I don't find my diet triggers my condition though. In fact due to the constant excess loss of skin and oil and my fast metabolism I find that a lot of the food i eat is taken by my condition hence keeping me at the weight I am since i was 15. I have grown to have my condition as a part of me But it does play a major impact on me psychologically because So many people do not understand the condition. It covers 99% of my body and i have my good days and bad.Any day would be easier to face if people would stop with the stares and comments.... Hi Natasha and all other visitors,

Little things can become very difficult when the skin is flared up, inflamed or infected. I am on antibiotics regularly and my life gets so interrupted to the point it makes me feel very down. After seeing a doctor at work, they have fortunately given me flexible working which makes me feel less stressed, but unfortunately not all employers are understanding. People think you're just itchy but don't know how uncomfortable and painful it can be. Even though other conditions/illnesses are a lot worse, some eczema sufferers really do suffer in silence and be aware that it can covered by the Disability Discrimination Act if it affetcs you to a large extent. I personally feel diet has a lot to do with it and I am currently seeing a nutritionist, but exercise classes, soothing 'me time' and time in the sun abroad really helps me feel better.
