much worse after a shower that I'm afraid to bathe! I have a Dr's appt tomorrow, but someone at work suggested an oatmeal bath, anyone tried it or know how? If anyone else is blessed this wonderful stress related dermatalogical gift...PLEASE, any tips for some relief would be much appreciated. I can't imagine being itchy head to toe while early post-op! ~Susan

Hi Susan, I have psoriasis also. I cannot help with a remady sorry, except maybe hydracortisone {not spelled right i'm sure} That's the only thing I use, unless it's something prescribed by my PCP. I know it's been said. but, Try to relax a little hun. We will all be praying for you and sending you positive thoughts and wishes. Lots of hugs Penny LAP RNY Dec. 12th 2003! Yeah!
