Possible Dermagraphism site
Thursday, February 19th, 2004I’ve always been one to talk about my dermagraphism because I’ve been dealing with it since 2000 and there just isn’t that much information out there on it. As a matter of fact, I haven’t gone searching recently but did today to see if any new information had come out and none has. There is still the exact same stuff that was out on the net four years ago! It’s sort of an information crisis. No one knows where to turn for information on how to handle it and what drugs might help. It’s the little details that are missing from the information that is available.
And there aren’t any personal sites really devoted to dermagraphism. I mean, my photos of it pop up like the 3rd entry on Google, which is just crazy. So, on Jason and Kaydee’s suggestion, I’m going to figure out hosting, buy the domain(s) and start putting up a community on the net for it. I’m going to share everything I shared in my email to Kaydee about it and add whatever else I can find. This also means that I’m going to be putting my research skills to the test and heading down to the BIG library downtown and do some heavy duty searching. I’m just tired of people not knowing anything about this skin issue. (more…)
Anyway, today I got an unknown boost from the hubby when we went to his doctor’s appt. We had to set up a surgery for him and weren’t even sure how serious it would be. Apperantly the recover is serious enough that they usually have a nurse come out to check the dressings. Jason told the doctor that we didn’t need the nurse because he knew I could handle it and take care of him. 
In the end, we did decide to have the nurse come out at least once just so that I make sure I’m doing the dressing properly, but it was a boost to know that he puts so much faith into me.
