I have psoriasis, so I endure the painful itching rashes, too. Haven't tried zinc yet, but I do get quite a bit of relief from daily warm soaks in water heavily impregnated with Epsom salts. Have you tried that? Coconut oil also seems to relieve my itching, too.

I wanted to tell you that I'm reading Simple Living by Frank Levering and Wanda Urbanska ~ I'm almost done and I'm LOVING the book. Their Virginia farm is right near my hometown so I recognize a lot of the places, etc. I SO agree with most of what they have to say. I GOOGLED Frank & Wanda to see what they're doing now and I was sad to read that they ended up divorced. Oh well, still loving the book ~ will likely finish it tonight. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

It would really be great if you could fit a workshop in this year as our Simple Living Group is growing and there would be a lot of interest in your workshops.Of course, your health and family come first.

I have had a recent skin condition that was particularly painful and I was reccomended to use anti dandruff shampoo - mine is the Palmolive natural one you can get at iga. It was a miracle. I have heard that it can do the same with leg conditions so may be worth a try. Other treatments soothed but didn't eliminate the issue. han_ysichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869649893259740949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-16446387155746239972013-03-25T14:17:11.972+10:002013-03-25T14:17:11.972+10:00I'm so sorry for my oversight Rhonda, silly me...I'm so sorry for my oversight Rhonda, silly me must have missed the post about how & where to book for each session.

Sounds like a busy time ahead so of course don't overdo things or you might end up back to square one. Am glad that your & Ernie's workshops have been so well received. I'll be heading down tomorrow to attend the morning & afternoon sessions, (might as well kill two birds with the one stone & make a day of it). Was I supposed to book myself in for them?
