Update on my itchy rash
After consulting my PCP and 2 dermatologists the conclusion is ecxema. It is just starting to phase out and I am hoping it continues that way. I have a collection of medications creams shampoos etc and truly none of them gave me much relief. I also have had asthma flare ups and I understand this goes along with eczema and liver disease. Does anyone have more info on how this all works and if they have any advice.

Also...the State of FL is working very hard with our Congressmen and our new Governor DeSantis to fix the environmental disaster with our waterways and Gulf. The red tide, microcystins and blue green algae have put a major dent in our tourism. We now know for sure that the microcystins are very harmful to the liver and that the airborne particles are far more prevalent than first discovered. We are now paying attention...much too late. The rest of the country is comparing notes with their waterways and hopefully we can all get the information we need to be aware of what is a very serious danger to us all...especially those of us with liver disease.

Hoping all of you had a great Valenine's Day!

Are you getting some relief from the itching? I really hope that you are. You deserve it after all the suffering you have gone through.

I have heard similar things about how many these different conditions can be related to liver disease. But as of the moment, I have not located anything factual to share with you. I'll keep looking. Maybe someone else has a resource connects eczema/asthma/liver disease to share with you.

Not being in Florida, I had forgotten about the algae problem that you are experiencing. I hope that with different agencies working together that something can be done about it, or at least the knowledge of what kind of health problems are involved by breathing it.

Liver-wise, how are you getting along?
