Well here I am updating my diary ...
I haven't had the best last few weeks. My rash got really bad, especially during that week when we had really hot weather
. I am still going for my homeopathy treatment. I don't know how long it will take, but I've been on the tablets for over a month now and the rash is still there. But I'm staying patient because I have heard good things that homeopathy deals with the problem from the source rather than the surface like steroid creams do (and they thin the skin over time
). I would rather avoid having to use the steroid creams and opt for natural therapy which will be kinder to my skin in the long run.
In terms of diet, when my flare up is really bad, I can't even use my hands to chop or peel or cook at all, it hurts
so I just have to rest my hands and do nothing. It gets tough, I get frustrated sometimes when I can't even do the simplest things for myself. Especially when the weathers nice and you see people going out, I haven't left the house in a while, too embarrassed to be seen in public with bright red skin from my rash
. I waiting in hope that one day it will go away.
Once I'm fully recovered, then I may join a SW group and start again. I have gained a little, but not hugely so that's ok. Something that has made me happy is, I'm purchasing another kitchen gadget
, I have so many, its my addiction
.
It's an electric fruit and veg peeler . I didn't know they exist. Well they did in my head
but never knew that you can actually buy one . Most people will look at them and think you must really have to be lazy to want one of these and I agree, I'm normally the kind of girl that gets things done for herself and have no problem using a regular peeler, but since I suffer from a skin condition, its a life saver. When my skin gets really bad on my hands, I can't peel or chop or prepare food for myself, so this has come at a great time
.
Here is the vid :-
