Maybe it’s all for the sake of humility, but I prefer to hope it’s for His Glory…
I’ve been diagnosed via Urgent Care with a case of Pityriasis Rosea although the dermatologist thinks it’s from some vines I pilled in our new yard. Either way its an ugly, red, streaky rash covering one side of my body.
Our daughter left for Hawaii with a small patch of poison ivy (?) returning 2 weeks later covered in tiny polka-dots, like prickly-heat. We wondered if it could somehow be the same thing and headed to Urgent Care. The doctor on duty told us these were most likely 2 different, harmless, irritations and to just wait them out.
Ugh… I did not like that prescription and I was itching!! So I sought a 2nd opinion.
With a dermatologist’s sample for rashes (Clobex), and a vegan diet of strictest order, all my immune boosters are on the table! I cut out salt, animal proteins, and all sweeteners (agave, coconut sugar…) -for now. I’m eating up fruits, veggies and gluten-free grains. I also added Shaklee’s Interferon. Hopefully this will help.
Maybe all the stress of the moving made this rash grow so large and itch so badly. Either way, we are headed to the beach for a huge family reunion soon and I’m looking rather scary in a bathing suit. This is one hideous rash! My daughter’s is much less noticeable and not itchy anymore.
How does God get any glory from this? Hmmm, I’m not sure, but I’ll tell you know when I have a clue. We are enjoying the holiday weekend – hope you are too!
