So sorry to hear about wats been going on big hugs xxxx

Hey Emma, I can't say I am super excited right now, but I am getting there lol (when you have 16 grandkids already the shine goes a bit till they are actually born) but I know by the time they arrive I will be ....got Kirsty's baby shower organised for the 10th November so that's helping lol although it's costing a bloody fortune
Sooner or later my skin will calm down but right now I am in the middle of a bad bout, hopefully it will die down soon xxx:hug99:xxx

I wish there was something I could do to help you hun. Drop me a note of you email address and I'll send you something I got sent. Don't know if it would interest you but who knows. :hug99::hug99::hug99:

Hello lovely Patsy, hunni you couldn't do more than you already are, you are a great support and that's all I can ask of you so :thankyou: sweetie ....I looked at the email ..read it from cover to cover...I will be discussing it with my dermatologist, I feel there are some very valid points but after 40 years of spending on goods that don't work I am a little loathe to spend more...but the one very interesting factor is the gluten free diet, something that has been mentioned before and which I think could be a key factor. My brother has a lot of allergies and I never knew this until a few months ago but he is on a gluten free diet and I would like to discuss with him what exactly that means .....I have always believed that my skin problems may have a lot to do with my diet...and I have discussed that very thing but only briefly, with my brother...I will get back to you and let you know what I find out and what I end up doing, thank you again for all your support hun I truly appreciate it xxx:hug99:xxx

Thank you for posting lily. Hope things get better ASAP for you x

Aww thank you Kath, it's always nice to be able to actually use my hands and be able to post, sounds stupid but sometimes they are just too sore and stiff and achey to even think about it xxx:hug99:xxx
 
Hello lovelies, well I had a really bad nights sleep, awake till 6 and up at just gone 8...while my hands and feet look better they are itching like mad and antihistamines don't seem to be working today....I am itching everywhere and it's driving me insane...I am trying not to scratch,not always successfully, but instead have a cold damp flannel that I hold over the area that's itching, which at the moment doesn't seem to be much help, I also feel very hot ...if you saw how I am dressed you'd think it was middle of the summer and close on 30 degrees lol
I am gutted that my skin hasn't improved as I was supposed to be going to the Baby Show at Earls Court this weekend with my girls, Mal and Mark and now Kelsi is going in my place...I really thought that I would be able to do it this year, which is why we bought the tickets in advance, but alas even if my feet improve immensely by Saturday, I don't think they will be good enough to get around the show all day even if I bandaged them, so instead I am babysitting Jack my youngest grandson..oh well maybe next year, but would have been so nice to go with both girls being pregnant, that's not likely to happen again :cry:

Still enough about my bad times .....I seem to be the bearer of bad news all the time so time to lighten up me thinks !!!!

Yesterday's wi and loss of 3.5lbs has given me a good kick up the backside...I thought I'd had an awful week, (feeling sorry for myself) and had eaten chocolate and cake and lots more bread than norm, but when I look back it wasn't that bad and the rest of the time I had eaten really well and loads and I mean loads of veg and a lot less meat...so maybe that's the way forwards.....we aren't a huge meat eating family anyways....yes we eat meat almost everyday but in small quantities....between 4 of us, depending on what we are cooking we will have for instance, 2 or 3 breasts of chicken and 1 chop each, a biggish meat joint will do 2 to 3 meals and even sandwiches on top lol, so we have decided to start with just once a week have a meat free day and see how we get on, it's not because we don't like the taste or have any reasons for not eating meat other than it's more exciting trying out new vegs rather than eating the same meats over and over...so Sunday is our meat free day, Kirsty is cooking a Leek Lasagne and we have decided that every 4 weeks we will all take a turn at devising and making a meat free meal ...no meat substitutes like quorn or the likes either ...going to be interesting this lol
I am going to pop off now as I have a major amount of Baby Shower Planning to do, have just made the invites and am now ready to print and have started to order decorations and Kelly has sorted cupcakes, so now to planning the food...SW friendly of course...have a great day all...I will try and catch up as soon as I can TTFN xxx:hug99:xxx
 
Well done on the loss lovely Lily and hope your skin improves soon. All the best with the baby shower. :D Glad the email got you thinking but it just seemed fated that I got it sent just when you had an outbreak. She has a website with a bit more detail and a 4 day test run if you're interested but I am the same as you about shelling out for something else even if it is only £30 odd. :D
 
well done on the loss. Hope you get better soon. :bighug:
 
Well done on the loss Lily, I bet it was a lovely surprise when you got on the scales. So sorry to hear your skin is playing up again, really hope it improves soon. Have you got any plans with your grandson for while the others are are at the show? I'm so disappointed for you not being able to go :bighug:
 
Hello my lovelies, not been on cos I am sick of being the bearer of bad news or moaning as Mal calls it lol....Patsy to answer your question hun,my skin is bad ...my feet have recovered quite well at long last, they aren't perfect, far from it, about 80% there and I really can't hope for much more than that right now, but now as they recover, my hands have taken a turn for the worse again, I am still on my full dose of steroids which is making everything sore and peeling too....thankfully I have a date with my specialist on the 14th, I rang her Friday after everything got so bad and got on top of me and we discussed my options which are very limited, not sure I really want to take the next step....I do think if things were better between me and Mal it might die off a bit, but that seems to be going nowhere too, we are both sick of this now and it's making us argue more and that in turns causes the stress that sets off the psoriasis again...vicious circle. We have decided to have a good chat and see what we can work out....I want him out of my hair more and he wants to be here worrying over me but I seriously need my space, really don't want to feel stifled and I do ...so we need to find things for him to do to get him out from under my feet at least a couple of days a week and then I won't have to kill him lol

Anyways enough of my moaning, just 5 weeks left till my grandbaby is here and I am getting very excited now, Kelly and I have been organising the baby shower which is on the 10th November, unfortunately my little house isn't big enough to hold 30+ people so my brother and sister in law have kindly allowed us to host it at theirs, can't wait.
Another busy time for me ...we are off to Kirsty's in laws this weekend to a fireworks party and bonding session lol, then the following weekend is the baby shower and then following weekend all the big birthdays, Marks. Kelly's and Jacks. then 2 weeks later our anniversary and that's without all the less important birthdays (not immediate family) :argh: I hate November lol

Hope you're all keeping well...hope to be back as soon as my hands let me ...has taken me over an hour to type this as I have to stop cos I keep getting cramp in my fingers...damn it!!! TTFN and cya soon xxx:hug99:xxx

P.S. I gained half a pound last night which is kind of what I expect being on the steroids, so I am happy with that and am literally just trying to keep this hunger at bay xxx

:bighug: I hate steroids, my mum swells up like crazy on them, so to have only put on half a pound is really good going Lily xx
