I keep having mystery rashes every weekend, and we haven't figured out what's triggering it yet because I have been doing different stuff every time it happens.

Take pictures to show your doctor. Do you do your laundry on Friday? Could be your detergent.

I'm crossing my fingers I win a bid to replace one of my Ghoulias, a nude because I have her stuff, I am not satisfied with the look of the reroot and want my old girl back. The reroot will be off to a new home. It's not Murky.

I usually do it on thurday/friday, but I only get the rashes on my hands and wrists.
I'm prolly going to an allergy specialist at some point since my doctor is equally bumfuzzled.

[DollyKim]

Meanwhile change your detergent and any other laundry products to something hypoallergenic. The doc will probably want you to list the things you get your hands in any way.

[Kirahfaye]

Don't forget that something you have been using for years could suddenly cause an allergic reaction, also. That includes hand lotions, soaps, hair products, makeup, etc.

Sometimes it just doesn't make sense. I have to use hypoallergenic detergent while hand soap doesn't seem to affect me. Go figure ....

My mother used to get rashes on her hands and wrists from washing dishes. It took her awhile to figure it out. Just throwing another idea at you.

I decided to rearrange my home office/sewing room and the weaving/guest room. My stuff inhabits both rooms. And now the doll stuff is totally out of hand. The clutter is driving me nuts.

So,

This morning I emptied and moved two bookcases, went through my old college books and saved only the ones I really still want (5 1/2 paper grocery sacks for the library book sale).
I've have exiled the reference books for genealogy that I have not looked at in 6 months to their proper room (but not on the shelves yet).

I have another shelf to move so I can put the file drawers back in the cabinet I moved so then I can measure and make a "stage" for shooting doll stuff that has much better light then my stepson's dresser in the room he's not using because he's away at college.

Also, I need to make the math quilt for said stepson. Which means I have to put away all the stuff that is piled on my sewing table due to cleaning so I can turn the table around and get to the big sewing machine. But wait! There still is not room to move the table until I ......

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

I need minions.

its a different situation each time. once after working outside and taking a shower, last week coming home from a festival, the next day at a different festival. yesterday was at a grocery store. that's whats been the bugaboo, we have been trying to figure out the common thread, but other then being only on my hands and wrists, its been different situations each time.

Hand sanitizer? That might be a common thread.

knittnkitten - Things that I could think of that give me rashes are: stress, heat, and allergies. I just mention these because the rash from stress and heat appears on my hand/wrist, so maybe it's similar?
