Rash still here a little......

I don't know what I got myself into, but my rash is just now starting to go away. It took a week!!  I used moringa oil, olive oil, vitamin E oil and finally calamine lotion.  The lotion seemed to help it the most.  My skin still has not cleared so I'm not sure if my skin will be scarred or what.  I really do think it was the flea/tick dog shampoo that did it.  I will be wearing gloves next time!! :)

Hope everyone is having a great day.

Like I've said many times ....it could always be worse. Always!

I woke up with a rash all over my body.  Literally from head to toe.  Itches like CRAZY!  I'm not sure what caused it.  Maybe something I touched while bathing the dogs?  Something I touched outside? I just don't know and I don't have good enough health insurance to go to the Emergency Room either so I guess I will have to wait and see.  Anyone have any home remedies for rashes??

On a good note......haven't been in pain for awhile with my Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Whatever I'm doing really IS working.  Love it! 

I hate this skin disease..... Hidradenitis Suppurativa ( HS )

I know I have learned how to control the disease, but I still hate having it.  I guess this is the challenge God wants me to overcome with grace & without being angry I have it. It could always be worse.  Always.

I am thankful that I do not have to take narcotic pain medicine to control the pain for this Hidradenitis Suppurativa chronic infection.   :) 

New Cures?? At least some progress for sure.....

I have come across an HS Institute near Cleveland, Ohio.  I suggest everyone with this disease check it out: http://www.hs-institute.com/ !!! 

LOVE seeing this kind of information.  People are working hard to help us with this disease. :) The work they are doing there seems to be heading in the right track! Their surgery seems to work for some folks, but my concern would be: if it ever comes back, will it then come back under the scar tissue? I still have lots of questions but its a start.....there's actually an Institute now looking into this horrible disease.

HOT NEWS:   I've been hearing alot about a product called Emuaid.  I'm tempted to buy it and try it out.  It is rather expensive, but I have nothing to lose.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa - Vitamins for a Healthy Body!

I was confused about Vitamins until I researched what each were all about.  Vitamins are essential for everyday health....especially those of us who are living with a chronic infection / disease. Dr. Weil gives an explanation of what the vitamin/supplements do to help your body. I didn't know that I needed all the vitamins I did because I guess I just never cared. I don't eat terribly healthy so I need the daily vitamins. Hope this helps clear up your vitamin questions....if you happen to have any. :)

Hidradenitis Suppurativa - **MORINGA** Breast Cancer Gone....WHAT????

My mom, of course, has been telling me about something called Moringa. She had a lady visit her Church over the Christmas Holiday and apparently this lady (from Africa) was telling her a story about how she had Breast Cancer and she cured herself! Yep....one of the things she did was consume Moringa daily. So, of course I found the story fascinating and I opted to look into this Moringa food/plant and see what I could find.  

I found this: Moringa Contains.....

• 3 times the Potassium in bananas
• 7 times the Vitamin-C as in oranges
• 25 times the Iron in spinach
• 4 times the Calcium in milk
• 4 times the Vitamin A in carrots
• 46 Antioxidants
• 36 Anti-Inflammatories
• Omegas 3, 6, and 9

I personally buy my Moringa from a person/small business who ONLY grows Moringa for a living. I believe they are the ones who know best and will produce the best *natural* product. I am seeing more and more Moringa products out there and have read some reviews that say their moringa was a light brown color.  True Moringa is dark green and smells like.....well, grass or tree leaves. 

I have been giving my 20 month old 1/8 tsp of Moringa a day.  He has had approximately 5 ear infections since he was born and I was determined to find something that would help him. I am happy to say that he has had a runny nose off & on (stupid allergies!) for about 3 weeks and he has not developed an ear infection since I have been giving him moringa almost everyday. I can't say for sure that the Moringa was the 'cure', but I certainly think so.  It sure doesn't hurt him having it.  My child eats anything put in front of him......including peppers & onions so I know he's getting all the nutrients his body needs. 

Please Moringa, heal my Hidradenitis Suppurativa!!
