The Seven Year Itch

I don't even know what that means. All I know is that is the name of some movie. But it seems to fit how I feel right now. Folks, I am ITCHY!!! My eczema has blown up like crazy. We are talkin' every single part of my body is covered in a insatiable tickley ITCH! I have a giant spot on my neck that looks like Lohn gave me a gigantic hickey, and it's spreading. My right eye lid is swollen and I am not even going to start on my arms and legs. The worst part is sleeping. All I can do is lay there, trying to convince myself I'm not itchy (NOT successfully), and I wake up several times in the middle of the night to SCRATCH! ARRRGH! I have a Dr. appointment, but not until the 25th. I think I will be calling them tomorrow and BEGGING for them to see me sooner. Did I mention I hate to look at my swollen ruddy face in the mirror? Bleh.

Oooh, no fun. I'm sorry. My babies are starting to get some eczema too.

That doesn't sound fun. Over the counter cortizone creme works pretty good, I plaster Aiden with it when he gets like that.

Miserable! I hope they give you some good stuff! Mara's has been flaring too, and she has horrible scratch marks everywhere. We know dairy is a trigger for hers, but how do you not give a growing toddler any dairy!?! Ditto on the steroid/cortizone creams!

They are NOT identical, I'm pretty certain. But sometimes they look pretty darn close.

Sorry about your itchiness, that is the WORST! I got itchy just now thinking about it.
