Everything is going pretty well right now! Still no stomach problems, of course, and my ankles haven't been acting up either. =D

So I had a strange occurence on my neck a few weeks ago... I went biking one evening and came back with a ringworm fungus on the side of my neck. Random?! Chris confirmed that it was fungus, so I promptly went to walmart and bought some generic fungal cream (i know it says "for athletes foot" but you can use it for just about any fungus, believe me.) So I apply this cream like twice a day for 4 days or so and wah-lah! fungus is practically gone. But suddenly my neck is extremely dry, red, blotchy and itchy. Great. Husband-doctor Chris examines it again and says he thinks my ezcema has flared up on my neck due to the fungal cream drying out the skin so bad. Awesome. So I lather up my neck with Aquaphor just about everyday (whenever I actually remember) and hope that it simmers down without the use of steroid cream. Whenever I did anything that got me hot or sweaty, my neck would itch like crazy to the point of me wanting to claw it off. I was miserable during our entire game of disc golf last weekend. Anyway, thanks to my sweet husband for faithfully applying moisturizing ointment to my neck, the ezcema is finally under control I think. You can barely see it now.

I do have dry ezcema patches all over my legs, but I'm lazy (let's be honest here) and don't use lotion like I should, so that's what I get.

The positive thing to take away is that I'm not sick and I can walk without issues! Praise the Lord.
