-
- I have a horrible case of eczema. I have had my fill of dermatologists. Only
-
- prednisone has seemed to abate the worst aspects. I looked into Job's and Buckley's
-
- syndromes. My allergist said that my tests show an overactive immune system, but
-
- the levels were not so high that it was a "syndrome." I will be seeing another
-
- dermatologist next week, and I will be going to a nutritionist as well. Only the
-
- nutritionist seemed to be optimistic about reducing outbreaks via diet. The dermatolo-
-
- gy community seems not to believe much can be done. The allergist wants me to go to
-
- a place in NYC/Long Island that is experimenting in double-blind food testing.
-
- Any ideas/experiences that will help me out?
-
- Happy Holidays.
