Crepey Skin
I am 52- female. I have degenerative arthritis, 3 fractured and compressed vertebrae, 2 other fractured vertebrae, (wear complete back brace), TMJ, replaced right knee, shoulder surgery, radical hysterectomy, ( 1 year ago, not allowed to take hormones pesrcription or sipplements due to beast cancer), breast cancer survivor,(35 radiation treatments 2 years ago), thyroid cancer (unable to get rid of), since 1989 - 9 - I131 treatments, fybroidmyalgia, 3 fractures in right thumb recently repaired with tendon replacing joint and pin surgery, partial epilespy, clinical depression (fiance and friend of 8 years died 7 days before wedding 3 years ago), joint issues, chronic insomnia, broken left hand (10 years ago, pin surgery), neuropathy, high blood pressure, low iodine.
NOW crepey skin.
WHAT can I do about the skin issue?
I drink 1 gallon of H2O a day, eat well, ride bike, walk, combat acupuncture, mediatation, caffeine only occasionaly - tea with honey, daily oranges and 1 apple, female mature complete vitamin, flax seed and fish oil, and of course many perscription medications for above issues.
Skin issue started 6 months ago.
I am on SSDI, all doctors are at Veterans Hospital and are great and free. I am a vet of 13 years (left due to cancer).
I am barely making it financialy actually not really and I live minamaly and am in debt from heating bills etc - fortunately no credit cards or bills from them, or student loans (I was a psycothrepist).
I can not really afford fancy surgery or moisturizers.
Anyone have any ideas about this, just arms and hands so far.
THANK YOU ANYONE!

Oh my gosh Kathy you have been through a lot! I also had a hysterectomy 10 years ago and my skin became crepey, thin and saggy in a matter of months. I lost a lot of hair too and the front section turned gray, also within months of surgery. I was horrified how much and how quickly I aged! I take estrogen but it hasn't seemed to improve the situation.
I wish I had some answers for you. If you find anything that helps, please share. I will do the same.
