What do I wear?

I used to wrap myself in dressings (tubifast is amazing...seriously best invention ever), and then wear a loose shirt/pants over it.  Dressings helps keep the moisture in, lessens the damage when I scratch, and my skin generally feels a lot better when it is wrapped...kind of like a second skin that covers my damaged skin.  But recently, I'm getting these prickly feelings all over...and it makes it difficult to wrap myself without feeling like a cactus trying to wear clothes.

I've bought several of these towel wraps:



They are amazing!!  I spend my days lounging around in them...I even sleep in them.

For me, it's better than wearing no clothes at all because when I don't wear anything, my inner upper arms stick to to the side of my chest, and both sides get hot and itchy.  I don't like it when my skin touches another part of my skin...when I sleep, I use part of the towel and put it between my legs so my thighs dont touch each other.  When I am up and about they don't touch each other though...only when I sleep on my side.

The towel that I bought is 100% cotton, and it is really soft and not scratchy (I know sometimes towels get scratchy...I was worried about that but thankfully it was not one of those towels!).

Positive thought of the day:  I found out that I love eating crisps.  I never used to eat them before, but my dear parents have been buying foods that I can eat; right now, I can't open my mouth more than a pinky-wide to eat because my skin is so tight, so I can only eat things that are small and flat...= crisps!!  I eat the healthy kind (haha healthy kind of crisps...that is like saying the healthy kind of cake)...no salt, and baked not fried...just potatoes and olive oil.  I think they are making me fat, but it's okay.  I'd rather be fat than have horrible skin...any day.
