Well, I just had a nice long soak in the jacuzzi tub with epsom salts, and a couple of drops each of frankincense and peppermint (it was eucalyptus I was out of). Used a load of the "no one is allergic to this" dermatologist cream, and life feels a tad less itchy. But I've got to get on top of this; ridiculous.

Frankincense was the other one I was going to suggest :)

I haven't taken a bath since I was about 14 years old, and even back then I didn't see much point to it. I could never understand just what the benefit was to me of sitting in water containing my own dirt of the day. I greatly prefer taking showers as I find that they actually wash me quite clean.

I'm a shower person myself, but irritated skin that needs soaking in something needs a bath.

And honestly, I don't really do anything that would render me "dirty" unless I've been out in the garden.
 
No better, but I took an antihistamine today, so at least I've minimized the further irritation that scratching causes. I'm going to have to go see my nurse-practitioner next week and see if she's got any ideas better than anti-fungal, cortisone, or burn it off...

Hopefully to can find an answer that works for you. Hugs

No, clothing is careful. Nothing but organic cotton, hemp and merino, where possible. Most of my clothing comes second hand from my baby sister, who hovers perpetually one size larger than I, hands stuff down as we grow/age, and has some of the same sort of skin issues, much milder except for rosacea. She thinks part of her problem is gluten, but she was much better in the U.K. I had a better couple of weeks there, too. Thought it was due to the salve that I brought back, which is doing nothing here, lol. Was talking to my son in Oz last night about inherited issues; complicated.

I have heard others saying their gluten sensitivity improved when they were in England. The flour is from a different blend of wheats I believe.
 
Oh my - all that allergy stuff is even making me get itchy! Sounds awful - hoping some relief finds its way to you all soon.

Kimmio - your brick painting project turned out fantastic! Are you happy with it? Looks amazing to me.

BethAnne - I recently discovered the seniors centre I go to for my exercise programme has a small library in it - and that has an assortment of jigsaw puzzles!! I have two big & difficult looking ones waiting in my cupboard - gifts from my kids - that I will get to after Xmas :-) But then I will explore the library supply! You seem to be pretty quick with them. Kind of addictive for me.

I started the first of the box of 10 yesterday...our local library has lots and exchanges with another library 2 or 3 times a year...I've also been asked to share any I want to get rid of with a senior's apartment in the next community.
