Eczema and Comorbidities

What other conditions do you live with in addition to atopic dermatitis?

  1. overweight, anxiety, depression, scalp eczema, insomnia

    1. wow, that is a lot to be living with. Sending hugs! It's interesting how for so many of us living with eczema, there are so often other comorbidities. Many of the health challenges you have listed, like to team up together. As if it's a party and they all want to be there. Like they just don't give you a break. I know that when I am feeling anxious my eczema gets worse, that keeps me up at night, and it becomes a vicious cycle. For me, discovering mediation and incorporating exercise into my routine, really makes a big difference on my overall health. What sort of things do you find help you when you're struggling? Chava B.
