I hope you can find a good doctor to work with.

I will never be done with sex! I am ready to have someone else involved in my sex life though. Unfortunately, pandemic life points to at least a year before that might be possible.

I think you are very wise.

You are right, how we feel is much more important than how we look, but I do enjoy looking as good as possible. I would love a few days at the beach - my skin is always happy after spending time in the ocean.

Alexander Bruce - I'm glad you have a vacation to look forward to. Here in California we are in the midst of Covid-19 and unable to travel. I hope your holiday is great for you and your skin!

Yay! I love sharing something that works for me and it's even better that it works for you too!

I find that the fabric content makes a big difference for me, which makes shopping online a bit trickier. I've been buying second hand clothing online which means it has already been laundered and is priced much below retail. And of course, hydrate your skin like crazy before getting dressed!

Hi Lela, my little family is staying home and practicing mindfulness to have the best possible experience. We all want to get out in the world but know that won't happen soon. We send our best to you and everyone here on Flaym.

Deborah, I have friends who say they are "done" with sex and some of them are married!

It's great to find something that works for your skin. Congrats!

Savannah - it is always encouraging to read good news!

Rita - do you burn easily? I generally wear long sleeves and a hat when I'm outside or I'll be pink in minutes.

I love coconut oil! I put it on wet skin straight out of the shower then towel dry/blot so my skin isn't oily feeling.

Still breathing, trying to be mindful of my breath at least a couple times a day. Scientists say that makes a difference and I believe in science!

I'm new to methotrexate. My mom has rheumatoid arthritis and has taken it (changing dosage slightly) for almost 30 years. I don't notice anything different other than heightened concern about my suppressed immune system during a global pandemic.

Alexander- I've never tried light treatment. I tanned as a young person but have been avoiding the sun for the last 30+ years to try and keep my youthful appearance! These days I'm mostly staying at home so no option for a light treatment in the near future. I'm glad it has worked for you.

Thanks Sid. I appreciate your input.

Shaving my legs is a challenge. They don't bleed much, but in the days after I get mini breakouts and my itching is more aggravating. You'd think I would just stop, right? I'm admitting to a bit if vanity. I do love that one day of freshly shaved and soft legs.

Thanks for writing Dave. I'm glad you've found what works for you. So far I'm not having any stomach issues with this medication and I anticipate it will stay that way. Continue to be safe.

I have been home other than doctor visits and a few grocery pickups. Most of our groceries are delivered. My area of central California has been in the news as a Covid-19 hotspot and I'm very concerned for my health and that of my 78 year old mother. Thankfully she lives next door so I am able to keep her stocked with groceries and regular hugs.
