at least we can all relate to each other….
Hi all,
I am so sorry that we all can relate to each other. I wish none of us had
to deal with eczema (or psoriasis or whatever mystery ailment we have).
Well, I just realized that I haven’t had the nighttime unbearable itchiness
for quite awhile now and it is definitely something I do not miss! It used
to keep me up constantly, and if I was itchy or in pain, I was crying!).
Anyway I did a detox/diet program through my chiropractor. I now avoid flour
and dairy (which she says are my allergies), and chocolate which I thought I
grew out of….I am also allergic to latex. I am still on a somewhat
restricted diet in addition (avoiding foods that are hard on digestion). I
also take a bunch of vitamin supplements.
Overall my skin has improved greatly. I used to be irritated on my whole
body. Now it only flares some on my hands and neck. I do get itchy here and
there but not nearly as often as before. The problem is that I have become
very sensitive to lots of things and can’t always pinpoint what it is.
Well I have been pretty good for the last few months. My only problem is
recently. I used to live in NY but now reside in Florida. I went for a
visit to upsate NY, where it was freezing. And since then my hands have
flared up badly. I can’t get them to heal. I believe it was the combination
of cold environment and the water up there. I even put cream on my hands
while there with cotton gloves everynight to try to prevent a flare up.
Good luck to everyone finding some sort of relief.
Take Care,
Sue
