First of all i would like to thank Louise for putting up a link to here from her blog . I remember reading her blog from start to finish when i first realised what was going on . it helped so much .
So , day 110 . I last posted on friday when i thought i might be flaring again . Saturday wasnt too bad but by sunday morning and a very unrestfull night my face began to flare . i cant say its too bad but still uncomftable enough to make me feel a bit down . i thought i was going to have a decent break but it came on again . more of the intense itch and redness came back . i keep putting it down to the cold weather but i think its just the skin flaring as it wants to and when it wants to .
Hot baths and vaseline is helping though . luckily my eyes havent swolen so thats a plus "fingers crossed " . the pimples / blisters / boils are still playing me up . they have appeared on my thighs again and the odd one here and there . main ones are on my knuckles and hurt quite a lot . the skin on my hands is peeling again as well . not as bad but this time its the skin on my palms that is shedding in small bits . leaves my hands very sharp and causes another problem because when my face itches i rub with my hands and forget that there is little sharp edges of skin that can cut the skin on my face .
as well as this iv noticed that my muscles in my arms are aching and a bit painfull . im putting this down to the night itching , it gets that intense that i must be itching and rubbing so hard that its cramping my forearms and shoulders .
NOW TO THE PLUS SIDE . the skin on my stomach and back looks realy good . not one bit red . when i take my top off i look like ive fell asleep in the sun for an hour with a t-shirt on . the skin on my neck and face is not as red as before but you can still see a difference compared to my stomach and back . so im happy with that . Also , my glands in my neck and head have gone down a bit which is so good . they have been quite a problem . very raised , swolen and painfull . Hoping that continues .
Ive had some posative feedback from family and friends as well . they seem to see the difference more than i do . J , my wife scores the redness out of ten at breakfast every day . today im a BLOTCHY 6/10 . ... Good going considering i have been a SCARLET 10 / 10 . HAHA .
Some days it feels like were are discussing colours from a B&Q colour chart . sooo funny .
signing off for today so hope you all have some great healing and plenty of rest and some laughter . onward and upward .
