Well, I once had poison ivy, and I was so desperate to get rid of it I wanted to just put a boiling hot iron on it, to stop the itching.

I understand your feeling. I have eczma (I have so many health problems.... I think I'm getting old. :( ), and sometimes want to peel my skin off when it's bad.

@All: Thank you for the concern. I'm feeling much better this morning, and I even managed to eat a small tub of yogurt. :)

Glad to hear it :) :)

Well i had something called Heinoc Shoinon Purpera (spelt from memory, might be wrong) which basically caused my legs to become entirely bruised, i couldn't walk without great doses of pain, i had considered chopping them off, but i refrained which is probably a good thing ;)

Hmmm...I know this one well, only my skin does peel off :rolleyes: there are times when the itch is so deep, scratching doesn't do anything but make the skin peel and blisters burst. So often I have eyed that tub of caustic soda thinking the burn would take the edge off the itch :eek: :D ;)

Yes, chopping your legs off is not good Mr Sleep.

I had black hole fever once. Something to do with escape velocity. :D

Try simply not eating for a while, and slowly introduce your body back to food. If it persists for more than 3 days, GO TO A HOSPITAL, you will become terribly dehydrated and will need an IV. Happened to my friend... and if you are an average sized person you might want to consider going to a doctor right away if you can't keep a glass of water down... it's a very major problem...

@ Sleepo, Minerva & Ysh : Try consume more vitamins, AFAIK your body sometimes require more supplement. So U better eat supplemental vitamins than relying from the food you're eating :)

I am supposed to eat?? :eek: :rolleyes: :D j/k ;) I have had it since a baby, some grow out of it, some don't. There are a few types of eczema, the atopic, dry skin type is easier to control - that doesn't cause me too many problems. The blistering type is something a little more complicated and less predictable...I am thinking of looking into alternative meds since the prescribed ones do not work and the doctor is at a loss. They even gave me psoriasis creams :rolleyes: that was agony...

Chicken pox is the worst I had to go through. My face was so itchy I wanted to scratch off all the little pimple thingys.
