In the last two weeks I have definitely been in a flared up stage again. The dry and flakiness of my skin has increased a lot and my ankles are terribly swollen and weeping. My hands are still very bad and the healing is slow.
I do have so much to be thankful for though, my face is good at the moment compared to the past few months. I feel like I can go out confidently when I'm wearing loose covered clothing. It almost feels normal for a moment until I catch a glimpse of my wrist or see how red my neck is in a mirror.
There are people on this same journey who have symptoms far worse so I'm grateful and thankful with how my body is coping and I'm doing all I can to help it recover.
I saw the naturopath again this week and did a skin sensitivities test. I tested high for -
Wheat
Gluten
Rice
Rye
Durum wheat
Yeast
Almonds
Cows milk
So I have had to ditch all the almond meal and flour that I have been using and have been sticking closely just to the foods I can have.
Other symptoms that are plaguing me right now are the itch, oh my gosh the itch! Insomnia at nights when I am beyond tired and just so angry I cannot sleep and fatigue in the days. Obviously this is from bad nightly sleeps but it's a whole new level and I'm certain has to do with what I'm going through as well.
