...and it's driving me crazy!!!!

The above link should show you a pic of what's on the palm of both my hands and it's a complete nightmare really really itchy and it's now gotten very stingy and burny almost.

I'd rang the doctor's yesterday but the only available appointment was next tuesday which would've been a bit long to wait for someone about to chop her hands off to stop the itching but I told the receptionist what was wrong with me and the creams and stuff I've tried to control the itching and swelling with and that none of them had worked. Was hoping there would be a prescription waiting for me at the close of the day but instead the receptionist rang me back and said because I've tried so many things the doctor would need to see my hands so she'd given me an emergency appointment. Normally I hate having to use the emergency appointments and would rather wait but yesterday I didn't care cause the itching was just so bad!

Can't believe I've got eczema on my hands, quite often I get something like a heat rash on the top of my hands and I always just assumed it was just that a heat rash but now I know that those bumps are eczema as well.

I've a stronger cream to use on my hands than I'd use for my arms and this one only needs applied twice a day so I'm hopeful it will go away very soon, but in the meantime I'm enjoying not being able to do the dishes or any housework for that matter. I've a very attentive husband who'd rather I didn't do any housework incase the cleaning products aggravated my hands further. He's such a darling! and I'm probably taking too much advantage of this but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.
