This week was all over the map, two steps forward, one step back, and all those other mixed metaphors. I can see the healing, but it once again felt non-linear from one day to the next. So while things are improving, I’m still having:
- Very bad sleep
- Weepy, gross ooze
- Fiery skin
- Red rashy bumps
- Nerve stinging on the back of my hand that keeps me awake some nights
- Dry flaking skin
This ordeal is kind of kicking my butt, I must admit. At first I was all peppy and like, no problem. Now I’m like, okay, wow, this is ridiculous, and it might go on for a while. Oy!
The bright spot in this week was one night of good sleep and discovering Domeboro. Wow. You should all run out and by some. Basically, it’s an astringent and it really dries out the weepiness and little blisters. I’ve been soaking a washcloth in it and then using it as a compress for fifteen minutes twice a day on my chest and neck.
Uh huh! Buy me!
And here’s a pic I just took:
It looks redder, but actually feels better than last week.
