Many of you have asked how my skin is doing. It's been 3 days since I went to the dermatologist. My skin feels soooooo much better! I can't even begin to tell you how well I've slept the past few nights.
I really hope these miraculous results are from using all the free and clear soaps/lotions and not just the steroids. The topical steroid is super strong stuff. A little lip gloss sized tube is like $60. And the shot is way more potent then the prednisone pills. I really hate the way it makes me feel. The side effects are awful. I can't believe this is my third round this year and it's not even April. This shot has really effected me emotionally. The past 72 hours I have been SO ANGRY! I normally don't have a hot temper, but it is taking all of my will power not to cry/yell/scream every five minutes. My blood is just boiling! We ran into a lady from my twin prego class at Meier the other day and I just wanted to punch her husband. I guess I should explain... all their kids look like little boys, even the twins. But they are in fact girls. Well her husband came over to look at our twins and very mattery-of-factly said "Are these boys or girls? I can't tell." I don't know why it bothered me so much (well, I do, the prednisone). But also if he had taken like 5 milliseconds to actually look at the girls he could have figured out from the pink helmets, hot pink carseat covers, and bows on their heads that they are little ladies. Then he went on to tell me how his wife gained a ton of weight when she was prego with her twins, especially in her legs. Grrr! *punch* I hate the way this feels. But I love that my skin is finally clearing up!
I can't wait for my patch sticker tests and skin biopsy results. I've been living in fear of all soaps and lotions for the past few days.

Hooray! Now, may I suggest a kickboxing class? Work out some anger. Just don't shower with soap afterwards. P.S. I hope this comment wasn't offensive. ;) You look great!
YAY! I'm glad it is feeling better. You are certainly looking much better!
As for the anger, you sound like you're managing it beautifully. Hang in there!
WOW- what a remarkable difference. I too hope it is the soaps and not just the shot. Can't have you being angry all the time. Sometimes I felt my family members were in mortal danger (at the wrong time of the month if you know what I mean). That was when I would take a walk as soon as Paul got home. Couldn't even talk to anyone; just had to walk it off. Love the other posts with the truck, snow blowing and escapades with crayons.
I might've punched him, even without the predisone.
I'm so glad you're making progress and at least feeling better. Hopefully it's just the soaps and now you will be safe and sound!
