CONGRATULATIONS CRYSTAL...i bet you are thrilled to see this happening and fascinating all at the same time.
Listen all i can suggest is to use some lactic acid type creams, very sparingly when you notice some scale beginning to come though, and it should be enough to soften it right off, before the scale takes hold...
Bare in mind though that the thinner your scale is, then the more likely that the lactic acids are going to penetrate thru your skin and into your blood stream. SO USE SPARINGLY, LEAVE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND MAKE SURE YOU WIPE OFF ANY EXCESS CREAM STRAIGHT AWAY...
Crystal i keep missing you in Yahoo...and I don't want to sign up to talk to you with your mobile option on MSN...
Hope we can chat properly soon....thinking of you all the time...
p.s. I almost forgot...Try taking ZYRTEC...which is an antihistamine...It is the best medication i have ever been on, to stop overnight scratching...I wish i knew about it years ago when i was on the orginal Tigason.
GIVE IT A GO...but it is quite expensive...big sigh, and i know that is the hardest part for you...wish i could ship stuff over to you...I have actually enquired about that, but was told that I can't...
Crystal, therefore, I am seriously thinking about trying to pay for some creams etc...for you to make you feel more comfortable...You don't deserve to go without (and be in pain) especially when you have children to manage...I have been wanting to do this for ages and ages now...
Take care
Love Pauline
