timlovett replied to Caroline Brooks Benson's discussion Support Group"Sure the first thing we did was file for non profit statous so we could have fund raisers.

- I dont have a doctor or insurance, when I did I got medication and treatments now I just SUFFER and because its winter I have a major flare up right now plus stress doesnt help
but im about to try ALOE
I grew a giant aloe plant and now im going to apply that nightly to see if it gives me any relief from the pain and itch at night, its so odd every night at 9pm im itching so bad i cant stand it
I think I will take a picture of one spot on my leg and post it on here and each day post a new one to see what the aloe does or does NOT do lol
hope your day is going well
