Oh hon. :(

I don't think i've ever seen an entry on this from you before. I'm sorry you have to go through it, sounds like a very unpleasant experience.

I know the Spoon Theory all too well and use it when explaining my own conditions.

Here's to quick healing!

Check my "skin" tag for more entries on it. I've been in remission the last few years, so the flare-ups aren't all that bad or frequent, but they still happen. This is actually one of the worst I've ever had (but I'm recovering) so I definitely need to find me a new derm, and maybe try Remicade again.

i didn't realize before it was this bad. i'm ashamed to say i thought i "understood". i'm going to pray for you.

Thankfully I've been in remission for a few years, since I had the Remicade treatments. It does seem to be returning to the previous level however, so when I find me a new derm I'm going to ask about considering more treatments.

sorry you're going through that - it sounds horrible :(
