Im sorry its making you feel so bad at the moment, its weird how sometimes we cope better than others, I havent an answer for you im afraid I can only say that Yes i feel the same as you .......quite often.
I hope you feel more able to cope better soon :)


Rich, I am SO sorry you are having a bad day. I know we all feel like that at times. Try to focus on good things. Do something you really enjoy to try to take your mind off of the the negative. It's hard I know. I hear ya about being driven nuts at work. I work in customer service and somedays its just too much to deal with. I don't know how to type a hug, but consider yourself hugged! ;)


RichJ,
I'm sorry you had such a rough time last night. I had a horrible nights sleep also. I just scratch myself to death. I haven't had the itchies in quite sometime. Just hang in there. When do you see your new derm?


thank you all. im stress out to the max. nothing going right. i need a break. some itching has stop. nov 1 is my next derm apoint ment. thank you all.


I know exactly how you feel. I have been struggling with the itchies. I look silly.....looks like I have fleas :eek: A little humor never hurts huh. I think this is all about the weather change for me. I live in Indiana and I have had alot of those sleepless nights and tiring days. That might have something to do with my days being off . Ya know the lack of sleep on top of stress.What a cruddy mixtture. It looks to me like everyone is here for you. Hang in there and if you find time tonight come shat with us. I know it always makes me feel better. I plan on being there since I have had a few bad nights and days myself. :) Smile ......we are behind you in this.
Take care
Beth


Rich I hope your day gets better...thinking of you.


Richard,
I feel bad for all of us. Why do we have to go through this???? I am feeling the same exact way you are right now. I am glad u have a derm appt, hopefully he can give you some relief. For me, I feel hopeless, I have no insurance, and I dont know if I will be getting it anytime soon. :( Well Rich, feel better ok! You are too sweet to feel bad!

I have noticed over the years that humidity plays a role in how badly my P itch/flake/shed. On top of worsening scales and geater coverage in fall/winter, the humidity drops and causes added grief.You can control the humidity at home, work is a diff. story. I installed a whole house steam humidifier in my house.
May be extremely common knowledge amongst this group but I have found Keri lotion to be the best thing to keep mine somewhat moist all day long. It is fairly expensive but my wife catches it on sale and buys it in bulk. I recommend you try Keri if you haven't already done so.

Hey Rich, I'm sorry your having a bad day...I was wondering if you could talk to your doctor and get on disability for a short while? Sounds like you need a break and if you could take some time and take care of yourself. Maybe a couple months off work would be enough to get some relief from the P and PA and try to get rid of some of the stress. I know there is alot of red tape you have to do for disability, but when it comes to your health it may be worth it. This was just a thought....


thank you all for caring. 90% of my itching has stop. why i don't know. it has been along day. every thing here is cleared up. yeah. the though of disability has crossed my mind. but to me if i can do the job i will do it because if i didn't i would feel like im ripping some one off. that's me. i let people rip me of but want rip them off. sorry if i sound short off before im sorry. well thank you all. i feel alot better. time to go home.
have a good night all
itchy richy.lol all :D


Rich,,,,did you noitice the itching stopped before or after you entered the (((((((BUBBLE)))))))) ??????? LOL
All joking aside,,,did you notice if you ate or drank something different,,,and I told you when that happens,,,go soak in the tub with baking soda and a few drops of some all natural oil,,,and just lay and relax,,for 30 mins. It helps!!!! and while your at it,,,light a candle,,,put some music on,,,,and
WAWLAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)


hi arlie
i never itch like i did this moring. all i can think is that it was very cold in the house last night because the heat didn't come on. it was 64 in the house. i was cold this moring. i will take a warm bath and then get it my warm bubble. well of to get the candles and radio and some wine to relax with. i need one more thing to relax but i can't think what it is.
have a good night all
