Prayers needed


Posted: May 10, 2011

I have the worst case of eczema/allergies/whatever that I've ever had.  The rx the doctor gave me only made it worse.  I have another call into her, but in the meantime this has rapidly increased, has developed tiny little blisters and itches like heck.   Please pray for healing.

If any of you have any home remedies, I'd appreciate them.  I've about given up on traditional medicine.

Have you tried.... - simple Benadryl?

Hoping you find relief soon!!!

Are you taking any meds that perhaps you are having an allergic reaction to? Aspirin causes me to have a blister-like rash.

I have tried Benadryl, which helps with the itching. I've tried Epsom salt soaks (which I used as a child), I've tried the creams and lotions, both RX and non-RX for eczema and nothing has worked. The itching is so intense that it feels like my hands are on fire and it's hard to concentrate on my work. My next step is to try a treatment which I found while researching this disease. (in reading back over this, I'm wondering if I shouldn't have posted it on the health issues board instead.

My daughter had problems with eczema when she was little and the meds our pediatrician recommended never worked. on top of that, every lotion I tried (even those listed as nonirritating, et) would cause her skin to turn red and burn. We finally ended up seeing a dermatologist to prescribed Mimyx (a moisturizing lotion) and Cutivate cream. Incredibly so, these meds helped tremendously! If you've not tried these meds, or the combination thereof, I would highly recommend it.

Hoping you can get some relief....SOON!!

Have you tried baking soda soaks? That seemed to help her a little.

I had thought of baking soda, but need to run out and get some. I've also tried Epsom salt soaks which worked when I was a child. This acts almost like an allergy, though. I've even though of putting my birds up for sale, although I would only do that as a last resort. It would be like selling my children to do that.
I highly recommend - .

Getting your doctor to prescribe those meds I recommended or asking for samples. I think it's probably the combination of the 2, but I can't promise that.

Just thought you would like to know ... after a failed trial of ketoconazole (had a bad reaction to it), my doctor put me on tapering prednisone and I am almost completely healed.

I am having very bad GERD symptoms again.  This has been going on for a long time, and I take medications periodically which seemed to really help.   I am having symptoms of food sticking in the throat (occasionally), and burning.    I have an appointment next Tuesday with my primary care physician.  Knowing the possibilities is scaring me to death.   I am fearful of the test, and also of hearing the results afterwards.   Your prayers are gr ...

I feel weird asking for prayers from strangers, but I could really use some strength now.

These things scare me so much but what I am afraid of most is my husband.  He was diag ...

I divorced my kids' "dad" in 2006.  He has done nothing but cause major problems (DD was suicidal and we were all on meds for depression and anxiety) and I was told in this state (OK) once he turned a certain age, he does not have to go to his dad's anymore.  I would be SOOOO happy if that were true and he does not have to go there anymore.  DD is now 18 so she does not have to, but felt like she had to be polite to him because he has a tendency to fly off the handle at ...

Prayers Needed For Best FriendApr 28, 2015
I am sitting here trying to work between crying.  My best friend called me last night to inform me that her liver disease is no longer responding to the meds she has been on.  They are going to run a set of tests to see if there is another medication that will help her.  She has never been a drinker or a smoker.  I am closer to this woman than my own sisters.  She has gotten me through many hard times.  She knows me better than I know myself.  I can't ima ...

Newly released emails from Wikileaks show Hillary Clinton staffers debating how they can best use the death of a black man to further their agenda. The email began as a request for an essay by Clinton from Marie Claire who was partnering with Harvard University on a study about women and guns but it quickly devolved into brainstorming ideas on how to push the campaign’s anti-gun and racial narratives.

No God Needed To Create UniverseSep 07, 2010
By STEPHEN HAWKING And LEONARD MLODINOWAccording to Viking mythology, eclipses occur when two wolves, Skoll and Hati, catch the sun or moon. At the onset of an eclipse people would make lots of noise, hoping to scare the wolves away. After some time, people must have noticed that the eclipses ended regardless of whether they ran around banging on pots.Ignorance of nature's ways led people in ancient times to postulate many myths in an effort to make sense of their world. But eventually, peo ...

Wise Words Never More Needed Than NowJul 18, 2012
I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. (Colossians 2:4). Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? (Job 15:8). For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world (1 John 2:16). For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16). Eloquent words are not fitting for a fool; ev ...

Alcoholic Friends ... Advice NeededJan 31, 2010

Urgent Prayer Requests NeededJul 13, 2011
I am being evicted because of the fact that I had not been able to pay my rent for three months. I had a wonderful job that paid well and paid weekly and we lost the contract and of course, like many on here know, it takes time and patience to be able to obtain other employment. I was able to find a job after about a 2-3 week search, however, I found out that the company did not pay for the headers and footers and of course, they required 125 lines per hour for straight typing. Many people sa ...
