TV Show - Optomen

Okay so, I have also received another e-mail from a woman at Optomen which is a TV production company. She would like me to write something about their up and coming show that is focused around psoriasis. They have mentioned that filming is to take place soon so anyone that would with to be a part of the show needs to contact them right away. 


A little bit about Optomen:

It is an “award-winning TV production company” who has made “high-profile programmes for both UK and US channels”. They have produced TV shows such as: Gordon Ramsay's Behind Bars (C4), Great British Menu (BBC) and Mary: Queen of Shops (BBC).

What Optomen had to say:

“Optomen TV are currently making a brand new health show for the Discovery Channel and we are keen to raise awareness of Psoriasis, in order for viewers to gain a clearer understanding of what it’s like to live with this condition. Our show will explore the symptoms associated with Psoriasis and how best to treat/manage it. 

We are reaching out to people with Psoriasis who would be comfortable taking about their condition on television. If anyone is interested, they should email us at healthshow@optomen.com with their name, location, contact email address and a brief description about themselves. As we are scheduled to film soon, we advise anyone interested to get in touch asap”

From me:

I am not entirely sure about specifics with this show but they summed it up pretty efficiently; it is a show that will be trying to raise awareness and understanding of psoriasis through people with the condition participating in the show and representing the psoriasis community.

I am a huge advocate for anything that is psoriasis related and hope that there are plenty of people out there who are willing to be a face for us all. It takes a lot of courage to talk about psoriasis and the way that it affects your life, so a big thank you to anyone who is strong enough to do so.

Contacting Optomen:

Email them at healthshow@optomen.com or www.optomen.com/casting  (I am not sure which so probably best to send an e-mail to the address and have a look on the website for other contact details if you don't hear anything in reply) with:
1.     Name
2.     Location
3.     Contact email address
4.     Brief description of yourself (I’m guessing age/type of psoriasis/profession/family details)

Bio-Oil

Image
So, I know that Bio-oil is most commonly used as a product to help with stretch marks and uneven skin tone, but I thought that if it would/could help with that, then maybe it will help with the roughness of my skin that is caused by psoriasis. I also have un-even skin tone where the areas of psoriasis are redder than my very pale skin. When an area of psoriasis starts to get better, I also end up with a silver tinted skin patch which looks the same as a scar; therefore, I decided to see what bio-oil does to my skin condition and whether or not it helped. Info: You can buy Bio-Oil in most places. I found this specific one from Costco but I am sure that they are everywhere (Boots/Tesco/Superdrug) or somewhere online. A description of their product that they have online: “ Bio‑Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It is also effective for ageing and dehydrated skin. Bio‑Oil has won 167 skinc...

Epaderm Ointment; Product Review

Image
Hey Psquad, It's cold in England at the moment ( shock 😂), even my family members with "normal" skin are finding that theirs is dry. I've stuck to the same products recently, and am in need of a switch up... The beautiful people at HelloSkin contacted me, and asked if I would test some psoriasis products for them. I chose the Epaderm Ointment as I have previously used the Epaderm Cream; with great results!  I personally feel that ointments are better than moisturisers when it comes to treating my psoriasis. Normally, if my skin is tolerable, I don't use them as much because of their greasy-ness. When my skin flares up badly, I will use an ointment...always. I was drawn to this ointment because of the different ways you can use it...which i have put below... So where is my Psoriasis bad right now?! Well I used this awesome form  that I found on twitter, from Psoriasis Awareness, to show you guys where I am suffering at the moment and where I will ...

Who is your Hero?! 2014 Health Hero Awards

Image
I received an email asking me to spread the word about a very beautiful concept.  It is called: 2014 Health Hero Awards. This award aims to highlight those special people who put themselves second and someone else first. As the email stated “the heroes of healthcare ”. I think that it is only  available  to residents in the UK.  There are so many people out there who go above and beyond to ensure that someone knows they are loved at a time that they need it most. This award goes to show that special someone that their selfless act meant more to you than they probably know. My Hero: I fell ill and was hospitalized when I was about 14. I remember my Mother would not leave my side – even when I had to go into the operating room she refused to leave until I was unconscious and even then I was told she kept talking to me. My entire family supported me through the situation but her especially. She cried with me and at times for me. She stayed awak...
