Month 10

(12/1/2014 -12/31/2014)   
(Day 276- Day 305)


Month 10 was nice.  Still flaring and some thick skin days, but had some WODERFUL days and was able to do everything I wanted.   Didn't miss one single holiday!


The wedding was amazing!  And the first day was great in Wisconsin, but the FREEZING dry air eventually turned me into a DESERT!

Well, I am finally getting a break!!  Skin feels the best it's felt since this whole thing began!    FINALLY!

Skin is still itchy sometimes and I have tiny flares, but the skin is soft and small flakes!  NO significant flakes coming off.  No more tweezers for now.

Day 283

283


So the goods have been great. Been living life and looked and felt the most normal I've looked and felt since this whole mess started. It's felt great to be a girl again. Even went makeup and clothes shopping. I started getting really sick from a respiratory virus and flared from being sick and eating some Coke Gummies. But was able to cover up with makeup and look totally normal. Finally, in the next post you'll see, I gave into the flare and just rested. But that's the next post. For now, the ups and downs of my current days.

Day 297

Just used water in the nebulizer to loosen up my lungs.  

I liked Month 10. Even though the end wasn't spectacular, there was no oozing and I have energy to do things. The cold really kicked my butt and so did the candy flare, but for the most part it's not stopping me from living.

I was SO itchy the whole ride home and was super inflamed after washing my face.
