ending kp for good

First of all, therapy is futile unless your therapist is God (if that word can still have any meaning). And secondly, kp is just one guaranteed burden that you are passing on to your child....I am sure that they will develop a million other problems (as we all do) to stack up on it. So why start them off with a guaranteed burden? I think what all of you fail to see is that i could very easily be your kid (my parents are just as life affirming as all of you). No matter how much optimism you posses, there is no guarantee that your child will share it. You all have every right to be as happy as you want....i don't care....but think about what people like you are causing people like me to go through (by dragging us into this world). I think what is most frustrating is that LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING PERIOD. Even if you are physically perfect, life is pain and suffering and unfair and in the end.... entirely pointless (this is why we invented "heaven" -- to justify our suffering). Everyone who has a kid is a selfish **** who cares more about their own happiness (and keeping their marriage exciting) than what is truly best for their child (which is to stay out of this world). That is why babies cry....they were born.

ps. Did you ever have a bad day before you were born? How about after you were born? I win.

I agree with Nicky. You need help for sure! Have you not got ANY pleasant memories? I have HORRIBLE kp and overall I am happy. I just "wish" that I did not have kp. I do not agonize over it every second though. Life is good and you make it what you make it. To say we should all get our tubes tied and quit reproducing is LUDICROUS. It wont rid the world of bad skin. There is Acne, Exzema, Rosesea, and more. Only a small population has flawless skin. Get therapy and live a little! Geez! :-0

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way because of a skin condition. In my household, we've been through worse problems than some bumps on the skin, and we're not about to let life pass us by but to live it and enjoy it. Attitude helps a lot in this. Stay positive! Sure, the bumps suck, who wants bumps? Everyone would like perfect skin. But whats the big deal? I'd rather have bumps and a bit of redness compared to cancer, diabetes, MS, and the list goes on. Doctors say these things can run in familes also you know. If you are so down about this, what about counseling? Don't let this take over your life. Theres a great group of people here. Many are sharing information on what works for them, what doesn't work. Maybe something mentioned will help your skin also.
Best wishes

Damn, i though i would find atleast one of "my people" on here. I guess i should have explained that i also live with a bone deformity (genetic) and a terminal illness (genetic as well). So, no i am not this way just becuase of some bumps...although at this point I am happier with the terminal illness than the kp....the terminall illness will rob me of an adult life whilst the kp is robbing me of a childhood (well a good childhood anyways). Talk about burning the candle from both ends! Death is easier than depression ya know? I think my bleek situation has allowed me a perspective on life which few others will ever know (or choose to acknowledge) -- obviously. At the heart of it all is just pain and the wish to never have been born. My "life" is just a tease...a slide show of things I can never have. I am a little bitter. Maybe when some more bad **** starts happening to yall......we can talk....... Negativity can be very therapeutic. I can totally understand your bewilderment at my sentement though....youre not me afterall......how could you possibly comprehend or even care for that matter? Rest assured that what ever damage I did to you with my negativity.....was paid back 100 fold to me by all of your positivity. I despise you all for it because i can't share it. (my) Life is ****. Just think of me before you decide to have kids. You might find yourself hearing this at your own dinner table oneday. Who knows....you might even spawn an even more wretched miserable monster than me. I'm off to find some of my people elsewhere.

i have Kp and chronic eczema so bad the drs thought is was psoriasis, i have had alopecia aerata, had a cancer scare twice in my life, etc etc. AND I have a beautiful, healthy, happy, loving little boy. My son has been blessed with GORGEOUS golden skin with no imperfections. I took the best care possible for him as an infant to do what i could to give him a good immune system (no colds til he was 2 when their immune system is developed more fully), since it seems that allergies, eczema, alopecia, kp are all related some how and all have an attachment to an autoimmune system issue.

Get help, you need it. you would not have posted on this board otherwise. if you truly felt as you say you did and hopeless, you would have not made an attempt on this board.

Poor girl. I feel so lucky now. It is so sad that a person has to suffer like that because someone was stupid enough to drive while drunk. That girl was very pretty in the before picture. Now she has to live with her disfigurement. Poor girl.

Sounds like you should keep taking birth control and wear long sleeve and pants for a while as you treat the KP with a regimen. I went through a very hard time recently when my KP came back with a vengeance after giving birth I thought I was going to lose my mind. I think part of the problem with most Americans is that we are given too much time to over analyze our own problems. We think that nothing bad is ever supposed to happen to us and when it does we are filled with resent. Just thank God you don't have terminal cancer or are missing a limb or any other debilatating illnesses. KP is a seasonal affliction and you can treat it. Bad things happen everyday to all kinds of people. Just try and play your hand as smart as you can and you'll get through it. Just THANK GOD you can still do what you can do RIGHT NOW because you're NOT owed ANYTHING for any length of time. Find happiness in the little things. Thank God for a beautiful day, a cup of coffee with a friend, driving with your windows down and singing a good song, there are so many little things you should consider yourself fortunate to have as part of your life. Your life would not be so great in many other countries in the world. Also realize that we will all die someday, someway, somehow. We are organic therefore we are open to disease and we all slowly degenerate.
