Arranging for a humidifier is also smart of you! Have you run into any difficulty arranging for a humidifier or with bringing your own when you travel? Your comment…

@tbschommer, Terry and I are delighted to hear that this DIY spray recipe has helped you! The itch that keeps coming back can be sooo annoying to deal with.

I like that you pointed out that it’s a combination of brain power and anti-histamines which also help you to resist scratching. Appreciate you taking the time to try this out and provide…

Today has been the best out of the week. Had a flare up on Saturday and as you all know it takes a few days until you feel better. It’s been a difficult week aswell because I’ve got a wedding this weekend. Had my dress picked out and everything but now with this flare up, I’ve had to search for something to cover up. As much as I don’t mind my…
