feeling better...on that prednasone again...blah,but i swear i am praying for a miracle that maybe my sking will be better. i am putting this salve i bought at this natural place in san francisco to prevent infection and it seems to work well. cuz i still have some cracks here and there and i definately dont want to deal with antibiotics again. im putting lots of eucerin so that my skin heals. i am also starting all my naturopathic stuff and herbal remedies...cuz i figure, if its gonna get worse before it gets better, might as well get worse now that i am not working and have the luxury (although it bores the crap out of me) to lay around the house.Â
i had a good past 2 days. i saw friends, hung out with my boyfriends family today and was OUT OF MY APARTMENT. so yeah, wont lie, i started to worry abotu getting itvhy, red, and annoyed after the pred wears out, but i figure i should only worry when i have to and enjoy my clear skin for the time being, even if its 2 days...
but that damn prednasone made me gain weight! at least 5 pounds cuz it makes me so hungry, i have NEVER eaten this much. my bf is even surprise at how ofteni saw i am hungry....however, i have a feeling that it might also be that i eliminated all breads, pastas, and wheat...but i found alternatives that are unfortunately a lot more oily, like tortilla chips and potatoe chips...i just gotta be moderate...and being int he apartment all day for 2 weeks didnt help...being inactive...i wanna hit the gym again. might try going tomorrow. cuz i definately feel my clothes fitting tighter...eww...but im not gonna stress...5 pounds in 2 weeks will be easy...
oh yeah, FYI, the salt mineral bath seems to take the infection out of some spots on my arm...but since my skin was already inflammed, i cant really tell if it helped or not..more on that as I try to soak in it tomorrow...
now i just concentrate on eating healthy, moderately, and tryin to stay positive despite the hardships. drinking my green tea (3 cups a day), taking probiotics, flax seed oil capsules, digestive enzymes, vitamin D supplements, and drinking nasty turmeric. Also, looking to try acupuncture and chinese herbs...so we'll see, ill keep you all posted...im gonna start reading more and STOP watching so much TV. i hate feeling like a couch potatoe. and i should really be preparing my curriculum for next year. if i plan really well this summer, i wont be so stressed during the school year...and less stress equals less eczema flares...
as for the hair pulling....eh, i know i need to stop but i dont know how...i catch myself and i stop but then i start again, i dont see anythign big but my pony tail seems less full so i definately wana keep my hair...i think ill stick to nail bitting...lol...its the less of the two evils...
