Hey, there's a lady who needs scratching.......................leave the computer and focus on what should be your priorities!

I've focussed on both problems. Mostly poor Lucifer who is trying to think of anything else than itching.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind some soothing lotion rubbed onto her with your skillful hands!

I know I wouldn't mind.

at the moment, if anyone comes within about three feet of me, i scream, no probably not a good idea - eczmea is painful, you know.

Ever tried lidocaine?

Or does that qualify as allopathic meds?

i've been thinking about getting some sort of aneasthetic, you're right.  just to give me a break, while i wait for this bloody referral.

i've got an old student of mine on the case, too - he does reiki and hypnotherapy (not convinced about the first, know the second works), and he says he's going to think about what i need and construct some sort of treatment plan for me.  not hypno, though, cos that will just make whatever the problem is manifest somewhere else.

i'm so sick of this now, though, that i'm willing to try most things, just for a bit of respite.  trouble is, if i go the  doctor's, she'll just suggest systemic steroids (i.e. injections), which will make me put on shitloads of weight, and that'll just stress me out the same.

can't bloody win, can i?  roll on this referral, so i can get some therapy - i still believe i just need to be able to cry again.

Yeah, you've said that a lot, but you've never said what stops you.

[Lucifer]

what stops me from crying, or what stops me from getting therapy?

[odeon]

Writing a script to make scheduled backups.

what stops me from crying, or what stops me from getting therapy?

The former. I thought the latter was pretty much explained by the lack of collective brainpower among humankind.
