Bitten again
I was outside after sundown on Sunday evening, and the flying nasties managed to bite me.
Not that I knew about it until 24 hours later. For some reason I don’t seem to get an instant reaction to things that bite me – it takes at least a day before the venom or saliva or whatever [...]

Sore again
Haven’t posted for quite a while – things have been busy, but my dry patches haven’t been too bad, really.
But today I’m sore again, and I think its a combination of stress, heat and uncomfortable clothing.
Unfortunately my local chemist isn’t stocking Elave shower gel at the moment, so I’m going to have to order online [...]

I caught myself absent-mindedly scratching just inside my waistband where my eczema patches stubbonly remain after well over 12 months now. How long have I been doing this and not noticing? How will I ever know????
Meh. Gonna slap the hydrocortisone on tonight and hope for the best.

I’ve read most of it, and I found it really helped me to understand the eczema that I suffer from. [...]

Elave – lovely shower gel
I bought some shower gel from this lovely on-line shop, and I’ve been trying it for a few days now. Since I’m used to using creamy E45 emolient, this is very different, and much more runny. Its a liquidy-gel, really and almost clear. It goes on easily – much easier than E45, and leaves you [...]
