What didn’t I do? Long sleeves and pants all year! Rough fabric was the enemy. Behind the knees would get so bad and scabby I couldn’t even bend my knees to walk properly. I was never brave enough to use the rash to gain am advantage though I wish I was. I was one of those that ended up in tears because of other kids. But honestly I am who I am…

New to this but here is what I have learned so far. Aquaphor – no! It’s so thick and greasy it ruined my clothes and honestly wasn’t much help. I use 1 T. oil (jojoba) with 2-3 drops of pure Tree Tea Oil. On bad days, I also put a cream on top. Trader Joe’s A Midsummer Night’s Cream Moisturizing Cream/extra dry formula. Even without the oil…

Hi Noreen, I’m new to this whole AD thing so every day is an adventure of trial and error, mostly error (I’m sure you’ve been there, done that). I love red wine but I get an immediate flare.
