Hey Christina, my sister used to have psoriasis and everything irritated it. Not sure if that's at all similar to psoriatic arthritis. Is it irritated, or just rough? (like is it a problem of texture or is it also irritated/inflamed?) My first instinct is to say something soothing like aloe but I'm not sure if you have anything like that, or if you can use it safely. In regards to your meds - I always have a problem with new meds, and two new ones in a week would be super overwhelming for me. Hopefully it's not the same for you.

Child, hope you manage some kind of relief from the stircraziness. That feeling and I are old friends, more and more these days.

Wild, I don't blame you for not using the mask. They said I would get used to it and it's just not true. The two sizes of nose piece I can wear, are either constricting, or large enough that the mask is constantly shifting and blowing air in my eyes and all over my face while I sleep. I'm constantly waking up to adjust it. Also the air hose connected to the machine constantly gets wrapped around my neck while I'm sleeping. Nothing dangerous but it's annoying. I have to wake up and untangle myself, get comfortable again. Or the velcro, which is the only kind of closure on the model of harness for my mask that they make, comes undone and I wake up with it on my forehead and it's just like . So I have no illusions that the CPAP is probably interfering with my sleeping
