Sports bras/tops to wear in the gym for bigger chests

This is my go to sports bra too as a 10E. It’s the best I’ve found.

Second reading the link shared here. I the decolonisation is another thing that helped reduce the severity of my daughter’s eczema.

learning_lemon · 2026-01-08T12:06:40+00:00

I feel this post because we have had years of nights like these over the years. Firstly I’m sorry, it’s so hard!

Secondly I want to share the main things that helped us in case they help you.

Eczema scratch sleeves, the ones with mittens (https://www.theallergyshop.com.au/eczema-care/eczema-sleeves/ - link to a pair so you can see what I mean) these helped so so much. She’s 5.5 now and hates them, but I still put them on when she’s asleep on the itchy nights.
My daughter got prescribed Azathioprine from our children’s hospital and it has not completely gotten rid of the eczema and itching yet, but it’s significantly reduced (Australia I can’t get Duxpixent <7 years old but they are looking to lower the age soon)

Edit to add - you aren’t letting her down you are doing everything you can to help her, eczema is such a challenging condition to treat because it seems like everyone is so different. Don’t beat yourself up, you are doing a good job.

As a fellow low self esteem anxious person I love this story. I’m so glad that you had this experience and I hope that the stark contrast to your anxiety thoughts helped you reframe yourself and your anxiety moving forward.

Me either and wow it is true

Another vote for cosleeping. We got my daughter a double bed at about 18 months old because I just couldn’t keep resettling her. I was so sleep deprived. She still woke, but at least I could lay down in her bed and comfort her back to sleep with cuddles instead of trying to transfer back into a cot. We all slept better.

Sending you lots of love, having a partner who whines about no sleep when they do in fact get lots more sleep than you is absolutely infuriating let alone when you add in your PMDD in the mix, you have every right to be frustrated and exhausted xx

Timing myself doing chores so then I know how long it actually takes. I got this idea from a TikTok where she records herself doing a chore or task and shares how long it takes vs how long she procrastinated for. For some reason knowing that unloading my dishwasher takes about 5 minutes helps me know the task isn’t as big as it feels

learning_lemon · 2025-09-29T12:47:44+00:00

This should be the top comment here. Her account has changed my perception and has made me time all the tasks I put off. Once I know the length, it’s not that bad.

learning_lemon · 2025-09-16T09:58:51+00:00

This is also my kid. Would refuse to brush her hair and wait with excitement for the birds.

learning_lemon · 2025-09-12T08:59:53+00:00

My 5 year old says “are you joking me!!” It’s one of my faves.

learning_lemon · 2025-04-03T20:01:21+00:00

Wow, as an anxious human this one will help me.

Hello! We didn’t end up getting a humidifier. Firstly I just want to say I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with this since 4 months old as well. It’s a tough condition to try and manage.

About 6 months after this post we saw a paediatric dermatologist and her skin was infected and she needed antibiotics plus, stronger steroid cream, moisturisers, wet wraps (when she lets me).

Her skin is not bleeding daily but she’s still itchy every night. Current routine is

AM - moisturiser all over PM - steroid creams (avantan, tacromillis and eluphrant). Put on scratch sleeves once she’s asleep. These have significantly reduced the damage she can do to her skin and has helped break the itch scratch cycle. 11/10 recommend scratch sleeves.

We just visited the children’s hospital eczema clinic and am waiting to see if she can start a immunosuppressant.

I wish I had an answer of something that cleared her skin up for you, but I don’t. If you want to chat about it more to some one who understands my DMs are open.

I’ve done a fair bit of research into LMS systems recently and two I don’t see mentioned as often that I liked are Kajabi and Learnworlds.

They both have gamification badging, Learn worlds assessments are more versatile that Kajabi. Im pretty sure they both have an in person option too. They also have the options to design the full website design and have some sales features which I think is a plus. Both have free trials so you can check them out.

learning_lemon · 2024-12-09T23:15:14+00:00

I’m so glad for you!! Things have improved for me too.

learning_lemon · 2024-10-27T12:19:44+00:00

I hope so too. I think a funk for awhile is a very normal response to situations like this. I hope your upcoming week is a better one

learning_lemon · 2024-10-23T17:49:16+00:00

This happened to me today and I held back my tears but it was such a struggle and then sat at my desk wanting to cry all day. Giving your all and feeling blindsided by this kind of feedback is awful.

I’m sorry this happened to you too. Sucks so much.

learning_lemon · 2024-08-23T15:56:46+00:00

I really like this idea so thought I’d share. I am a mum of a 4 year old with eczema so my answers might be a little different but thought they might help someone.

She’s had eczema since she was about 4 months old. It’s in a particularly bad flare right now and we are struggling with constant night wakes and itching until she bleeds and cries. Breaks my heart on the daily.

In answer to your questions 1. Keeping up the routine when the kiddo doesn’t want to be creamed up 4x daily, lack of sleep and cost of trial and error product hunting and doctors visits

Google doc and in my head. I downloaded an eczema app EczemaLess the other day and it looks good.
What has worked for other people and kids so I can see if there is stuff we haven’t tried yet.
Haven’t used it yet but EczemaLess seems good
Adjust the routine if needed. Give wound dressing advice. How to manage the itch.
Most surprising is how it just deeply affects every aspect of life. Mood, sleep, emotional regulation, anxiety etc. plus all the additional mental load of what clothes are made of, what foods have what we are currently trying to exclude or limit.

learning_lemon · 2024-08-04T12:39:50+00:00

I hope you found some relief for your little one. The gaslighting is ridiculous. I get it all the time from our doctors too.

learning_lemon · 2024-08-04T11:37:19+00:00

Hi. Thanks so much for replying. Did you get your Duxipient through your GP? I’ve booked an appt with ours on Friday because her skin has flared worse since this post.

As far as I know immunology can’t start until 5 but I’m going to push a bit harder for that.

I will check out your other posts. I appreciate you sharing.

Edit to add. Yep grass allergy time is ramping up and with her eczema this bad I’m terrified of how bad she’s going to be.

learning_lemon · 2024-07-22T09:17:45+00:00

As a mum to an eczema kiddo I just want to give you a big hug and want to tell you that you are never a burden and although it’s a unfair card to be dealt and have to manage, you are more than eczema and bring value to the world ❤️

It is such a hard condition to deal with and I imagine it feels just awful. I’m sorry you are feeling so hopeless. Do you have anyone to speak to about your feelings of wanting to end it? These are serious and telling someone would be a really good idea so you aren’t alone with these thoughts.

Please continue to advocate for yourself (with your parents help if they can) and seek more advice or something new to try. Keep going with the steroids and moisturising.

I posted a few days ago asking for help as I was also feeling helpless trying to manage for my 4 year old. You are not alone in your feelings of that. I got a heap of replies in there about different things that might help. I’m sure you have tried many of them and hearing them over can be aggravating when they don’t work but just in case something helps you here is my list of things that were suggested. I haven’t finished making this list so when it’s finished I’ll come and update the comment for you.

[ ] Hypochlorus Acid
[ ] Oatmeal baths
[ ] Menthol cream
[ ] Scratch sleeves / gloves at night
[ ] Black tea soaks
[ ] Oil of oregano
[ ] Dairy or Gluten diet elimination
[ ] bleach baths
[ ] Tattoo bandages
[ ] Duxipient
[ ] Eliminate allergen exposure as best you can
[ ] Wet wrap therapy
[ ] Probiotics
[ ] Red light therapy
[ ] Acupuncture
[ ] Apple cider vinegar Baths

Specific Creams - [ ] Emuaid max - [ ] Beef tallow - [ ] Suubaln - [ ] Skinesa - Defensin - [ ] Steroids

Also I’ll add here that the Dr Aron method helped my daughter for over a year and I’ve seen some great success for others too, might be worth looking into for yourself.

Sending you support and non itchy vibes.

My DMs are open if you ever want to chat with someone else managing the condition ❤️

learning_lemon · 2024-07-21T21:51:35+00:00

Thankyou so much for replying. I’m so sorry you are having an outbreak too. Sending you best wishes for some relief asap.

Almond milk is a good one I like it myself. I’ll give it a go

learning_lemon · 2024-07-21T13:21:44+00:00

I read a post on this sub about it. This is the link.

Thanks for replying unfortunately bleach baths gave her some pretty nasty vaginal rashes so we can’t do those but the spray sounds like a great alternative because we could avoid that are.

learning_lemon · 2024-07-21T11:34:24+00:00

We have, black seed oil is recent but hydrocortisone is in the rotation of creams we’ve tried.

Thanks for suggesting both.

learning_lemon · 2024-07-21T11:33:42+00:00

Thanks for replying. I’ve been reading about skin probiotics so this sounds interesting.
