I was feeling better thinking I had calmed my LS down, and I  was hoping the calm period would last until my app't with the specialist next month. I had been so raw from front to back that I stopped using the Clob and started cream for yeast infection.  I thought it could be one of those two things since I kept getting worse.  I continued using the emul oil.  Anyway it felt much better until today.  Maybe it was a dumb thing to do ,but I did some yoga on the floor with my granddaugther.  When I felt pulling I just readusted myself. Later today, I did garden work.  I hadn'r done any physical activity for 6 or 7 weeks so I really over did it I guess. Tonight, I see raw areas that have come back and there is some itching . Could it be getting hot made it worse, along with the activity?  Will I ever be able to exercise without it hurting ? The exercise doesn't bother that much , but I really like working in the garden.  But it gets very hot here, today it was 88...  last week in the 90's. I know sweat makes LS worse.

    I also was thinking I was getting on top of it. Very little itching and burning anymore. But to my dismay... Here I am struggling again. I knew I was getting a little careless about my diet, I was stressed AND on Sunday I was at an event that I was very active and it was hot! My back was wet with sweat! I haven't been diagnosed too long and I felt so deflated and sad and depressed at the set back. This requires such vigilance. My conclusion... The sweating, stress and sugar and possibly too much gluten. This is life changing.

    Yes it is - it took me a long time to realise just how much. However now that I have it is a little easier. I just wish medical science would catch up for us x
