So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from...
Involuntary insomnia.
Saturday, September 8, 2007 @ 2:07 am
The itching gets much worse when I go to sleep.

When I wake up for a while, it tends to subside, but I can't keep losing sleep like that.

If only there were a neverending supply of cold compresses (to discourage the immune response that stimulates pruritis) at my bedside, I would be a happy (and well-rested) man.

I know I've been saying this for a long time now, but I really, really need insurance. Maybe then I can see that dermatologist at the new clinic who went to my college. Perhaps he would be willing to work extra hard to help out a fellow alumnus.

Lord knows I'll need all the help I can get.

Alright, I need another cold pack...

Hope you do. Not having enough sleep is bad.

Itchiness is truly torture. :/

Have you tried taking an oatmeal bath? Like, Aveeno or whatever? It helps a little. Or you could take a sleeping pill, dunno how that works though.

I thought they passed that law so that we could be on our parent's insurance til we were 25.

Remember, you could be allergic to your sheets.

Scraping off all of my skin with a machete is always another option I usually consider in the middle of the night.

err.. what about meditation?

hmm, that's true. Any changes in detergent? Soap? shampoo? diet? carpeting? Weather? The powers that be say that it's just chronic, possibly hereditary and brought on by stress, but they say that because that's what they say about every malady when they have no fucking idea what it is. It is my personal and professional opinion that each case may be traced to a specific environmental trigger, though sometimes it may be difficult to diagnose because the reaction doesn't manifest until times of stress or it takes a while for the reaction to develop. (And a while/steroids for it to go away, when the irritant is removed). Rage! rage! (against the dying of the light?) This is what you should write your disseration about. :P Do you even know how many people would thank you?

Incidentally, "mountain fresh" detergent made my eczema return last year. Got to go with the Tide Free. The mountains be damned! And "Shower Clean" deordorant, too!
