July 14, 2013 - The Big Flare Begins

This is about when the classical signs of TSW show up.  The sharp definition at the wrist, flaking, cracking, weeping, elephant skin and edema.  One of the worst things at this point is the temperature control.  I am freezing and over-heated at the same time.  I can feel the sweaty heat pouring out of my shirt, yet my feet are freezing.  Sleeping is almost impossible.  And the itching.  Oh. My. God.  I think only fellow TSW sufferers can relate to the almost unbelievable level of itch.  If I yield to the urge to itch, my body explodes with waves of itching everywhere.
