Wish us luck!
Well today's the day. Or at least it's supposed to be. I'm not nearly as excited or hopeful as I was for the previous two visits. On the bright side, I won't completely break down if there's some strange turn of events that prevent us from knowing yet again.
Max has been continuing to look better this past week. He was a bit itchy yesterday and the day before because the day before I had a tiny bit of coffee. I'm quite sure at this point that coffee is a strict no-no. That's what experience is telling me. Last time I tried coffee, it was decaf and I noticed a flare up/increased itchiness so I don't think it's a fluke. Unfortunately. Man, I could use a coffee right about now.
I'll try to update tonight, but my friend is coming in from out of town and staying over so we'll see how much time I get versus how much there is to write about versus how excited I am about the news....
Oh, I forgot to mention that I ordered the herbs and supplies to try to make my own sarsaparilla cream. I ordered from Mountain Rose Herbs which is supposed to ship promply within 24 hours so now I go running to the window panting with excitement everytime I hear a truck go by the house. I know it's early since I didn't spring for 2 or 3 day delivery, but I'm hopelessly impatient when it comes to packages so I'll continue to stalk. Besides, I'm also expecting a nice big package of yarn ;)

Hi Jessica,
Hope you got the results you've been waiting for for so long now. As I wrote in another comment, I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are, have a 5 1/2 month old with food allergies and eczema. He also has related digestive problems and nasal congestion. I am very interested in your experience w/ Sarsaparilla. I am very much into alternative medicine, and actually drink Indian Sarsaparilla tea as an immunomodulator. I drank it while pg with him to sustain the pg (my immune system attacks pregnancies and I had at least 3 miscarriages).
If you would like to chat with someone in a similar situation, my email is ewink2@yahoo.com

Nice to meet you Edith! I'm sorry to hear you and your baby are in a similar situation. It's so heartbreaking to see them suffering. Have you found anything that brings him relief?
I just got my package of herbs in the mail today including Mexican Sarsaparilla and Burdock Root (they're supposed to work well together?) and I'm hoping to get a chance to make a salve out of them tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hello really enjoying the info you have here.But also wanted to share my own onformation about great exema and other related stuff on exema.go take a look
I applaud your efforts to care for your son's eczema-and no, I certainly don't think you're a loon for your ideas-you sound like a Mom who is doing her best to be observant and help treat her son.
Keep doing what you're doing and observing-by the look of him in the pics it looks pretty much under control as much as possible.
I was born with a whole host of allergies, and eczema and went thru a terrible time in childhood with it so i feel your pain.I didnt get better til i was a teen,pretty much. I'm 50 years old now and it seems to be flaring up again and i have no idea why-is weird. behind my knees and the crook of my elbows is becoming red and rashy, and itchy-i think I'll try your CLO idea. (sorry bout the tmi-lol)
