Having a good attitude on a bad day...

I try and stay positive and not let it get me down but today is not good. I have eczema on my cheeks. It burns and hurts. It's covering almost my entire back, arm pits, stomach, arms, and my hips. I have been doing all I can to research what could be causing the latest uncontrollable wrath that has taken over me. Having eczema on my face is where I draw the line. It's painful and viewable by all to see. Sucks.

I'm going to have to put some pics on just to document how bad it is right now.

I am seeing an allergist on Monday who will hopefully give me more information on how to control all of my allergies. I'm hoping to start allergy shots.

I am also on the look out of how to buy a nickel testing kit for my nickel allergy.

  1. You poor thing!! Once I switched to 100% cotton, that helped my Allergic Contact Dermatitis (Eczema) a lot. Here's a nickel testing kit too! I react the same to nickel as poison ivy - incredibly aggravating :-( http://www.nonickel.com/catalog/Nickel_test-12-1.html

    Hope you have some improvement very soon! *HUGS*

  2. Thank you! I am working on switching to all cotton. It is a process. This is all new to me and your blog has been very helpful. Thank you for the "no nickel" link! I will check it out for sure. I have no idea how often I come in contact with nickel but I'm sure it's a lot. Any tips or ideas you have please share with me. I greatly appreciate it!
