Itch-Itch-Itch!!!
I'm so tired of itching! I itch everywhere! My legs,,,my hands,,my stomach,,my legs,,my arms,,my back. Eczema is slowly taking over my body. I lost a day of work this week because my hands were so bad, itching and cracking, that I couldn't use a computer. Slathered on Gold Bond medicated body lotion and put on latex gloves for four hours and it softened my hands so I could bend my fingers better. There are spots of eczema on my stomach, back, and upper legs that are driving me crazy.(Short Drive) Why can't cortizone cream come in giant, economy tubes?! Will be going to the doctor this morning to have the infection in my right leg checked. It's been two weeks since I started the antibiotic and it seems the swelling has gone down quite a bit, but it should since I've been wearing an ace bandage on it every day. The sore on my left foot is still around. It would seem a second antibiotic would have cleared it up, but it didn't. Still hurts when I walk. Vickie is so concerned with my legs, she called me on my cell on my way to work Friday. Told her I was going to doc and she told me to call her when I got back. She just doesn't want me to get mrsa again. She still remembers coming into my hospital room while they were scraping my legs. Must have been pretty bad because she's not afraid of anything. I saw it only one time. I'm tired of hurting when I walk. And, I'm tired of my hands itching, cracking, and bleeding. Will ask the doc for a bigger prescription of the eczema cream so I can cover all the spots. So far I've been using it on my hands for the most part. On a positive note, I've cut my smoking by two-thirds. I smoke only at work where the stress is and only one or two at home. I'm buying cigaretts that I don't like so I'll smoke less. Gotta go. Can't sleep so I've got to make a pot of coffee and scratch.
