Benadryl is my main drug now due to the internal itching. I remember hearing before........itching is healing...so will accept this notion. The pain is small and when uncomfortable usually is managed by a small dose of pain medication. My skin on the left side of my back is super sensitive to clothes touching and even the smallest bumps when moving around in my chair. I spend more time then I like laying down, but for some reason this eases the irritation by doing so. I need a good topical soothing cream.
My left elbow got a sheet rash when this first happened and still hurts as bad as the itching, so several times a day I smear bag balm on it. A sore elbow makes being comfortable laying down......AWFUL....I know I will sleep better when it no longer jerks me awake at night when touched. I hate being......out of whack.....and continuously talking about it.....but shingles hurt and for me worse since my original problem is the nerve condition caused by the Peripheral Neuropathy. It could be worse.
My son wants to buy pizza and rent a movie Friday to make up for the lost Mother Day. I think by then I can handle sitting up for a couple hours.
Still not ready to take the boat out...I need a fun day....I need to be on the boat. Another thing that sucks about not having physical abilities or limit ones......wishing and hoping doesn't get it done......I know though this will pass and one day I will write about boating....until then feel free to send wishes.......if you're out there.
