January

Hello!

It has been a while (month) since my last post. I have been laying really low since I haven't been well and didn't particularly feel like blogging. My eczema flared up. It's been hard getting up in the mornings and your skin is all red, tight, dry and awful feeling. It's been visits to the gp almost weekly. 

This time I put emulsifying ointment on my face without washing. The flakiness around my eyes exacerbated the chronic blepharitis. So my eyes are puffy and tender. Now I wash my face with cleanser and take antibiotics.

I'm doing best to keep positive. I've been doing my best at keeping a healthy diet and clean surrounds. I have to thank my mum for being so good and making things easier for me. 

Since last night I've decided to be determined to get all this under control. It's easy to feel sad and sorry for yourself. I'm going to follow the gp's instructions (no skipping), and avoid things that might cause flare ups. 

POSSIBLE CAUSES 

I have ideas of the causes for the exacerbation but not definite ones. It may be the heat, hair dye, chemical exposure, stresses with things at home or anxiety changing jobs. Or it could be all these things. Right now, it really is the chronic scratching. I scratch habitually - it must stop. 

JOBS

In other news, I am starting my new job tomorrow! I'm super excited. but also nervous. Health wise things haven't been awesome so I am a little apprehensive with starting this new routine. I also had ideas for new outfits but I haven't been well enough to go shopping. I already have enough outfits for the moment so it should be good for the while. 

There are no photos to share on this post as my camera phone reached its maximum. boo. 

I'm going to get ready now.
