my skin hates me

Behind my ears, on my forehead, eyelids, scalp, back, arms and shins....dry patches. All over the place. Ugh. I feel so gross right now. The steroid cream the doctor gave me is seeming less and less effective. I see her in a week and will ask but until then I better do a damn good job of following her instructions so I can honestly say if it's working or not. It surely doesn't seem to be though.Okay, done venting. Everything else is going pretty good, still tired a lot but that's nothing new.

Good News

I found out last week that my short term disability is approved until July 24th. Ultimately this is good news but a little irritating that I have to be evaluated again so soon. I understand it though, just a bit annoying. This last week was much less active, I slept a lot more and my body was in a lot more discomfort. I went to the gym once and to a yoga class my friend teaches. Apparently those things combined was more than my limit. They've told me from the beginning that exercise will help with fatigue but this isn't proving to be true, at least not yet.

My sleep is pretty messed up right now. I had a fairly active day on Saturday and proceeded to sleep all day Sunday. I was up at 9am Monday and didn't fall asleep until around midnight and yet I'm wide awake less than six hours later. sigh. Good thing I am off work huh? My nausea was also pretty bad yesterday, thankfully that only seems to hit about once a week at most these days but the fatigue is still unmanageable. Speaking of, think I will attempt sleep again or at least just go stare at my ceiling for a bit.
