Hi Sarah,

I too suffer from psiorisis. Totally vanished during pregnancy and didnt re-appear until a few weeks after i was diagnosed with PNI - all the stress and upset made it come back, it was inevitable really! Obviously if you have had psiorisis before you will know that it gets worse when you are stressed/troubled/down etc.... so it isnt a direct side effect of pni but because of the way you are feeling your psiorisis will obviously have a field day with you!!

The difficulty in sleeping is extremely common. I used to take ages to go to sleep and when i finally did i would still be quite restless. When izzy woke for a night feed I used to resent her slightly for waking me as I knew that on average I would take about 1-2 hours to get back to sleep again because of all the thoughts going around in my head. I think all of the girls on here will be able to agree that not sleeping is a side effect of pni - you can be so stressed and feel as though you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, so of course you will find it difficult to tune off and rest.

I dont have acne but when I am very run down from tiredness etc... I do get very dry spotty skin, I drink lots of water and mosturise my face a few times a day when it gets like this - i find it helps.

I hope you are ok and im praying that you get a good nights sleep.
