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*

stress will cause me to have the same reaction on the soles of my feet. You've been under a bit of that lately, so it's not surprizing.

Relax today. Mum tells me to do the same, feet and a weather related migraine are contributing to my sensitive mood.

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.

too much education gets you to believe it is something more. Probably heat rash, the non red one. I get that from time to time. Annoying...yes.
