The past few weeks I had a sever eczema relapse. For a few days I couldn't sleep at night time because my skin was just burning, it was awful. I'd lie awake in bed all night, then get up at, like, 6am and get something to eat, before finally losing consciousness about 9/10am for a few hours. I did have an appointment with the doctor, but, I managed to miss it because I slept in, because I wasn't sleeping at night, haha :/. Anyway, I made another one and had it on Tuesday (27 Jul). The doctor looked at me, for, like 2 seconds and prescribed me some new cream: a big bottle of DoubleBase and a moderately strong steroid cream (which has really thinned the hair on my arms, I can't decide whether that's a good or a bad thing). I also decided to change my diet, cutting down on dairy and citrus fruits (sooo hard) and eating more oily fish and I'm also taking fish oil, zinc and vitamin C supplements. Annnnyway, all of this seems to have helped as my skin has imporved a LOT and I can now sleep through the night (which really feels like a blessing after the experience I had!)
...glamorous, eh?
Glad it's improving. Let's face it, thin arm hair is better than no sleep :P xx
