Ever since I was a young girl I have been itchy. My mom is super itchy too. We live in a constant state of itchiness, nothing makes it better and only makes it worse. The side effects of the stuff that does work isn't worth it. My mother's symptoms have gotten worse over the years, she gets hives that look like ringworm (big, puffy, and circular) and the only thing that works is heavy antihistamines so she takes nothing. A symptom for me is that I have irritations all day long and I am so used to it that I don't even realize that my knuckles are so dry they are bleeding and so tonight my hands are burning, itching, and bleeding. Creams just make it feel worse. Typing= not a good idea. But this is a sign that I need to take care of myself and my needs. Thanks, my body, for reminding me that you are there. Yes yes, I will try to take better care of you. Sleeping, exercising, and pampering are on the calendar, right along with MOVING, which is the big suck. Worse thing ever, we all know it. Listen Carlin, I know it's all just shit, ok?
Someday, somewhere, somehow. day, where, how.
That's funny. I noticed this over the summer and noticed it was an amino acid imbalance and also B deficiency. It might also be the sign of a wheat allergy.
ReplyDeleteI think that's why for me it's irritants, and for my mom it's worse. She won't ever alter her diet. I am the one who eats what I think my body needs and avoids the things I think my body hates. :)
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us.
