DAY THIRTY-TWO

Yay, feeling much better today  Last night was itchy again but the skin is way less red. The only real itchy parts are my lower back, shins and head. Calamine before cream is working a treat.

My skin is a little scaly and dry but I prefer that to the red bumps I had. I always find my skin looks and feels a lot better in the morning, maybe because I’ve been wrapped in a tight little cocoon all night, away from exposure to anything my body doesn’t like. By evening, I’m always twice as itchy and counting down the minutes until I can put on my last application and go to bed.

I’m still on 5 apps a day but have had a few days here and there of 4 apps where work commitments have meant I haven’t been able to fit all of them in.

Putting on cream at work is mostly a non-issue, but I am always conscious that it takes 15 minutes out of my day each time and I have to hog the loo. The toilet is right next to the CEO’s office and I’d be surprised if he didn’t think I had some sort of bowel problem… As for ‘wasting’ company time, this is by far the better option when you consider that just before I found Dr Aron I’d been booked in for a consultation for light therapy in a hospital 45 minutes away from my office.

I’ve also mastered putting on cream in the passenger seat of a car which has been extremely handy…
