GRATITUDE

This blog is more than just information about eczema and skin.  This blog is my story.

It’s an incredibly vulnerable experience for me to share all these personal feelings and I can’t thank everyone enough for your support.  My boyfriend, his mom, and my sister have all supported me in writing this blog from the very beginning and I can’t express how much it means to me to know people care about me and all that I share.

LACEY’S STORY

For anyone who knows me, they know I am NOT tech savvy!  So here is my first attempt at an edited podcast with music.. Enjoy!

ECZEMA LINKED TO THYROID?

I was talking to my boyfriend’s mom about the affect the thyroid gland can have on an array of body functions.  She said it can affect your weight, mood, and even your skin.  In three weeks, I’m going to the doctor’s to get a physical and she suggested I have my thyroid checked

LIGHT THERAPY

I went to the dentist last Monday and spoke with one of the ladies who worked there.  She noticed the eczema on my hands and told me a story about her husband, who also has eczema, but on his hands and feet.  Jolleen told me his eczema is so bad, his feet bleed on a daily basis.

OTHER MEMOIRS

As a blogger I can truly appreciate the writings of others.  Below are some links to bloggers/writers who have eczema too.  All of these people have suffered with this skin condition, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  Read their stories and feel free to share your own personal memoir too.  This is the forum to share your stories
