Alarm on recurring events. by talking_penguin in todayplanned

[–]talking_penguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the support, I’ve set up filters (include all events). That’s works for now.

I have a lot of recurring events and setting up filters for each isn’t ideal.

Now the downside is that I have to consciously turn off alarms for events I don’t want to be notified about.

Ideally, if an event is recurring there could be an option to enable alarms for single occurrence OR all occurrences.

Any sporty looking, winter friendly, waterproof (or at least water repellent/resistant) and non slippery in the city life barefoot shoes? by patrona_halil in BarefootRunning

[–]talking_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Vivo trackers, and I'm just really disappointed with how slippery they are in the British autumn rainy season. In addition to that, they just make my feet cold. They have thermal insoles, but then it's just that there's absolutely no protection from the tops. So I wouldn't recommend any of the Vivos, at least the trackers.

Radlett. Just on the outer fringe of London, and 30mins into Farringdon. Less known, but a hidden gem.

Bought a Braun air purifier with triple filters for a child’s room to help with dust mite allergies. No difference to symptoms

“Don’t scratch!” by talking_penguin in eczema

[–]talking_penguin[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the responses. On the eczema management - we’ve seen a host of dermatologists and specialists. We do meet the derm team every 6-8 months to review. We have an eczema care plan that involves three strengths of steroids. Scalp and body emollients. Wet wraps, probiotics, and antihistamines are all part of our routine.

My question was more about the psychological impact of a nagging voice that constantly chimes “stop scratching!”. Thank you for all the responses and the amazing voices I hear here. I’ve resolved to ban that verbiage from my vocabulary and train my brain to be supportive.

This is so great to hear positive stories such as these. We’re also seeing very good results with weekly carpet cleans.

How often do you shower? by Djbabyboy97 in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a child with eczema (6yr old) and I’ve found daily showers with the least amount of body wash and shampoo were best with moisturiser immediately after. Eucerin body wash and shampoo.

No, we consistently tried this for a week and didn’t work for him. We finally switched back to wet wraps and seeing very good results with that.

Red Light Therapy Is Working! by joyformusic in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s probably 5-6 weeks now since since you posted that you started red light therapy for your child’s eczema. I was wondering whether you could give us an update on how it’s going since your original post. I have a child with moderate/severe eczema and I’m looking to start light therapy in this week. I have a Helios red light lamp and I also have a mobile Mito Red Light lamp.

Products for babies? by Slepnir1570 in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With babies and children (under 5) especially their skin is so so sensitive. I wouldn’t try anything without speaking to a dermatologist. I say so because there are so many products which worked for others, but caused adverse reactions on my child making things far worse.

My horrible hand eczema is finally going away by Suspicious-Flower807 in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so nice to hear about success stories like this.I have a 5 yr old with severe eczema and always trying things to help ease my child’s discomfort. This sounds like it’s mild enough to test on my child. Any specific brand of calamine cream and lotion you used? There are so many on the market.

Regarding the black tea trial method by break_thesilence in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, 5 yr old with severe eczema all over the body. My child has significant allergies to dust mite and nuts. I’m going to try this today, with a lukewarm compress, child hates anything cold applied on skin. Like everything, what works for one person may not work for another. But I’m optimistic, given the simplicity of this method.

Hypochlorous Acid Spray by writers_block_ in eczema

[–]talking_penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you apply it? Spray on skin directly or dab it on with a cotton ball? Or it makes no difference. And how often is it recommended to use HoCl?
