Feeling off!!
« on: January 27, 2004, 06:43:32 PM »
Have been having UVB for the last two weeks and now feeling as though it is catching up with me. Had a session yesterday and it seemed ok a little warm when I went to bed last night but today i feel terrible. My lips feel dry and horrid despite applying lip stuff and my skin is feeling warm and so itchy! Feel absolutely exhausted as well! Can't remember feeling like this on previous times!

Was doing so well and having no reaction until now!

Sorry rachd

I had UVB but it didn't agree with me at all... ended up redder than when I started!! lol!!

Drink loads of water and keep moisturised - plenty of Doublebase!! Vaseline on the lips is also a godsend!!

Hope you feel better soon  :-*

Hi there,

You're not the only one who has suffered.What you described was me 16 treatments ago.

On the day of treatment , moisturise before , moisturise after , drink plenty of water and go and lie down for an hour.
This has been my regime for weeks now and you will feel ok fairly quickly.I asked at the derm clinic...apparently some people feel this way afterwards....you and I are just 2 of them......don't worry  ;D ;D

Hi all,
Feeling much better today although have just come back from hospital after having some more UVB. Starting to look more promising today!
Stuart my light nurse has told me not to put any moisteriser on until after treatment. Conflicting advice they seem to be giving out again!!

I was told definitely NOT to put on any creams.....Alphosyl , Dovonex or whatever , but to moisturise before......ah well , conflicting advice certainly , but think about it...would you put some kind of protection/moisturiser on before you went out in the sun ??  An inert moituriser should do no harm....but obviously you should do as your told.......could be something that is unique to your skin that prompted that advice.

I was suffering VERY badly with dry skin , perhaps that is why I was told to moisturise......remember everyone is unique , what works for me may not for someone else,what my skin needs may not be needed by others.
