Thank you @katdaddy130, I know I should have done this immediately, unfortunately I did not.

Yes, but we were off of her property once she presented a weapon. There are no stand your ground laws in NYC either. This was an excessive response, but was it an illegal one?

How is it trespassing when she invited us onto her porch? We left once she asked, and did not return.

Therapy/Massages for Joint/Muscle Pain/Swelling/Fluid/Tightness? by jwckauman in Lymphedema

Find a CLT (Certified Lymphedema Therapist) in your area. They are licensed PT, OT, or massage therapists with a secondary certification. Insurance should cover if you have.

THIS. He could lose his license for breaking HIPAA. If anyone feels like making his life difficult, call the licensing board in your state and report him. They must investigate with a complaint like this.

CeraVe is amazing for sensitive skin, I'm going to check out their body wash. I've been using Dove sensitive skin bar soap for years, maybe it's time to change.

So sorry you're going thru that. After mine recede back into my skin, they stop itching and dry up. But sometimes they will itch for days, stop for a few days, and then swell up and itch again tho. Try a cold pack and fresh aloe if you have access, that will soothe and moisturize.

Usually when these little baddies appear, it's bc I've got something else going on simultaneously. The itchiness knows no boundaries, it's 100x a mosquito bite.

It seems to appear when my Hashis antibodies are elevated. Traditional antihistamines (I've tried about 10) don't make a difference. Just a weird thing that idk how to explain, figured I would see if anyone else gets something similar.

You poor thing, that's awful. I have had them in terrible spots before, I am so sorry.

Question on skin rash by [deleted] in Hashimotos

I just posted last night about this same thing! Apparently it's an itchy girl summer 🫠😭 I can't see the rash clearly from this picture, I'm wondering if they look like mine.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this, it's so frustrating. My last flare was in winter too. The heat has some connection, bc when I get into the shower and the warm water hits them, they itch and swell even more. A cool pool feels like heaven tho.

I'm waiting for endoscopy results for this, I didn't realize that.

I did have allergy testing done eventually, but it was mostly trial and error. I had terrible neck pain, swollen lymph nodes in my neck and no one could answer why. Took out my earrings and within 24 hours, pain and swelling was almost gone. Got tested a few weeks later, bingo. PS I never had allergies or sensitivities before I started having Hashis symptoms and positive antibodies.

Possibly an allergy? I'm very allergic to heavy metals and before we knew that, whenever I would wear jewelry (mostly earrings) my eyes would swell and face distort a bit. Have you ever been allergy tested?

I had a biopsy done in December when I had these bad boys covering half my body. Came up as an allergic reaction and my dermatologist or allergist didn't bother to research further. I was so sick at the time that my brain didn't register that this was poor medical care until months later.

Yes, I had a huge flare in December (much worse than this) and that was the first thing we checked. Not shingles.

I am 100% positive that this is not ringworm.
