Hi Zoe, Thanks so much for your input! I'm so sorry you've been through this hell. I think mine is mild, compared to yours, but bad enough that I get the shudders thinking of what you must have gone through.
Brooks seems to be helping. I attached my roll-on of it to a wooden stick with an elastic band and it's easy now to put it right where it's needed. No blisters in evidence and with the pre-existing psoriasis already there, it's hard to know exactly what's going on. I do remember having a grotesque case of chicken pox when I was a kid. Tomorrow I'll get some L-lysine. My daily supps include all the Bs and 15g of C (I do S&C for Lyme) Thanks so much for writing. Things like this can make a person feel scared and alone, especially if trying to avoid the allopathic establishment. Nice to know people out there care.
