Nothing like a cuddle from DD after a hard day's work!

Can totally sympathise with you TD as DD has bad eczema and is constantly itchy. Maybe do what i do and apply the cream for him and put bandages on his hands so he doesnt itchy LOL (wonder how your DH will like being treated as a 2 yr old?)
eeeeeeeewww. I'm not touching it. I know it doesn't bite, but there is no way i am touching it.
He needs to apply the cream, once per day and that is when he goes to bed. How friggen hard is that. I even put the jar on the bedside table to remind him. He cancels drs appts and won't go. I am totally and utterly fed up. When he does apply the cream and his shins look normal again, i praise and thank him for doing so (yep, just like a child) and then he doesn't do it for some time.
Tinks, he hasn't been to the light therapy but i think that was one of the roads the dermatologist is going to take. You know, if he just applied the cream, he'd be right.
Thanks girls. i think this was more of a vent.
I might have to start a reward system for him (like i did with DS, to get him to sleep on his own bed).
Ummm if he is taking methotrexate for his p, then he is being really irresponsible by not having his appointments. Other meds for it aren't as bad, but you can't assume that meds will take care of it. I have just gotten myself to 97% clear after over a year of hard work with applying topicals and the buck stops with you. If you want to be clear, then you need to use the creams.
that's the one Trill. He is hopeless. We would've spent thousands of dollars on his p and it kills me knowing its gone to waste. It is him who wants to go to the drs and so we do. He drops out after a few months and then a few months later he wants to go again and i tell him the truth that he never follows orders and then i'm the baddy!
I'm going to tell him about how you've managed to clear almost all of it up in one year. It might prompt him again. He has a drs appt in early feb, which we've had to reschedule because he couldn't be bothered going to the original appt in November. His dr is always fully booked.
Hun, does he have blood tests to make sure that his liver and kidney function is OK? MTX isn't a drug you take lightheartedly. It can do serious and irreperable damage if not taken under strict monitoring. I had to have a blood test once a month to make sure that all my levels were fine. I just had an appointment on Tuesday and I am allowed to have a break from it to see how it goes without the MTX and I couldn't be happier to be off it, you aren't even supposed to drink alcohol because of the extra burden it places on an already stressed liver.
