Psoriasis Death
Is Plaque Psoriasis Deadly In Any Way? Please Explain Why Or Why Not!?
I have a case of Plaque Psoriasis on the joints of my knee on the back side (not the side that bends out, but the side that bends in.) I'm only 13 and am afraid of death (who isn't?) and was wondering if it is anyway deadly at all. If possible, leave a link if possible, but for god sake, please don't link to any news reports.
Psoriasis is common on the knee over the kneecap. It is uncommon in the bend of the knee so I question the diagnosis. Eczema is common in the bend of the knee and bend of the elbow. This may be what you have. Eczema is associated with hay fever, allergies and asthma. Neither are deadly, but both are chronic conditions. Psoriasis may be associated with arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. See if you can verify the diagnosis.
In 1981, while, doing some temporary work as a nursing assistant, I cared for a patient named Eloise.
Eloise was at the very last stages of Alzheimer's, and remarkably for me to observe, she still retained a very loving nature. It was as if once her personality was totally diminished, her soul could shine forth unhampered. Eloise was a light in this world, and any of my friends who met her felt her kindness immediately. Sometimes if I placed my hand near hers, she would reach out to touch it and would almost try to massage it. Eloise lived with her husband Peter who was profoundly deaf and refused to wear his hearing aids.
One day as I was feeding Eloise lunch, Peter informed me that he was leaving to do some banking. As he turned around to leave and was walking towards the door, Eloise's body seemed to seize up and then release totally as if she had a fit. I of course thought stroke. As her eyes started to roll up in her head, I thought she was preparing to die at any moment. I frantically called out to the back of her husband to call an ambulance, but of course Peter did not hear me and continued his way out the door. At that point, Eloise was listing to one side and I couldn't let go of her because she would fall to the floor.
It scared the hell out of me that I was to be alone with this woman through her death experience and I wasn't even her relative. I frantically attempted to think how I was going to prop her up at the table and then somehow be able to get Peter before he left the house, but it became evident to me that I didn't want to leave her side for a second and break physical contact with her. I just knew that I didn't want to do that.
Finally calming myself down, I asked myself what needed to happen, remembering that this was about a dying woman whom I needed to consider past my hysteria. Finally recalling all that I had been taught by my guru Ma Jaya about the dying, I knew the most important thing was they should be totally comforted and surrounded with love. Getting down on my knees next to Eloise, I wrapped my arms around her, telling her I loved her and was there for her. And as the panic left my body and mind, instinctively as a massage therapist, I began to rub her chest in a circular motion attempting to bring some warmth into her body. Surprising to me, Eloise's eyes popped up immediately and life began to circulate in her body again. I was amazed at the quick response and in retrospect it was similar to watching a computer reboot.
When I saw that she could sit up by herself, I quickly telephoned an ambulance. As the ambulance was leaving with Eloise, Peter walked in from his errand, saying, "What happened here?" As I told him, his eyes widened and he laughed. To this day I think he was relieved that he missed the drama.
