Day 380-Day 386 Quick Healing Flares and Agoraphobia
My skin has been pretty mild and seems to be clearing up, but who knows. My wrists have been super reactive and will get CRAZY itchy and bright red and then the next day will be mild and normal. I’ve also been tackling some generalized anxiety lately. I’ve had it pretty bad since this whole thing started, but I’m really trying to get to the bottom of it now. I’m wondering if any of it has to do with the ridiculous amount of selfies I’ve taken and how deeply I’ve inspected myself the last year… That can’t be healthy on your psyche. Anyway, starting to really get to the bottom of what’s triggering it so I can move past it. It’s definitely better than it was in month 6 when I first started stepping out, but it’s definitely still there.
Anyway, onto pics….
Day 380
Day 383
SERIOUSLY! Compare this to yesterday!? |
Day 385
I was SO DRY and itchy all night. I woke up and had scratched the skin off here. It HURT. |
This. Shower. Hurt. |

Day 396 – Day 425 Month 14 Fighting More Flares
Month 14…. Some calm skin… Fighting flares. Fighting flares.
This disease is a marathon. Except you never know what mile marker you’re at and you didn’t prepare before hand. And you’re wearing the wrong shoes. Well, for me anyway. I stumbled upon it.
I struggle with staying mentally strong. For the most part, I feel like I’ve done ok. But I’ve definitely reached my limit on quite a few occasions and was drug to shore kicking and screaming by some pretty amazing people. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without the Facebook support group.
While I’m still struggling, I can say that I’ve been living. I can slap makeup on-or not- and my skin has been strong despite flares. Until the flare that hit at the end of this month and the beginning of next, I didn’t experience ooze.
Skin was feeling SO calm. VERY little itching at night and was sleeping pretty well through the night. |
Day 398
Randomly started acting crazy Easter afternoon. |
Slapped some makeup on her… and she was fine… until… |
Day 402
THE NEXT MORNING… Right after a shower, so it’s totally inflamed |
This guy is about to start giving me hell. |
