Following Alice’s review with her homeopath on Monday, we received the remedy in the post on Wednesday. Elaine has decided to repeat the first remedy and enclosed two more tablets of psor. She thinks Alice is holding her own quite nicely without the steroids and that a repeat of the remedy may bring further improvement. Alice took the two doses yesterday.
Last night she was troubled the most by her skin since we stopped applying steroid ointments one month ago. Although a reaction is expected to the remedy, I don’t think it is expected so soon. She has a bit of a cold and cough and it is bitterly cold out at the moment so I think these might be the main contributors to the decline in her skin condition. I have been experimenting with different natural creams and I think she was doing better with Bria Organic Balm. I bought it online and the jar is now finished and I’ve been trying out Seven Cream for now while waiting on more Bria to arrive. Seven Cream and her usual Aveeno cream seem to be causing irritation after application in the evening these past few days.
At the moment, her right wrist is not good, her eyelids and below her eyes are red, dry and sore looking. All the way around her neck is very red and dry. Her neck is a new area, flaring for the first time in the last week or two. Her back doesn’t look too bad, but is bothering her. Last night I ended up taking her into bed with me as she kept waking up scratching. Until now her sleep hadn’t really been disrupted.
So that’s just an update on her current skin condition that I will hopefully look back on in a months time and be relieved as we have gotten through it and she will be in a healing phase. Please let the Bria Balm arrive tomorrow!
