Above is a photo of a pretty similar affect light stroking can have on Lucy's skin when she's flaring. Obviously its NOT her arm, but I dont have the photos of her skin on the computer anymore so this will have to do. :)
I am not really ready to say nay or yay on Lucy's new medicine. Its completely eliminated the hives on her lips- she looks so pretty! Haha! And I have seen a reduction in the dermatographism. I put it to the test tonight and gave her a bath- she hived up but they were lighter and lasted half as long as they normally would. So that is good news. Unfortunately Lucy has been a real grouch all day long, has been drinking double her usual formula intake(her typical soothing method), and has some small rashy dots on her face. Its possible her body is starting to react to the new medicine. If that's the case, its pretty unfortunate, since we are seeing some relief in many of the skin issues Lucy deals with on a daily basis. I am not going to pull the plug just yet, my goal is to keep on until at least Monday no matter what. I want to be 100% positive its a fail before I pull it. Keep your fingers crossed and prayers going that Lucy will tolerate this medicine!!!
