Discouraged
Posted , 8 users are following.
Been diagnosed for about a month and a half. Though I believe I had it off and on for many years. I was feeling much more positive and things were improving with steroid and vaseline and emuaid. . (Have also used coconut oil, olive oil, and aloe Vera gel) I got a little more careless with diet and coffee and also got very sweaty and hot on Sunday and oh , yes and stressed. ... Woe is me... Itching (almost on top of that again) and burning are back.
I just needed to dump. Feel pretty sad and discouraged. . Does it get easier? Will I always have to be so very careful with everything I do and eat?

for itching, try some ice cubes. Sometimes they interrupt the itch signal! Of course, don't leave them there for long! 😊 I also have a prescription for lidocaine and that also helps.

Last week we were in such a hot spot, I could no longer bare it and the LS started to protest the circumstances I was in. I got into the travel trailer, opened all windows, took off all my clothes and laid down, legs apart. For a couple of days I had to use the glob after that. When we were in cooler country all turned out for the better again. Another time I covered the area with a kind of heavy cream and dared to cool off in the for the eye clean looking lake. It was either one or the other.
Such is the life of a person with LS and over time I more or less have accepted it. But still dreaming that one day this special care is no longer needed. All I can say is: Dream with me for a cure.
