Fall -- favorite season. The hot, sticky, sweaty months are over, but the photodermatitis doesn't end.
I gotta be honest... I hate it!
I can't change it, I know. I can only try to manage it, and make the most out of it...
Every night when I take my clothes off the itch starts.
Sometimes the hubby comes around to help me sooth my skin. Either with kisses or lotion. Some other times he even grabs the ice cubes. Yes, the itch is irritating and puts me in a bad mood and sometimes I just want to be left alone, but I realize it is quite awesome that he just doesn't give in and continues to offer his help. He knows I need him to be there, reaching for the Aveno, grabing the ice cubes, or even hugging me as to constrain my hands, so I stop itching my skin.
I want to think that the photodermatitis has brought us closer... somehow. It is the one thing he knows for sure I can use some help with, because the "super woman" that I always try to be, can't handle it all at times.
I have to remind myself of those words I once wrote and remember that I am the one that might need most help after all...
