Hydration or Lack Of


There is nothing like "Good lotion". And when I say that I am referring to a name brand like Vaseline in Cocoa Butter. I waited awhile before I had enough to "splurge" on the item. Which was about a few months. In the interim it was plain old generic and before that just the vaseline.

On prednisone you can get really dehydrated. You constanstly feel wet because you are simply sweating non-stop, so it may come as a surprise. But you are dealing with dehydration on a daily basis simply by the Amount that you can sweat. Your skin takes a beating, period.

Sometimes the best things for your feet and hands are anything with zinc oxide in it. And it can be generic, I haven't seen much of a difference. So Equate brand Diaper Rash Relief lathered up on your feet at night and then covered with socks will keep the heels from crackiing to the bone.

It seems like a simple and odd thing to post about but hopefully if you are ever in the situation or find yourself unable to even get your favorite expspensive lotion, you won't have to suffer.
