Something Must Be Working

The blog has been quiet lately, hasn't it?

Well, it's because my rash is pretty much under control! It's hard for me to believe! I guess on my 4th pregnancy with this crazy condition, I've finally tweaked my routine to something that helps!

Here's a Link to my current treatment routine, in case you'd like to give it a try. I'm pretty sure my essential oil blend is the key to all, so here's a link to that Recipe. It's worth a try people!

I've got 4 and a half weeks left in this pregnancy, and then probably 2 more months of dealing with the rash. But the end is in sight! I sure hope all that I've learned helps some of you out there!

Polls

I realized that everyone who views my blog via the mobile version misses my polls! If you scroll to the bottom and click on "view web version," you'll be able to see my polls on the right hand side of the page. I have a couple of questions about PUPPPs there, and while they aren't scientific, the results are really interesting! Thanks for stopping by!

I deleted my personal facebook page months ago. I was spending WAY too much time on it. But I created a PUPPPs facebook page to continue to spread the word about the rash and create another place for people to talk about it. I have no friends or followers yet (poor me!), so have pity on me and like my page. :)

Here it is:

Patterns in PUPPPs

Has anyone else noticed a pattern with their rash?

I've had PUPPPs for 3 months now, and I've noticed that once a month, it gets worse. For the most part, my routine keeps it under control, but it has peaked 3 times since the start. At each peak, a new patch starts in a new place! 

That makes me wonder if the inflammatory response in my skin is somehow related to hormone fluctuations. Anybody else experience this?

News Headline

Scanning through the news yesterday, this headline caught my eye...

"Mystery Rash Caused By Electronic Devices"

Sadly, not the answer to PUPPPs. But it might be worth taking note of if you have a history of allergies to metals. It would certainly be a bummer to find out you were exacerbating your PUPPPs with your tablet time.
