anybody affected by showers.my left leg and foot always feel swelled no matter if I take a hot or cool shower.Also I have been having more skin shedding,dry skin and more allergies than I used to.I took off a latex free bandaid on my hip and now theres a sore around the edge plus any where thats been poked in the past is sensitive like my arms where the iv's were and my back where the emg needles were.A moth flew and hit my eye lid on the first and I developed an itchy rash.

I have had dry skin and more allergies. Don't know if it is because of age or because of fibro. It may have happened anyway. Allergies run in my family on both sides, so I have always had them a little. I have very sensitive skin as it is. My grandmother was allergic to that adhesive hospital tape. You could be allergic to the bandage.

Hope you figure things out Nana.

Hugs, Karen

me too it seems to get worse every day.my other foot is starting to act like the first.

I'm thinking it might be one of two things--either fungal, or from sticky/sludgy blood that is not able to oxigenate the skin properly (that's common for some Lymies, as well).  Boluoke or bromelain will fix the blood issue.

Hi Nana!

You have some serious sensitivities going on there. That moth deal is amazing! I'm sorry it gives you so much trouble. There's not much I can say to help but I just wanted you to know that I care...

Hugs,
