cycles

I have been feeling way too bad about everything to post the past week, I was an itchy rashy mess. I don't think I will ever take prednisone again if all my symptoms come back with a vengeance. I look a bit better today with my ointments and benadryl but it's strange that on the bad days no amount of oinment and benadryl helps. It's like my skin is in a cycle and it doesn't matter what I do it will be hell for a few days and then I get a couple of days off and then it starts up again. It also seems to be affected by my menstrual patterns in addition to the rest of the bad days (like just before my period I get an extra painful face, neck and chest rash).

It didn't help matters that I had some milk in my coffee, I found grass fed milk at our whole foods and I've heard some people don't react with the same milk allergies to grass fed milk. I was wrong and even a bit made my face red, bumpy and itchy. I know it should have been common sense but I love milk in my coffee so much I was just hoping.
