Noticed my nails don’t really grow anymore.
I’m new here my EM started a month ago
Started on my hands, I was a bartender (had to quit) my hands would first get really itchy and swell pretty bad (I worked the weekend so 3 days back to back) by the third day my hands would be so hot and they would burn for three days and then once the trigger stopped, they would deflate and kinda shock then be okay. This happened for three weeks back to back. At the time my car also had no AC which is what I believe triggered everything. Also constantly holding cold things for 9 hrs I think caused a trigger flare.
At the time I thought it was eczema so I was also adding a lot of creams and the creams made me flare up pretty bad. Until the day I noticed so I stopped using the creams.
I quit. It’s been two weeks, the last day I worked I think the stress triggered the EM to travel to my feet.
Now I experience blood pooling and I can’t really wear socks or shoes walking is hard. The outside heat really triggers my hands and feet but I don’t really flare for hours or days. My extremities just get hot and a little itchy and once I’m in ac it cools down.
I take warm showers but I have a chair that I sit on and elevate my feet.
Water really dries out my hands but I can sleep under covers with slight slight discomfort.
Really really thinking about doing bobs protocal but I want to speak with my derm first (appointment in a week)
Also have a question has anyone’s toes nails kept growing definitely concern for me.
Also feet don’t flare at night for me
Did anyone else start this way
