SHINGLES?!
Guess what!? Those bumps that I thought were acne, is actually SHINGLES!! Can you believe that? I have shingles on my eye and all over my cheek! Only on the right side! Can you believe that? Crazy I know.
I am taking time off work and I am now up north relaxing with the family. I am pretty sure it was the Protopic!! But I could be wrong, might just be nerves? Might be nerves and the protopic? Might be the jojoba oil and the omega 3? Might be????

Love the skin your in
I’ve known that beauty comes from within since I was little, but it’s so hard to realize that when you have SKIN problems!! I have eczema, I have been battling eczema since I was a little girl and here I am trying to bring people together to realize that we can get through this.
You are YOUR OWN WORSE CRITIC. Stop looking into the magnifying mirrors, stop picking at your skin, stop worrying that someone is going to think it’s gross…. In reality, no one really cares but YOU and your dermatologist. 
The people who surround you with LOVE and SUPPORT everyday see PAST your skin problems.
Now we just have to do the same…
Here I will be writing about my daily life, my complaints, my worries, my products…my issues…and I hope this blog will get YOU writing too.
Lets get together and figure out eczema. Lets combine our knowledge together so we can fight this thing…!

Hey Lyss. I’m sorry about the new string of bad news. I’ve been following your youtube vids and blog ever since I found out that you were a chronic eczema sufferer like myself. It sucks, I know. In the 4 years I’ve dealt with this nagging problem, the only thing that seems to work is a steady diet of steroid pills and creams. I know it’s not the healthiest lifestyle, but you do what you have to do to feel normal. I’m a 28 and I have to face the fact that I might have to live with this condition for the rest. I guess I’m lucky because I’m Philippino and my darker skin tends to hide some of the blemishes, but even with dark skin, a bad flareup can obviously be seen.
I know that it may seem that as your skin goes, so does life. This is a tough condition to deal with. I can’t imagine what it must feel like for a woman. Rest assure Lyss that you are very beautiful woman mentally and physically. I admire your courage and thank you for posting your experiences and thoughts for others who are also dealing with the same issues. We’re the ones afraid to come out of the dark. You let us know we’re not alone.
I hope that your condition gets better and that maybe one day you find a long lasting treatment. I’m sorry I can’t give you any tips, but everything I’ve tried has failed. I guess I’d rather have eczema than cancer, but I’d rather just not have eczema at all.
Stay strong Lyss and keep letting us know how you are.
