Still fighting the same damn battle...🙂
Things aren't getting better—actually, they're getting worse. I’ve developed this rash all over my body now. I started taking Aerius allergy pills today, but honestly, at this point, I don't even know what's helping or what's making it worse.
I've gone through a mountain of testing and everything comes back "fine." According to the labs, I'm perfectly healthy. Yet, here I am, feeling terrible. Both my doctors and I are starting to reach the same conclusion—that this is all just stress and nerves.
Along with everything else I had checked, there was:
- a kidney ultrasound
- two different urine tests
- blood work for Lyme disease (got the results back from the clinic today—negative)
- thyroid hormone levels—all within the normal range
I also went to see a specialist in Chicago, Dr. Kaliterna, over near the downtown medical district.
He gave me some compresses and recommended phototherapy, though I'm still waiting to coordinate that with him—I emailed him some new photos today...
Basically, I'm totally lost.
In these last few months, I've burned through a ton of creams, and only one actually did anything. At least back then, everything cleared up, so I'm hoping that's the right one (I got it from a lady on this forum—thanks again to her)... I managed to get the contact info and ordered two more. I just spoke with her, and she's shipping them tomorrow. They're creams from that Swiss company Just, specifically the Attiva line, and one of them is $41. I think it comes in a 100 ml tube.
If they actually work again... it would be a miracle.
I took more photos today—not just of my legs, but because the rash has spread everywhere, so you can see for yourselves...🙈
Personally, I think what I really need isn't more medicine, but psychological help combined with some bioenergy supplements... I've completely drained my reserves.
Here are today's photos:

I'm wondering where I can pick this cream up. Also, which member was it that the author received the cream from? This thread was started quite a while ago, so if anyone is still checking this forum, please reach out. Thanks so much.
