Fed up today
« on: April 23, 2009, 02:25:00 PM »
Hi guys, sorry but need to moan today. Got my 12th NB UVB session yesterday, been OK so far, but last night I felt hot and itchy then cold and shivery. This AM itching like mad, patches red, sore and burning, even what normal skin I have. Just got back from my weekly shop armed with calomine lotion (not sure if it's the right thing but gotta do something) Could'nt wait to get out of clothes and into my PJ's and smeared it all over (COOL)  ::). I'me a bit gutted to say the least as I don't know how it will affect my treatment tomorrow. They will probably not treat me or reduce the dose. I thought I was seeing some progress and can't bear the thought of going through it without some improvement. Oh, what the heck! it will likely be OK tomorrow anyway, I'me just on a downer today  :'(
Sorry guys, I'll try to be a bit more positve when I next post. Somebody make me laugh, please!!!

Lunch is on me!


GROAN!  :D

Sorry to hear that :(

I've never had UVB myself (only PUVA) but I think I have read from others on here from time to time who have had similar setbacks.

I'm glad your feeling cooler now with your calomine lotion and PJs!

If you have a few more sessions left perhaps they will reduce the dose, you don't want to burn  :-\ I wish I could wave a magic wand and make things better for you. Hopefully things will be clearer tomorrow - make sure you speak to the derm nurse about how your skin was today.

I'm rubbish at jokes - have you got the Vicar of Dibley on DVD? Never fails me!

Hope you feel better soon  :-*

Thanks pet. I'me not a big V of D fan, but i'll take your advise re. a comedy DVD. I have read some funny posts on the chit chat board today that have gone some way to lifting me. I'll be fine soon, I don't mope for long or that often. Just one of those days that spring up from time to time. I know you've all had them  :-*

No worries - hope whatever you watch lifts your mood even more :)

I think we have to allow ourselves the down days - if we bottle things up it will come out in other ways anyway. I like to have a good old moan about my p once in a while, makes me feel better!

All the best

Hey guys, could calomine lotion be THE CURE. Feeling much better now. Gonna have a E45 bath and re-apply CL. Off to be UVB'd again tomorrow ( if they will treat me). Thanks for listening  :-*

I've had UVB and know how frustrating it is when you get a little bit burnt.  Try not to be too disheartened about it - whilst you may not get treatment tomorrow, you will get back on track again next week.  UVB is ups and downs but it's a long game to play so you have to be a bit patient with it all.

Keep your moisturiser in the fridge - always a great relief when you've gone a little bit pink.  Also take some antihistamines too at night if you're itchy.

Good luck with the rest of your course - am sure you will develop a glowing tan 8)
