Many thanks for the replies here. I meant contribute as add my thoughts or comments-so all is good, but thanks for clarifying.
As I write I seem to be experiencing a flare-up for the first time in months. Last script I got ointment instead of gel (yes-I take what I get given!). I don't know if it is coincidence or not. My feet are not too bad but hands are busy destroying themselves and the itches are back.
I wonder if it is triggered by diet as well as seasonal. It can be worse in winter but also can be bad in summer-its now Autumn -so no reckoning there.
The worse bit is the thousand and one paper-cuts which bleed and cause pain to the point of not wanting to handle even the smallest object. I have not got that just yet but this usually follows the current phase.
The good news is things are fine otherwise and glad I was not born in the age of leper colonies!!!
