Hello 'Everyone',

I'm Andrew and have a 'Number' of Skin Issues. I have Vasculitis and I also had a Kidney Transplant, way back, in 2013. As a result or, all of this, I am heavily Immuno- Suppressed which means I get.... Warts, Lumps, Growths (only one was cancerous, and was fully removed), Psoriasis (of sorts) along with Soreness around my, how can I put this, 'More Personal' areas. The Likes of 'Skin Tags' are abundant so, if anybody wants any....!

I am very lucky to have, Absolutely Wonderful, Doctors looking after me- along with a very caring Mother. I live in a 'Supported Living' flat, so I have Staff available 24/7, should I need anything. I am fairly Self Sufficient, within my flat, I say 'Fairly'... I always need Help to Tidy it! I do my own Washing, Ironing (a MAN, who Irons!), Cooking and Personal Care. I do however, need Support, when out- although I don't know, about THAT, currently- though I Do have a Hospital Appointment, this Afternoon. Apparently Still all open, as Usual.

Anyway.... That's Me....

Hi. I have Urticarial Vasculitis and Jessners Lymphocytic infiltration plus photosensitivity along with all sorts of what I like to term as skin oddities. I have also got Sjogren's Syndrome which is actually more than just a dry mouth and eyes multiple lung problems, Arrythmias and what seems to be a problem with the kidneys.

Cricky that lot makes me look like I'm on my way out but I can assure you I'm not.

Good to hear from you.
