2017-09-13 - Red sleeves continue.

Sucks, red, itchy. No end in sight... Some days are better than others, seem to go through waves of red and swelling to it dying right down.
Stress is bad, can guarantee a flare up in the hours following getting stressed.

2017-07-27 - Nope, wasn't just Ibuprofen side effects. Skin is still flaring

Damn! Still got this red, itchy mess. :-(
Better than when I was regularly taking Ibuprofen though.

2017-07-10 - Might not have just been TSW for the past couple of months, might be some Ibuprofen side-effects.

So immediately after my last post, I stopped taking Ibuprofen. This "flare" had been lasting a lot longer than the others, so I got suspicious.
Withing 24 hours I noticed my skin feeling so much better and the splitting in the crook of my right elbow healing. 
Here we are basically a week after I stopped taking 200mg of Ibuprofen every 3 hours (I started soon after I could feel the flare starting a couple months ago!):

2017-07-04 - Skin has reverted to a red weepy mess again

So frustrating after feeling like things were getting better over the past week, the redness has returned. Can get sooooo itchy as well.
Still taking 200mg of ibuprofen every 3 hours.

Skin on hands is bad, especially right hand little finger knuckle and outside of wrist.

2017-06-29 - further easing of the redness, itchiness remains

Things are getting slowly better, having to continue taking 200mg of Ibuprofen every 3-4 hours to stop the redness, heat and itchiness returning however.

2017-06-24 - flare might be finally easing

Taken after a hot shower, so fairly pink, but itchiness has eased and healing better. I'm keeping my arms covered in arm length bandages which helps.
