About Me
48, 2 grown kids and a hubby who is both the best and worst to me and for me. We are polar opposites and for the most part balance well, but life over the past couple years has been rough. I had back surgery, and eczema has taken over my life. Stress doesn't help. What happened to me? I used to be the rock, now i feel like i'm under a rock.

Hug
Thank you so much for your advise, that sounds like a good idea -- Because I do, I get up wondering okay what do I eat now, because I go to bed planning and wake up doing the same thing. So I think I will try your advise and see how it goes!!! Thank you so much!!!

Have tried it all, creams, steroids, light treatments, diets, chinese herbs, acupuncture, the whole shibangee and really having a problem getting this under control. back on prednisone in a desperate attempt to clear it up and hopefully stay out of the itch-zone!
Treatments
- Hydrocortisone Somewhat Helpful
Close Anxiety
I usually have anxiety because of my eczema, which has been lifelong. Feeling of worthlessness, obsession - to scratch or not to scratch, who is looking at me, etc. Many sleepless nights and always have plan b, c and more in the wings is controlling.
