Week Four

 

I've got nothing good to say about all this right now. In spite of our 2nd treatment The Mister and I are still an itchy mess. It's quite gruesome. We know it's going to be a long haul but we are both tired and discouraged at this point. We spend all day cleaning and washing completely wearing ourselves out before facing another sleepless night. 

Pup was looking better but she's now plateaued. Her second dose is next Sunday so maybe then things will start to look up again. We've tried so many homemade remedies on ourselves that I've lost count. Tea tree and neem oil, sulphur soap, bleach baths, vinegar, baking soda, honey,  Desitin, Dawn, olive oil and salt scrubs-we've even covered ourselves in mustard.  We've got more potions on the way. At this point we'll try anything to get some relief.

And.......thanks so much for all the encouraging words. The high point of my day is when I finally get to sit down and catch up with all of you who are leading normal lives in normal skin. Don't ever take it for granted.  Sigh.......
