Psoriasis Cure Now!: “Psoriasis: Why Me?” :30 PSA

(Person with Psoriasis) V.O.:
Why am I stuck with Psoriasis? Why me? I mean … Who picked me for this? I feel like I’m stuck in this world, far far away from here where everything is burning. Constant irritation. It’s like one vicious cycle, where’ there’s no way out. I am so tired of this … you know what I mean? … Oh, wait a minute! There’s an exit! Ah, thank God … is that an angel? Maybe, she can help me…

Psoriasis Cure Now!: “A Shorten Life” :30

(Person with Psoriasis) V.O.:
In case you’re wondering, “What is Psoriasis?”… It’s itchy: It bleeds. I’ve had it all my life. It breaks out everywhere. Every year, I spend thousands of dollars for medicine and treatments. It NEVER goes away. And what do I tell my children someday who may have inherited psoriasis, … knowing their life span is shortened by 4 years, too?

ABOUT PSORIASIS CURE NOW 2008 Contest Entry:

This is a 30 second PSA of a man in his 30s affected by Psoriasis since a child.

FACT: “A recent study published in the Archives of Dermatology (December 2007) has found that severe psoriasis reduced life expectancy by 3.5 years for men and 4.4 years for women.” … “People with severe psoriasis had a 50% higher death rate than those without psoriasis. The elevation in relative death rates was highest for younger patients and declined steadily with age, ranging from a 150% higher death rate at age 35 to a 10% higher death rate at age 95.”

(New Yorker Affected With Psoriasis) V.O.:
My father has it. My mother has it. I have it. And, if I have a child or children, he or she just might have it. What am I talking about here? PSORIASIS. It’s not a good feeling to have especially when you had it since a kid. People look at it and act like I got some kind of contagious disease or something. Sure it helps with prescription but it still doesn’t make it go away, you know? Not to mention it’s pretty costly without insurance. Yeah, I deal with the pain, mostly the inner pain. My bed sheet can get bloody because I keep scratching. I cover myself up always. So, I wait for the one day, Congress pushes really hard to find a cure so I can run out in sun, you know? In my shirts with my gal … I just hope that it’s not too late but not for me, for her. She’s kind of worried about her weight and cellulite. Oh, yeah, she wants to know, will there be cure for that too?

ABOUT PSORIASIS CURE NOW Contest Entry:

This is a 60 second PSA of a male affected by Psoriasis since a child. He suffers with well over 125 million people throughout the world: 7.5 million in the USA alone. There is NO absolute cure for psoriasis. Sure, there are many treatments; but, each has a different level of desired success for each person affected.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease affecting both sexes. It is characterized by thick, red, silvery, scaled patches of the skin located on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, soles of the feet, fingernails, toenails, genitals, and inside the mouth. It is most common (getting it) between the ages of 15 and 35; although, it can occur at any age. There is no known cause or cure to date. However, there is evidence that genetics and the immune system may be involved. Recent research has pointed to an abnormality of the immune system’s T-cells as the source.
