Hi guys,
My brother also has psoriasis, its all over his body and he had to wait for the Pfizer to arrive on our shores as he also has heart issues and couldn't have Astrazeneca. He felt that the vaccine helped his psoriasis that it seemed to calm it. It may have been that because we were in lockdown he wasn't working for several months so no stress. It flared up again once he started back at work. Who knows. Placebo effect maybe.
Regards to all
I was finally able to find the J&J booster at the Lucky Supermarket Pharmacy a few miles from my house, and I got it yesterday after work. Like the first one, I had some pain in my arm for a very short time (20-30 mins), and this morning I felt a bit "off". Not really sick, mind you, just not quite myself, as one sometimes feels when coming down with something. The worst of that passed within a couple of hours, and now I just have a slight headache. I'm sorry to hear about your issues, @journeywithme2. I hope everything calms down for you quickly. *hugs* ?
Many thanks to you all. I am finally on the down side of this flare. Eyes are almost back to "normal" normal being relative. I think it was mostly a matter of timing... weather changes, stress, and the vaccine too. Perfect formula for triggering a flare. I am still very happy I got boostered before the Holidays and winter.
I'm sitting out my 15 minute wait period after getting my booster. I'm pleasantly surprised at how busy it is. There are finally children here as well. The little girl in the next chair is watching everything upside down from her inverted position hanging off of her chair. It's joyous to watch. On Friday our town lifted our mask mandate. I was amazed to go to Walmart yesterday only to find a good 50 to 70% of shoppers were still masked! You can teach those who wish to learn!
