Emotionally shattered, physically exhausted, spiritually desperate.
I'll post the dietician/doc story another time.

The adventures of Jasmine, her parents and the nasty skinbeast called eczema.
Things yet to try...

- Epsom Salt bath
- Water Softener
- Naturopathy
- NAET (allergy elimation)
- Dermasilk clothing
- Neem oil
- Detol and baby oil rub
Welcome =]
I thought a blog may be the easiest way of recording little Jasmine’s journey as we stumble our way trying to relieve her suffering with eczema.
A little history:
Jasmine is our 1st. She popped out following a marathon labour on the 13th February 2008, a day early ;) She didn’t cry when she arrived, content to watch everything with the biggest blue eyes. She remains as natural as we can muster. Following a painstaking review of all the available material (for and against) we made the decision to avoid vaccines.
Her suffering with eczema began roughly two weeks into her little life, starting as ‘cradle cap’ and working its way down her face to her chest, arms and legs. Despite the infernal itch she remains amazingly tolerant. She scratches when her skin is exposed for changing, and tears at her head when she is tired and/or frustrated.
She has a beautiful smile and a gutsy chuckle, though it can take some goading to get it out of her!
I wish there was more we could do to take that itch away. I wish I could make her comfortable. So with this blog I plan to document the trials and tribulations we have faced and will face as we attempt to control her flare-ups and ultimately (hopefully) rid her of this ailment.
