so am i the only one who doesn’t love elidel?? i get eczema break outs on my EYES when i am stressed and it feels good (but so does all cold lotion) but doesn’t seem to do much else. but since it’s my EYES the dr. doesn’t want to give me a steroid…

and at least people assume you’ve been doing something ACTIVE — my eyes are always puffy and black circles and they say “you look tired, are you sick? you should go home” and i want to slap them. [/pms rant]

Oh Sarah, I know just how you feel! I have the lovely fun and talented Rose A. Cea performing weekly on my face. She loves to pop up and give me a good heckling when I eat anything with tomatoes or chocolate, get too warm, get stressed, or hmmm, just you know — LIVE!

I am totally empathetic to your plight with the redness. Do you get those lovely little (‘scuze me while I say this oh-so-apologetically) pustules too? Yeah, those are so FUN!

Anyway, I think you’re talented, skinny and beautiful and I hope you have a great weekend. :O)

I relate in a *big* way about the job thing… Some days it’s all I can do to drag my butt to work in the morning!

FYI, what hopefully is a helpful hint (a friend told me once, and I found it to be true): When you have redness or pinkness on your skin, wearing red or pink highlights that fact… You may want to try offsetting with colors like green or blue. Just an idea, you may find it helps it not to be so noticable… even if only a bit.

Thanks for sharing the rant, helps me to remember I’m not the only one who needs to bitch about stuff sometimes!
