MDJunction to me

Fmsdaddy"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

I have never had eczema until now. I'm sooooooo itchy. It's unbelievable. Derm gave me hydrocortisone 2.5. Eucerin and aquaphor. Not really helping. Any tips?
Doing my best to hold on to God's unchanging hand! Praying for healing for all my Fibromites.

Perhaps you can try Aloe Vera Gel(97% or more in purity-purchase from health food stores) as find it helps me when have an eczema outbreak! If burn self by accident or have itchy skin use the aloe vera, too! It works wonders for me! Think it wise to get allergy tested+ use sensitive skin products on skin only! Hope you find something that works for you soon! Wish you all the best! Keep us in the loop! warmest wishes and soothing hugs Clarita Smile dolphin smiles from the UK
