wow , this condition can be such a roller coaster at times . last night i started the evening as usual ,get home from work , bath ,relax and have dinner then settle down for the evening . i was a bit red when i got in from work due to the cold i think so decided to have and early bath and relax a bit . i couldnt believe how good my skin looked after . even my face was realy close to a normal skin colour . had some dinner and felt realy good . no itching or redness still by 7pm . then all of a sudden my face was covered in a rash and the itch came in a wave , sorry ,tidal wave . i always seem to panic a bit when it comes on like this and that can make it worse . i washed my face in cold water and and left it to dry naturaly then put more vaseline on my face and neck . within an hour it had gone down considerably and was able to relax again for a few hours before bed . just about to get into bed and noticed that a few more spot like things had appeared on my arms . i forced myself to not prod or pick at them and they have gone down .
had a decent nights sleep ,only woke up once with itching on my face . i was so tired i just lay and waited for it to stop instead of getting up and washing . it seemed to work because i woke up this morning with calmer skin . felt very dry but it didnt itch .
its amazing how this thing can wind you up into a frenzy within minutes . from total calm to itching insanity then back to calm . im absolutely convinced that the body gets to work healing the skin as soon as my body relaxes . im trying to look at it as a sort of self treatment . i know that when im in a state of total relaxation ,my body will get to work and thats why im itching . ive just gotta learn to accept the fact and go with it . its mind over matter i suppose .
this morning ive been classed as a sunburned seven by J . i dont mind that after the night i had . thought i would wake up a ten again .
ive got a busy few days ahead with work and also my daughter and her boyfriend are coming home from portugal for a few days . that means eating out and a few pubs ect ect . always like to take them out for a few meals and get the whole family together for drinks . im just hoping this latest flare goes by then so i can enjoy my few days with them .
anyway ,work beckons ,so bye for now . happy healing to everyone .
