Progress?

Could I possibly be making progress in my treatment?

In February I had about 14 days of feeling very bad, followed by many days of feeling "okay". I wasn't sure I was clearing. In fact, I was beginning to wonder if I was just having a bad episode before and maybe was blocking the Mucinex treatment by using some product that, unknown to me, has Salicylates in it. When I began to feel bad again I was even more dubious that I was improving. But then, surprisingly, the second round of feeling very bad only lasted about three days and then over the weekend I realized that I was feeling pretty good! So maybe I am clearing?

I also have something else interesting happen, but it may be nothing. I have a skin allergy that I developed at about 18 years old. I have an allergy to the sun. From about this time of year through October, I MUST wear sunscreen all the time or my exposed skin turns red and slightly raised and it ITCHES for about 12-24 hours. I usually figure out that it is time to start wearing sunscreen because I'll get the rash on my hands, face and maybe forearms on a sunny day just going from the house to the van to the van to a store and home again. Well, today was one of those days, however, although I itch a little bit, I have no rash to speak of. It is too soon to tell but I am hoping that maybe my rash is one of my body's weird fibro symptoms. Wouldn't that be awesome! Meanwhile, I still need to find sunscreen. I have some Mary Kay sunscreen from last year (which is what I prefer) but I don't know if it is Sal-free or not.
