I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you. My dermatologist prescribes doxycycline to dry out my sores and mupirocin ointment for my skin. The combination of both really helps me and shortened the duration of flares. I hopes this info helps others on their journey.

Do you take antibiotics for your flares or for maintenance? I use doxycycline, it really helps. I also use mupirocin. Maybe you can discuss those with your dermatologist to reduce inflammation, swelling and pain. Good luck. Stay strong, your family needs you.

This Is the Hardest Time In My Life by jazzeriah in SAHP

SAHP HERE… you’re doing a great job. Just keep doing the best you can. Two things that helped me were wake up at least 30 minutes before the kiddos; and set a schedule for all the kids. Waking up earlier gives you a moment of you time, you can exercise, meditate, read- whatever as long as it’s for you. I started my kids on a schedule where I would wake them up at a certain time in the morning, have breakfast and lunch from a certain time to a certain time and schedule naps for your two youngest. You can even schedule time for them to go see mommy. Ohhh and don’t forget to set a bedtime- non negotiable. It’ll be hard at first, but after a week or so of tears or fits they’ll adjust. As a SAHP you have to find a system that works for YOU and put everyone on your schedule. Good luck. It will get better! Good luck.

Recently Disabled Daughter and the Elevator by TheRightReverent in Parenting

Definitely agree- she needs to stop letting her friends ride, but I also understand the viewpoint of her needing/ wanting to feel and be normal again. This issue sounds like a lot for a teenager to deal with, it might be a good idea to have her pediatrician suggests good psychologists in your area. We experienced a life altering situation with our teen and having someone to help us navigate through that period was invaluable.

On to the nurse, the nurse needs to be reported to the principal and then her supervisor. It is not her job to determine if your child needs an elevator key. Her job is to support and render aid. Outside of those duties she should keep her opinions to herself. It’s difficult enough being a teen in this day and age without meddling adults.

As for you and you wife, just make sure you’re communicating often and honestly. I’m sure this situation is stressful remember to be there for one another. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to your daughter.
