My hand and feet look like patchwork and they feel like someone is busy with the quilting.

What's wrong? Allergies?
*hugs* ~sends healing vibes~

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

eczema, fungus, infections and an allergy! When I get something I really go all the way ;)

Things are slowly starting to look (and feel *phew!*) better now: must have been the healing vibes :D

[piratesorka.livejournal.com]

Oh my dear, what a trial that must be! Do you get any relief at all? ARe you satisfied with your doctor? Is he/she doing the best for you?

I just had my fourth restless night of poor sleep. I am going to take my own advice and thunder at my doctor about giving me something, anything to help me sleep.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

I'm very satisfied with my doctors (there's two of 'm, a woman and a man) and their assistant. I've seen them both now and I've an appointment for next week Thursday, with the warning that if it doesn't get better before that, I'll have to come earlier. And whenever I have questions (and I've had those a couple of times this week) I can call.

It has just taken a while to get everything diagnosed right, and all the medicine for the different ailments attuned, plus I got an unexpected allergic reaction to one of the salves... I think things are now under controle, so the healing process can finally start.

Oh man, losing sleep is the worst! When you don't sleep or don't sleep well it drains all your energy and it has an effect on you physically and mentally. I sure hope your doctor will be able to help you with this!

[alysscarlet.livejournal.com]

This sounds horrible. Are the medications working at all? Can the doctors do more?

Poor you!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

I seem to be on the right medication now, but a lot of damage has been done and I look and feel, well, quite awful to be honest... But it seems like I'm at the lowest point I'm going to get (not the lowest I can get! I don't mean that, it could definitely be worse!) and it's going up now.

*ow*.

*pats you gently*

Thank you, BTW. For several different replies that I will soon reply to. :)

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm not waiting for anything you know! Sometimes when you write an entry and you get reactions you don't always have to reply!

thanks for the gentle patting :D

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh damn! *hugs gently*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D

:( Are you seeing a doctor frequently enough? Getting proper medication? Have you checked into any home remedies or alternative therapies?

*hugs a non-tender area*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

My doctors (there's two of 'm) are great and I've seen and spoken to them frequently (and to their assistent, whom I've known and learn to trust over many years). I'm now on the right medication, but it's taken a while to get there because some of the meds for one thing had a bad effect on the other thing, and I turned out to be allergic to one of the meds...

I'm now at the point where it's not getting worse anymore and can start healing so to speak, so that's good. But well, the skin on my hands and especially my feet is red, raw, spotted or completely gone. It glows and itches and stings and well... I'm feeling rather sorry for myself... I allow myself to be this way for a bit.

Ah, I love being hugged in all the places that aren't tender, and I'm happy to say Mr. D_E does so every opportunity he's got, because I feel so completely unattractive I'm glad he's ignoring it!

[strawberryelfsp.livejournal.com]

That's good. You should take some time to be that way. When you're done, you'll have a bit more strength to get better.

And yet another reason why Mr. D_E rules!

[bunniewabbit.livejournal.com]

Oh, sweetie! Wish I could help! *sends Elwood to apply salve*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Ah! *switches salve for massage oil and offers Elwood all the places that aren't hurting to rub it in*

[nothing_to_say]

meep. That looks creepy. *pets*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

It sure does!

[finduilas-clln.livejournal.com]

:( *points up* What Berry said.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

*points up*

What I said to Berry ;)

[loreley-se.livejournal.com]

Ouch! And here I was hoping that you are better already...Poor seeetheart!

I´d send you Elijah but I know that Mr. D_E is taking good care of everything already :-)

*hugs*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Mr. D_E is wonderful as always but you can send Elijah anyway

[ladybella.livejournal.com]

Man oh man, that really sucks. Get better, darnit! *huggles*

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Thankie :D

*huggles back*

[punkmeanscuddle.livejournal.com]

*reads all of the above*

*frowns*

I hope that everything clear up soon, Jose. I hate to think of you having to endure such discomfort.

*hugs*

[punkmeanscuddle.livejournal.com]

oh, and because I just thought of it. I still have that magazine to mail to you. I didn't forget. Just got sidetracked. Sorry.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oh boy! You know what made me think of that mag? When I got that holiday card! I was wondering who of you would have my snail mail address and then I remembered the mag!

Don't get me started on getting sidetracked... >_<

[tigertale7.livejournal.com]

I hope it doesn't take too much longer to clear up. =(

::continues to send positive, non-itchy thoughts your way::

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Keep sending those thoughts: they're working!! :D

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

:-( *hugs* I hope you don't have to move around too much or put on shoes or anything!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

There's only one pair of shoes (and they're actually sandals...) that fit anymore and I can't wear my watch or my rings. Not even my wedding ring, wah!!!

But things are starting to look better, so I'll just have to be patient a little longer :)

[rane-ab.livejournal.com]

There's only one pair of shoes (and they're actually sandals...) that fit anymore and I can't wear my watch or my rings. Not even my wedding ring, wah!!

Ouch! I tend to walk around bare-footed -- even without allergy -- myself, but not being able to wear your wedding-ring's just... emotional, erm, torture, or something. No fair on top of the physical discomfort.

I'm glad to hear tit's getting better, though. I don't have any skin allergies myself, but I can imagine it must itch like hell.

[lilithlotr.livejournal.com]

God, that sounds awful! My skin is *mostly* not sensitive, so I don't tend to have that sort of problem--just as well, since I'm not sure how I'd EVER deal! Take it easy until you start responding to the treatment.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Well, this is new to me too! And I'm starting to respond to the treatment it seems. It mostly took a while to figure out what the right treatment was, but we're on the right track now :D

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Empathic vibes to d_e. Hope it all settles down soon, love.

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

It seems to be getting better now: must be all the good, emphatic, healing vibes, virtual hugs and careful patting I've been getting here :D
