“It’s not a bad thing to take care of yourself,” Lauper said, encouraging people to always “make a little time for you.”
You can start small. “How about five minutes for you?” she added.
With a lot of resilience, Lauper explains that “when psoriasis gets really bad, it’s really hard to get up again,” There’s been times when she couldn’t regulate her body temperature, resulting in a chill, which can lead to hypothermia. Despite her resting, it only got worse and people doubting the severity of the condition, saying, “it’s just a rash,” added to the pain.
“You don’t have to suffer,” Lauper said. Treatments, either topical, oral medication or injections, are available to lessen the oftentimes unbearable effects of psoriasis. For Lauper, she found relief with Novartis’ Cosentyx, and as its spokesperson, she says she’s “four years clear.”
