Geoid Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Saw the Dr, I have eczema on my eyelids. (joy) Sorry to hear that Fred, have you been stressed? Not really, my dermatologist has said there is no trigger for flare ups, they just happen randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 That sounds really uncomfortable, Fred. Hope your doctor has prescribed something to help. Sorry about your ES' job, ANH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Mine are definitely made worse by stress, that and products with SLS in them. I know the triggers and it helps me to manage it; it's far better these days though, although my finger tips were split and bleeding when the weather was cold.

bluekarin Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Put my wellies on this morning to take dog for a walk. They'd been outside for a couple of days and didn't think anything of it. Then the toe of my left foot started to feel a bit wet and squishy It got worse and worse the more I walked and I suddenly thought, the only way it could feel like this but not feel anything crunchy was if there was a slug in the end of my boot On the way home I started to dread having to take my boot off to see what mess was there. When I did I found.......nothing! It's amazing what your brain can conjure up! My left toes really did feel cold and wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think you must've mashed that poor slug to pulp and then nothing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Who is that on your avatar? End of an era - put 2 pairs of boots in recycle this morning. One pair I had had since the 80's -sob. Big split in side. The others had a split underneath and leaked. Got my moneys worth there I think. I feel energised having de-cluttered - how sad is that?

Lewis Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Spent the afternoon pretending to be a Vet and a Farmer, castrating the group of 2 month old calves Used anaesthetic and a scalpel, was really interesting! In other news, my Dissertation isn't going exactly to plan. Its in for Wednesday and have spent the last 3 days trying to do my Stats! My Diss Supervisor suggested I do more lab work on Tuesday, write it up Tuesday night for Weds... Somehow I don't think so! Sorry he didn't get the job ANH - I know a vet who has had problems with cleaners stealing drugs etc so they have to be really careful!

The Dogmother Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Oh Lewis, I hope you get the dissertation sorted - remember to shout if you need help proofing and formatting it. XX We needs to clip the alpacas' feet at work... well, I hope not to get involved, having heard the tales of the last 'rodeo' I may just watch the lads make fools of themselves they need shearing too (alpaca, not men) but we get a shearer in for that. One of the Longhorn bulls is going up for sale as he's related to all the ladies in the herd now, so can't be mated with them. I'll get the camera out and get some photos done if it's sunny tomorrow. He's a handsome chap and the size of a van! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I posted myself just outside of Penzance today, to see James May, Gary Barlow, Dr Brian Cox & Chris Evans speed by in their pink Rolls Royce. They are going from Lands End to John O'Groats to raise money for breast cancer care I stood with two lovely ladies that I had just met, as you do when you're hanging by the side of the road, waiting for a passing car It was a really bright sunny day & I couldn't see the video buttons on my phone properly. The drove by, slowed down so I got some lovely footage & they waved & beeped their car horn at us When I got home, I realised that I had accidentally pressed the pause button when they drove by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I want to come and play with alpaca!! Just been up to the farm to give 50 pet lambs their midnight bottle feeds... Its cute at first but takes about 2 hours to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I want to come and play with alpaca!! I'll let you know if we need help Just been up to the farm to give 50 pet lambs their midnight bottle feeds... Its cute at first but takes about 2 hours to do That'll be good practice for if you ever had children of your own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Went to work this morning to sort + feed the pet lambs, came back and went for lunch with Becky, went to the National Library of Wales to do some work (is intimidatingly quiet!), then had an hour meeting with a lecturer to sort the Stats for my Diss... Came home and pretty much collapsed into bed. Was shivery but burning up with fever, slept for 3 hours and feeling a bit better now but think the overtiredness and stress is finally getting to me! Fred, I meant to post this the other day. When we were TB testing my hands had gone almost scaley from working on the farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Fred, I meant to post this the other day.

The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Slap some Camrosa ointment on them Lewis - very healing and acts as a barrier too. Hope you get over the fever thing; don't want you getting another chest infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Aldi had huge pots of Aqueous cream on special buy when I went in on Thursday. If you've got one near you Lewis it might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Heard an interesting thing from a colleague, who has just got back from a holiday in South Africa where credit card fraud is rife.... each time there's a transaction on your card, your are sent a text to your mobile phone - great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
