I'm having a day...

[femkes_follies]

Amongst my reasons for skipping Border War today is the fact that I've got a strange vesicular rash over some of my joints. It's odd - true blister-like vesicles. And only over the jts - knees, elbows, knuckles. Not sure if it's an allergic reaction, viral, or something weird and auto-immune. But I'll stay home and not spread it around in case.

Cortisone cream is helpful, but apparently my subconscious thinks the best way to take my mind off it is to submerge a finger in boiling water so I have a burn to concentrate on, instead.

Rori is angling on toward nap time. Too bad I can't convince Anneliese to do the same, as I wouldn't mind one myself. *sigh*

Are they tiny little dot sized water blisters? That then come to the surface and swell before popping? Then you've got a horrible red itching rash?

I had that all through college on my hands, after having excema all through my childhood. I've since learned that its what I get when I eat gluten, here are pictures.

I use "Butt Paste" baby diaper rash lotion on it, and it reduces the itching and helps the healing.

Well, nothing ruptured as yet. They tend to just flat regress.

Though the baby has little red marks all over the soles of her feet. I starting to suspect maybe Fifth's Disease or something like it.

Or, knowing my luck, Lupus.

Hey, can I pick your brain at some point on the regionality of waffenrock styles? Is there a difference between "Landsknecht" (sp?) and say, Bavarian, or Saxony, or such?

The hubs wants something new to fight in. Something not seen in our neck of the woods as a general rule. Something that his existing stainless kit can sort of be absorbed into. Besides, I'm so not into kampfrau.

Thoughts?
