Just a quick update here today folks.
Not started the immunosuppressant, Cyclosporine yet that I talked about in a recent post. By chance we were getting a new bathroom fitted which meant I couldn't rely on my beloved Epsom salt baths for relieve.
This helped me out tons as I think I may have been stripping the body's natural oils due to frequent bathing. Showering was all I could do because of this. The lack of bathing has had a positive effect on my skin. The angry, redness has receded. So much so that recently I've stopped applying Vaseline all over. The only parts where I apply the Vaseline are my face, neck and hands for comfort and relieve.
Still flaring daily and suffering from insomnia. Some days I don't even shower or bathe. Gonna give my skin and body more time as I'd like to avoid taking Cyclosporine for obvious reasons, side effects being my main concern.
Will update the blog on Tuesday with picts when I enter my one year anniversary into withdrawal!.
Cheers for stopping by.
See you soon.
Gary
