Yeah I bet Diane, I'm really happy that Australia does this, and thought it was normal everywhere LOL obviously not...

I am so over this excema!! not only is it really really bad at the moment but it has started spreading up my arms!! and has just started on my face

my eyes are so sore from it and my face is burning

but we rang the dermatologist today, to get an appointment they said they didn;tt have any available till July

but they had just had a cancellation and the appointment was for this Thursday Thank you God!! so this Thursday I am going to find out hopefully what it is that is causing this and get it fixed!! fingers crossed!!

Cassie, this may be off the wall as a suggestion for your excema but it's worth a try.

I have LOTS of allergies .... the horses, the pups, food, pollens, you name it I got it.

I also have contact allergies ......

I was in the doc office for my regular monthly check upfor my lungs and I had yet

'another' rash .... I get so fed up with going to doctors when he

suggested another dermotologist I went "yeah, ok"...

I thought and thought, driving home and decided before going to yet another doctor I

was going to try something....... I changed out my shampoo, my bathing soap and

all my lotions and potions.......even the dishwashing soap.

Changing out the shampoo and bathing soap had the best effect. The intense itching

of my eyes and face was comparatively, almost immediately gone, like within hours .... in a few days

the rash was gone.

This was some years ago....I go thru shampoos like crazy. I buy them and use them once or twice

and as soon as I feel the itching, they go into a box .... I develop develop a sensitivity in just a

few shampoos.

What I've found is to use shampoos with as little scent as possible and to find ones that are

sulfate free.

Oatmeal is a good calmative to the skin, as you've found. I use only body soaps for use in

super sensitive skins. I don't know what brands you have available in AUS but I'm sure, for

shampoos - sulfate free would be something to look for.

Might be worth a try if you haven't gone this route already .... I certainly sympathize with you,

in any case.

Poor Cassie I hope the dermatologist is able to help you! So glad you don't have to wait months to go now! Praying for you!

 

[cassie]

Only two sleeps!! I'm so hoping they help my with this!!!

Thanks nancy we use only natural stuff at home but at the vets I'm around chemicals all day.... Thinking seriously about quitting I'm in two minds about the whole thing... My whole family have been so good

dad has been feeding the horses for me I can't even do that which sucks!! N mum has been washing my hair for me n getting hand soaks n everything... I'm working again tomorrow but Thursday I am having the day off which will be so good

It's so hard not knowing what I'm allergic to, as I could be still doing something that is making it worse I just have no clue, please continue the prayers I have started soaking my hands in rolled oats n that is soothing it briefly, but really well.

Thanks again

will

Et you all know how I go on Thursday

 

[Eagle]

I hope you get relief soon Cassie

 

[MeganH]

I am so sorry, Cassie

I really hope this clears up for you soon.

I was about to say the same thing as Diane with the gloves. I was told to do that with my hands and even using saran wrap ( or 'cling wrap'- the clear plastic food wrap) and wrap it on my arms and legs in the areas I had splotchy eczema and let it sit over night.

Prayers still coming your way, friend!

 

[cassie]

Thanks girls, last night was the first night tht I didn't have to get out of bed to soak my hands or take a pain killer yay!!!!

When I came home from work last night I had an hour long soak in our lovely big bath with rolled oats and Himalayan salt (better then normal salt apparantly) n this morning they aren't sore at all just still swollen and peeling. One more sleep

its still spreading up my arms but at least I have some relief with my hands

Cassie, this is going to sound "out there" but have you tried soaking your hands in warm mild salt water mixed with a little milk? Salt "draws" so I'm thinking it might help draw out the "bad" and bring your natural soothing fluids to your broken areas, and the calcium soothes. I would also prick an oil capsule of Vitamin E and spread over your hands, then put on gloves -- as it is wonderful in promoting healing to skin.

Just a "feeling" that came over me while I was reading this morning -- and I always go with what is "put in my mind" to share.

Thanks Diane, yeah the salt has been really helping, n I think the oats are doing a similar thing to the milk as u suggest

we put them in a stocking n then I swish it round in the bath water n play with it in my hands n it seems to have helped, I did another hand soak this morning will do another when I come home for lunch n then I might have another soak tonight thank you for your thoughts n prayers, they are definitely helping... I still can't move my hands much from the swelling, but at least I have some relief

Oh n thanks for the advice with the vitamin E Diane I'll let mum know, I have still been using the coconut oil n then putting gloves on, but I might give the vitamin E a try

pretty much I'll try anything

besides cortisone!!! Yuck horrid stuff!

My lovely dad fed the fur kids for me again, I hate not being able to cuddle or scratch them, smartie came up to me last night n put his head to my chest n just stood there wanting some lovin n all I could do was kiss him on the nose n talk to him...

will be so glad when this is all sorted... Anyway I'm rambling I think I learnt that from Anna lol love ya Anna

have to get down to work, talk to you lovely ladies later

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Its Wednesday here still, but when you get up it will be your Thursday there. Just want to see how the appt went? Im hoping you get some answers and more healing

 

[MeganH]

I was checking in to see how your dr visit went, Cassie! Good luck if you haven't already been!

I am going to get some vitamin e capsules for my eczema. I have never had this before and the dr says its a bad year and I have spots of eczema popping up on my arms and legs. My best friend picked out SHORT dresses for the bridesmaids so I don't want to look like I have ringworm or something walking down the isle. I am using this cortizone 10 intense healing formula for eczema and psoriasis but need something more.

 

[AnnaC]

Sorry I've not been posting that much my friend, but have been saying prayers for you and sending healing thoughts, now I am praying that the new vet man can find out what is wrong and help you to get it sorted once and for all.

Please please let us know as soon as you have any news.

 

[AnnaC]

Any news? Hope it all went well Cassie!

 

[cassie]

Sorry for not posting much lately Ladies, but it really hurts my hands to type

so I have been watching but just not posting that much, I have just soaked my hands so I have relief and more movement so I thought I would come on here and update you all

Oh, I am so happy!!! When I'm praying and things come into my mind, I've learned that I need to share them no matter how strange they might sound, I'm so glad the Lord put that in my mind!!

The Vitamin E is really good for healing skin. The capsules are oil, and all we do is prick it, and squeeze the oil out onto the skin. I've used it for burned skin here for years, and during several "scalding" incidents over the years with the kids and me, not ONE scar remains. All the skin healed just perfectly!

Thank you so much for sharing that with me Diane, as you say if something comes from The Lord, it should definitley be shared. Mum n I are going to the shops later today after my app so I might see if we can find some, the rolled oats and salt have been helping the most, and today is the first day that some of the swelling has come down, my hands are all peeling and horrid LOL but they are feeling better which is the main thing

Thank you for your prayers and advice hugs to you all

I was checking in to see how your dr visit went, Cassie! Good luck if you haven't already been!

My Dr visit is at 1:45pm this arvo, its 11:10am at the moment, so I will know in a few hours, I'm really hoping and praying that he is able to help me!!

just a small word of advice Megan and please dont take this the wrong way... but I would stay away from cortisone if I were you... I know it helps clear it up, but it actually only masks the excema and thins the skin so when the excema comes back which unfortunatly it will

your skin wont be able to handle it and it could make it worse... the docs always say to use cortisone but it is really bad for you... and if you keep using it will badly affect your liver

I hope the vitamin E cream works for you... I'm definitley going to give it a try

Any news? Hope it all went well Cassie!

lol no news yet Anna, thanks for checking, will let you know when I get back and tell you all what he said. fingers crossed everyone!!

 

[MeganH]

eww yuck! I did not know that Cassie! It definitely never has cleared up the areas I treat but just didn't make them look as bad and they flare up a week or so after.. so I wanted to try something else.. especially now that you say that! Seems like it wasn't healing mine only calming it a bit. I just put some more on today too. I have one spot that is really bad and painful on the inside of my thigh a few inches above my knee I couldn't take it anymore today.

Does your dr say to get it really oily? My son's dr told me to lather him with Vaseline or oil when his flares up in the in the crease on his arms on the inside of his elbows. His is not bad now for some reason but I am glad.

Good luck today with your appointment. I really hope they can help you.. you poor thing

 

[AnnaC]

When you can type, we would love an update Cassie.

Sending ((((HUGS))))

 

[Eagle]

any news Cassie. I hope you are feeling better

 

[cassie]

Hi Ladies sorry for not updating sooner.

went to the dermatologist yesterday and she was shocked by how bad my hands were hehe.

she said it is definitley allergy dermatitis and that I did have an infection in my hands, so I'm on strong antibiotics and she has given me some ointment and I have to do wet dressings on them.

I also have to get an allergy test done in a week, I cant get one straight away as my dermatitis is very bad at the moment and I would be positive to everything they tested me to at the moment, so I have stuff to help me recover and hopefully have it not happen again.

Thanks for your prayers and concerns.

Megan my dermatologist said vitamin E is very good and so is rolled oats, though my hands are not ready for the vitamin E yet apparantly. In about a week or two I can start using the viatmin E

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Oh I am so glad you are on the road to recovery! I hope and pray everything heals up soon!
