recovering from travel, not recovering from skin condition

[amw]

I was planning to write some kind of nice summary post this weekend, which is a long weekend in Taiwan for 中秋節 Mid-Autumn Festival. But then last night i got drunk and the queen dying got me on a musical tangent and i posted some nonsense here at like 3am or some stupid hour

I so hope you'll finally get help! Irritated skin is hell in a basket.

I am glad you are back so you can attack this rash thing. What a mess. Cool to see you in a full length photo. I always forget how tall and cool looking you are. Iconic! 😎

Get that skin shit handled.

I am suffering here.

You sound great, though.

Brotchen in French is petit pain. Hope you get some answers soon on that rash.

Aha! I remember seeing those signs for "petit pain" and i just thought it meant little breads. Which, to be fair, is also what brötchen means, but maybe it just didn't twig in my brain.

I’m trying to think of any times I had weird rash and itches, and recall of one time, though I doubt that’s your case.

My mom got a new water filter machine (Kangen Water) and we were told to slowly build up our tolerance to drink alkaline water. Everyone BUT me was able to drink the alkaline water. I got this weird rashes in all my extremities and back and it itched like hell. At first I thought it was because I brought out some old moldy clothes that I didn’t wash well but later I went on a 2-day trip with a friend and wasn’t home, so didn’t drink that alkaline water, and I got well.

I doubt that’s happening with you but I remembered this story and maybe you can think if there’s any subtle changes in food and such? But it’s literally from Canada to Taiwan to Swiss and back to Taiwan and nothing seems to have changed for you!

Yeah, i feel like if it was an allergy to something, it should have at least changed in degree somewhat over the past 6-7 weeks. But it seems to be rather consistently annoying and (now) all over my body, so i'm not sure. Perhaps i should sterilize my water bottles, though. I have been carrying the same ones all over the world for the past year or more, and it's only now i have my own house again that i have a kettle to boil water in. (Couldn't believe when i stayed with my friend in Canada and she didn't have one - she just used microwave. Wut!?)
