Hello @glinda

Wanted to stop by for a visit and say hello. How are you doing? Is your PT progressing and is everyone (including you) happy with your progress?

How are you filling up your days when PT is over.

I look forward to hearing from you.

@glinda I am sorry to hear of the dry skin and itching - that can be very worrisome.

Do you have products to use for it?

@glinda I am sure those creams are the best for the type of itching you are experiencing but there is another non-prescription cream that is specifically for itchy skin and I have used it and found that it does help. The name of it is Sarna, and I bought it right at the local drug store. I have not used the prescriptions you mention.

I have used sarna before but I also have extreme eczema and have tried everything including sarna so my dermatologist order the tramicolone ointment and the hydrocortisone cream because I have a lot of allergies also that cause me to break out in a rash not fun can't walk barefoot at anytime especially outside in the grass as I break out and blister from it

@glinda Thankful to hear you are progressing. Remaining positive is the best thing.
