Hanging in there!

Heard back from the Acupuncture Herbalist and I have an appt on Feb 4!!!

Inner legs still tender, but I think the Cosentyx and reduced dose of acitretin are doing their thing as I am no longer suffering from the white hot pain the way I was, I still have major discomfort but nothing like before, skin super tight around the knees, thighs and ankles.

Laying low as to not agitate legs

Starting a low inflammation diet on Monday, to try to improve legs

Also last night one of my plastic booties slipped half way off, bot oh boy, that ankle and 1/2 foot were so dry and peeling!

Pics under pain diagram, not for the faint of heart


This is how my arms look after sleeping, as you can see the wrap (stretch tite) has shrunk down past elbow and exposed skin which causes dryness (ointment rubbed off on long sleeve T) and discomfort


As mentioned above here is a visual of the tightness on the knees

 Inner thigh inflammation and tenderness

 The wrap prevents the skin from drying up, see upper calf and ankle area with flakiness
 Hands are still peeling, this does not hurt, just looks painful, just uncomfortable

 Not at all excited about the thickening of my nails, this is a side effect of the disease, also note, no cuticles, that is another side effect

March 5 Hey All So much progress that I had to post. Things are getting better, I am walking again with sweats on, [meaning no more skirts to protect my leg skin]. I was able to get to the market a couple of times this week!! Fatigue is starting to dwindle and I am getting back to normal energy levels [thank GOD]. Still have a ways to go to normalcy, BUT this is HUGE.  Eyebrows are growing back same with eyelashes!!! I am looking so forward to remission that I could spit! I'm well on the way!! Torso shedding like crazy Hands and feet still wrapped daily, but Im told those are the last to heal Leg pain at a Minimum Continuing clean eating, no processed foods at all, 100% fresh, 100% Mediterranean, homemade everything, even pasta! Skin still pink, but that is better than RED OR PURPLE!!!! Continue the prayers and good wishes!!

Happy Friday! New Post layout

Image
Happy Friday, here is the new post for the prior week, not to worry if something comes up mid week I'll post as usual- This has been a week of ups and downs, but ending on an "up", feeling better after having a rough Tuesday and Wednesday, lots of inner leg pain, due to running around to 2 appts, leg skin just did not appreciate all of the movement, so I took it very easy Weds and Thurs and it paid off. Today is Friday and I am back to a 4-5 in pain which is better that the 8.5 that I had earlier in the week. I think the turnaround has to do with a few things: The Chinese Herbal Tea I am taking No Tylenol, just ibuprofen (body had to get used to that)  Combination of Acitretin and Consentyx Mediterranean Diet Here is last week's log: Date Pain Threshold (1-10) Pain Notes   Diet Notes Dr Appts or Medicine Notes Other Notes 1/31/2020 Fri 4 Costentyx Shot # 3 2/1/2020 Sat 4 2/2/2020 Sun 5 2/3/2

I am hoping this is more permanent, however I know this is cyclical, so I am ready just in case!

Back to Work!!!

Image
Well, this was my first week back at work, remotely, but still work, lots of Zoom meetings (for those that don't know Zoom is video conferencing) and collaboration. It was challenging resetting to get ready in the AM, as getting ready with this condition is ALOT maintenance, showering, ointment application, dressing, making sure my face, head and neck don't have flakes of skin, ears too, it takes a while and I am still quite red! So I nailed that process by Thursday by waking by 6 and ready to work by 9am and all of this with feeding Magoo and spending time with him. On Wednesday, I was tired and my eyes were red and I was itchy (I'll take the itch instead of the awful pain that I was in), and for a nano second, I doubted my decision to return to work, but I prayed and kept on going and charged through the week. Guess what?!?!? I made it!!! I'm so happy that I am working again and had to set myself up in my spare bedroom as an office as Magoo likes to bark at the UPS, A

And So It Begins . . . .

Image
Noticed a rash on the top of my head and beginning to move to my face, attributed this to allergic reaction to Halloween Makeup, made appt to see Dr Cheng raised bumps on head and cheeks start to appear and are quite itchy * just a note of caution, while I strive to maintain decorum, there may be images and language that is of adult nature *

New Week New Hopes!

Image
I start my week on Fridays as that is the day I have to inject myself with Cosentyx. Last evening was my third weekly dose, so I am hopeful that this week, my PRP symptoms continue to decrease. The self injections are getting easier and easier, but still a bit freaky. My nails are continuing to thicken, hands and feet skin becoming waxy. As mentioned in a previous post I wear booties on feet under socks and nitrile gloves on hands in order to prevent cracking and bleeding (ugh). I have a huge crack on my left foot, big toe crease above the ball of my foot and need to apply antibiotic ointment daily~ This weekend is a very dear friend's 50th birthday celebration in Las Vegas, which I was unable to attend due to my "lovely" temporary overbearing "partner" named PRP. I wish my friend that happiest of milestone birthdays!! I also wish that this PRP goes into remission sooner than later so I can be part of celebrations and everyday life. Anyway, onto week three

Hunka hunka burning!!!! Woweeeeee!!!!

Image
Wow there was alot of burning happening last night and not the kind I like! Backs of legs were white hot on fire! Changed 3x to get into something comfortable, clothing just irritated the skin, so I settle for a super large pair of sweat shorts, phew! Diagram shows concentration of pain and scaling and itchiness. Other than this I feel fine, but I can't imagine getting up, showering, applying ointment, getting dressed, driving to the ferry, taking the ferry ride, walking to the office, working for 8 hours the repeat on the way back and that would not even account for applying ointments mid day etc. Too much to even think about especially waking up with burning legs! WHEW!!!! I await stabilization! Aside from the backs of legs the front and back elbows are pretty raw and burning today so I'll have to manage that- Face woke up puffy and scaly with lots of eye goop. Had to wrap arms and calves to make sure ointment stays on skin, back of legs unable to be wrapped as gravity pu

Better and Better!

Image
March 13 First off, thanks for all the TEXTS, CARDS, PHONE CALLS and SOCIAL MEDIA LOVE!!! As I mentioned on my off cycle post, things are looking up, less pain is always welcome!! I am now battling shedding like crazy which is "fine dried skin flakes" as this does not hurt but it's itchy! I am approaching a stage in this disease which is stabilization and I have been looking forward to this for months!!! I am getting acupuncture 2x per week taking my Chinese herbs daily and seeing my dermatologist as well. Work has been so understanding, but i do look forward to going back soon! I am getting back to a normal color. I still have to wear gloves and wrap my feet as these extremities are prone to super dryness and cracking so I have to be aware of those potential effects and manage daily- Legs are going through a metamorphosis as the skin is leathery and inner leg skin is healing nicely with manageable pain there- Torso is continuing to shed very fine (almost dust l
