Having Psoriasis in Malaysia

By: Rocyie Wong 

I have been struggling with psoriasis for almost half of my life. Growing up with a skin disease in Asia is not an easy thing, especially in a Muslim country like Malaysia. Covering up with long sleeves and long pants is the norm, so it is really easy for those patches to stay hidden. Thus, this also explains why skin disease is not talked about widely over here. As a result, there is a lack of education, awareness and understanding about various skin conditions even though they are actually very common among us. This puts us, various skin condition fighters like myself, in a position where we struggle in silence for social acceptance. Exposing our skin comes with unpleasant stares and comments from strangers, which can end up being a traumatizing experience so we avoid that at all cost.

That’s when I discovered @getyourskinout and the whole psoriasis community on Instagram. It made me feel so relieved to know that I am not alone. However, I noticed that most of them were caucasians. I wanted to be the pioneer representative from Asian countries and that’s one of the reasons why I started Project Naked. It took me 3 years of mental preparation and every ounce of courage I had in me to start this personal project of mine. But once I crossed to the other side, I was so glad I did it. The sense of liberty and freedom I felt was out of this world and I hope that I am able to inspire many others to do the same. Through being transparent and sharing my journey, I wish to highlight the struggles of the psoriasis community to the world. Because as much as this condition can breaks us down, in many ways it is also the very reason why we have a story to tell. I want to tell the world that our struggles are worth celebrating and worth sharing.

    Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v’e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33 @ gmail . com call him or whatsapp him +2.3.4.8.0.5.4.3.3.8.1.3.2 if you seek his help.

    Trust, I once believed, formed the essential foundation of any partnership, particularly in business ventures and financial transactions. My naiveté, however, led me to trust too readily. I encountered an individual presenting herself as a crypto investment guru and strategist. We bonded over shared interests, including our lifestyles and a mutual appreciation for arts and antiques. I found myself believing every word she spoke regarding his purported success in crypto and how crypto would soon take over the world. I was intrigued, after all, a couple of thousand dollars won’t break a spine. Initially, the experience seemed promising, but it soon devolved into a chaotic situation. I was repeatedly pressured to provide increasingly substantial sums of money as my supposed profits grew, and I sought to withdraw my funds. Within a mere three months, I had transferred $390,000 in Bitcoin from my wallet across five separate transactions. Subsequently, my wallet was compromised and faced imminent threat. It was at this critical juncture that I sought assistance from META TECH RECOVERY PRO. I presented my case to them, and after a thorough analysis, they revealed that I had been communicating with a single individual throughout the entire ordeal. META TECH RECOVERY PRO swiftly secured my wallet and, through their expertise, successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the scammer. In conclusion, I strongly advise exercising extreme caution when placing your trust in individuals you encounter online. I am eternally grateful to META TECH RECOVERY PRO for their invaluable assistance. They can be reached via:
