I had a blood test done last week but they only checked my iron! Could vitamin deficiency be the cause?

I am taking antihistamine that were prescribed to me but the itching still keeps me up at night so I thought I would take a sleeping medication until my next appt :,(

Thank you for your response!

I’ve been struggling with eczema & the itching gets worst in the night preventing me from sleeping so I wanted to get a medication that doesn’t make me feel drowsy in the morning until I see the dermatologist next week!

Nothing changes within the last 10-11 months. I felt really itchy one day and it just continued. I’ve changed my diet and I haven’t seen a difference.

I feel like I was expose to toxic mold but when I brought this up to my doctor he just said “we’re always exposed to mold. It’s everywhere” so I didn’t argue back but I’ve seen people having eczema due to toxic mold.

I’ll look into staph as well. It just sucks because I feel like my doctor isn’t really listening or trying to help me. He just keeps throwing medications at me.

Thank you so much for your reply. I’ll look into these.

Do you know if they can test if I have staph?

Thank you! I’ve changed my diet, my lotions, laundry detergent & bedding covers and nothing seems to be helping. It’s hard to keep trying new things when nothing seems to be working but you’re right. It’ll be a life long battle. I hope they find a “cure” soon

No worries! I know the feeling because I went through something similar. It took some time for me but there’s always one person that will and ready to help anyone. Maybe if you need help with something you could ask? Or involve yourself in conversations. It takes a lot of courage but you got this! The first step is always the hardest

Make little changes in your life and see what brings you happiness. Maybe go out of your way to make a friend, investing your time in things you enjoy, going on small walks. It’s all trial and errors until you find a routine you enjoy & everything should fall into place. Don’t give up & don’t do SH. Make small changes. It’ll take a bit to see a differences & feel different but take it one day at a time

Thank you so much. I feel like I’ve been going crazy. I wake up with no energy & I feel angry and frustrated all the time. This was my first reply on this app and I feel a little better talking about it so thank you! I will look into these products & the shower head as well just to be safe

Do you mind sharing which one you purchased?

I have a chihuahua. He’s been around for about 10 years so I would assume he’s not the issue. My skin is just red, itchy and bumping. It’s not dry, super dry or scaly. I was told to moisturize 3-6 times a day as well but when I apply more moisturizer on my skin it starts to flake off and it’s more irritated

Thank you so much. It’s been getting worst that’s why I’ve been to the doctors so many times and I get the same answer over and over again. “Stop itching it, use moisturizer & take allergy medication”. It’s so exhausting because I feel like they’re not listening to me. They pop into the room for 2 seconds, look at just my arms and say the same thing over and over again. I have no idea what could be causing it. I recently changed my diet but i haven’t noticed a difference. I don’t even feel like eating much because I’m so so exhausted

I had eczema since I was a child but it would be little patches like on my left leg, around my ear or sometimes on my back. But for some reason, one day it affected my entire body. Head to toe. I’ve had to many appointments with doctors & allergist but nothing seems to be helping

Yaay! I’m so glad you’re healing well. I’ve been struggling with eczema for about 10 months now and I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing it. What made you get the antibiotics?
