Re: PLEASE HELP !! I can't take this anymore, horrible inflammation
I really identified with your post because I recently got to that point of not feeling able to take the torture any more, and didn't know what to do. It never occured to me that I could get rid of excema, but in the last 4 days, I've changed my mind, so I thought I'd tell you what I'm doing.
I read the whole of Good Samaritan's website -
http://www.eczemacure.info/
- and decided to try something similar. There's a resource/further reading page on his site, with a link to a small book which I can't recommend strongly enough!! It's by Janet Something - called 'Excema Free in 14 Days' and you can download it for about $30. It's basically a guide to making your body healthy and able to heal itself through apple detoxing followed by 14 days of eating a lot of raw fruit, veggies, sprouted pulses, and other such foods. I don't know if you've looked at this kind of thing before; if not - go for it. I only tried it because I had to do something, and I didn't know if food alone could really have such a big effect on such a powerful disorder as excema, but I have seen my disgusting skin improve dramatically since I started (only 4 days ago). I feel so much better, I don't look as if I have chemical burns, and I feel optimistic about the progress I'll make over the next couple of weeks.
I'm also taking vitamins, just to be on the safe side - omega 3 and 6 plus evening primrose oil, B vitamins, and vitamins A, C, D, and E. (I also recently started new homeopathic treatment, and acupuncture/Chinese herbs. These have also been really good, but the really dramatic improvement started when I changed my diet.)
You might also want to try Epaderm as an emollient/wash. I was finding the usual ones (eg. aqueous cream) got sucked up by my thirsty skin in minutes. Epaderm lasts much longer, is even kinder on my skin, and doesn't smell of much. It's a bit sweaty in hot weather, but not too bad.
Well, I hope that this helps you, or at least that someone's advice does :-) Keep trying stuff. I've spent huge amounts of money on treatments too, but once you find something that helps, all the costs are worth it.
Get better soon x
