My fav thing about having type 2 inflammation is how patients knew it existed before doctors did.
Patients had stomach problems/IBS, allergies, asthma, eczema, etc., and when they went to the doctor to get oral medication for their asthma, they noticed their eczema would clear up.
The doctors were like you're lying, it's a coincidence, you're just less stressed.
Then, it turned out, no, these things are all tied together, and there are medications (usually biologics) that can tamp down the immune reactions that happen simultaneously all over the body.
Some doctor could have figured this out years ago if they just listened to their patients connecting the dots.

ive been having an allergic reaction on my hands for 18 hours now. wtf bro 🥲 this was from this morning, you can see how swollen my hands are and i have a weird rash too. not sure what's going on or if it's related to dyshidrotic eczema bc i have that rn too but normally that's just intensely itchy little bumps on my fingers and not the swelling or rashes

Well my car broke down in traffic and then broke down two more times in the parking lot and the shop has no idea what’s wrong, I need to take my cat to the vet, and I’m currently disabled (but with a diagnosis! So that’s progress!) and completely unemployed so if anyone could spare literally a dollar to my P*ypal @charliew86 that would be massively appreciated

i used to get eczema on my hands occasionally when i was at uni and i think i've had one or two flare ups since i left but over the past few weeks it's just gotten so extreme like the worst it's ever been and it's spread to my chest now and like i truly cannot find the cause. when i was in uni i would get flare ups from stress or caffeine or a few things i was allergic to but i've changed out all my soaps and stuff and i've cut out caffeine and the only thing stressing me out is the eczema so like i have absolutely no idea what's causing it or why it's so bad. help.

my mole is looking kinda weird i'm gonna see if it changes in the next few days and then see a doctor 👍 it could be that my eczema is flairing up right beneath it because the band of my pants goes right over it and it always activates when i'm stressed 👍

HELLO, I’ve been in this eczema situation- taking vitamin d with vitamin k helps THE MOST (a good brand with a USP seal or look at Labdoor) -When having a night alone, moisturize heavily and put on cheap knit winter gloves before bed (A&D ointment from the baby aisle is good, but smells & has fish oil) -Avoid washing hands or dishes in super hot water, do warm water -Spray hand sanitizer instead of gel -Get gentle hand soap (any gentle bar soap or ethique liquid hand soap concentrate) -Gold bond eczema lotion after showering or washing hands -Before chores or anything that might irritate hands, apply a thin layer of lanolin, vaseline, coconut oil, etc. (don’t do this before sex if it will be bad for your partner, or damage toys or condoms/barriers) IF ANY ECZEMA REMAINS, YOU EARNED IT, BE PROUD
Im -- i don't know what to do with all this -- thank you?? None of this applies to me as i am neither a slut nor eczema-having but with the amount of new followers ive gotten due to that eczema fingering post im sure that'll help someone. Medical advice from a kind anon. For free on this blog
