I was way too miserable, have had HAE attacks due to the irritation around my eyes and got next to no sleep last night so I gave up on just waiting. Still going to my appointment on Friday, but I have some steroid creams - no other active ingredients now so I'm not suffering until then.

I don't think the doctor really believed me with how much I've been moisturizing as my skin is splitting in some places, but I have been hesitant to moisturize along with some of the topical meds I've been guessing with, but now I know it's safe to do so with the stuff I have this week.
 
Oops, had a post show up 5 times so I deleted one, but it deleted them all!

I didn't really sleep last night due to being miserable and I've had HAE eye swelling due to the irritation swelling so I gave up and went to the doctor. Got some creams where the only active ingredient is steriods, including one for my face to get me through to my appointment on Friday! Yay for some comfort!

I don't think the doctor believed me about how much I have been moisturizing, my skin is bleeding and cracked multiple times some places. I've been smothering one finger in oil, polysporin cream, moisturizers, etc. about 15 times a day. I have been guessing with some of my topical meds though and didn't know if I could use a moisturizer with some of them, so now I know I can with the new stuff I have.
 
It really speaks to how uncomfortable you are, ChemGal. I hope that you find enough relief until you can have your regular appointment on Friday.
 
Thanks! Feeling better already and I can't even get all of my back. Having so many areas affected made it all seem worse. It's tolerable now and Chemguy will make it better once he's home.
I'm going to try to get in a good nap now.
 
Take care of yourself, Chemgal. Not much fun...and to wonder what caused it.

I had a quiet day at home, slept a lot still. Not sure of results yet, it's a weird time to be in, I am not good at waiting. I like to take control.

Seeler, I understand walking on eggshells, that is so hard. Glad you had a good visit with your sister on the drive.
 
Want some light reading pinga? May I suggest a set of novels by Canadian author Alan Bradley - the first is "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" ... and then I think there are about six more! I'm currently reading the second in the series. They take place in England, maybe in the 1950s (?) and the main character is an 11 year old girl named Flavia - who is a chemist & detective, youngest of three in a dysfunctional family living in a big old estate in a small town. Light reading, entertaining, humourous, good summer distraction. :-)
 
I heard an interview on CBC with the author of that book the Carolla. I meant to jot down the book but forgot when I got home so thank you for reminding me about it.

I'm currently rereading Little Women. I read it so long ago I hardly remember it which may be a good thing because I don't know if I would have picked it up again if I did. The not at all disguised life lessons and the overly sweet to each other family makes me gag sometimes! Its so sickly sweet!
 
@Greyworlf336 - The siblings in Bradley's novels are definitely not sickly sweet ... more conniving and undermining - in interesting ways!

It is the comfort zone for many who don't like the pain of learning basic truths about the darkness of the human soul as fired up by the heart lands. When one crosses over to the other's ID could it reverse, reciprocate or go tipsy-turvey as upside down?

Biblical expressions on the pain of wisdom are similar if not simile in place of metaphor ... just so you wouldn't easily know such stuff that is denied by many ... like the existence of the darkness of soul ... or psychic abstract! These are things most po' lye understood and excessively subtle in how thye are understood ... like posts in a field ... out there ... beyond myth in po-etix!

I f you use weird form ... experts miss the maas part ... thus it remains a bit black!
 
Sitting outside this morning enjoying the coolness of the dawn. Did not sleep well last night, tossed and turned., so came outside with the sun rising, to sit with a soft, light throw . The world has been waking,

It is my own foolishness, should have gotten up and taken a Tylenol or similair pain pills. What is easy to ignore during day can be bothersome at night.

Yes, I find when I'm ill or something, it's always worse at night. I feel that it's because of fatigue. I like your going outside Pinga. That sounds like a comforting choice.
 
Wishing you peace Pinga - and less pain. I'm impressed that you took yourself and your body out into the dawn. Many people find it easier to connect with the better things in life when not hemmed in by walls. Be gentle with yourself during this time of waiting.
 
glad you are feeling better Chemgal.
Pinga- you may wish to take a pain reliever at bedtime tonight. Pain always seem worse when trying to sleep-without the distraction of other things. Rest lots.
 
I learned that a friend miscarried at 8 weeks yesterday. She hadn't yet made the pregnancy public, but those of us in her closest circle knew. We'd been celebrating a new life and jokingly bemoaning the fact that she wouldn't be able to drink alcohol at my wedding. This is my closest experience to this kind of loss.
