Plan

[cosmolinguist]

Google says the thing making my feet horrible is probably... eczema! "Often caused by stress." Well, that explains why it first arrived when my parents visited! (Yes I know that was a long time ago. It's been flaring up and then almost-going-away ever since and every time it goes away I think it'll stay away and at least I'm doing something about it now.)

Can't even really make a GP appointment until I have a better idea of what my schedule will be like. Nnnrgh.

Plus I already have a follow-up appointment about my new meds, a smear test, and my first meeting with the Disabled Students Office this week, which is quite enough Health Work to be getting on with right now.

By the end of the week I will definitely know my class schedule (since it starts the week after that!) and will be able to make an appointment about my horrible feet. So at least I have a plan.

Best wishes for a busy week, and I hope your feet can be sorted out quickly.

Yeah, all this on top of my freshers week stuff is pretty intimidating. And that's even before I have to be performatively excited to the people who expect me to be (mostly parents).

Oh-deity/-iesofyourchoice-yes the performatively excitedness...

I hope the GP is useful when you get there.

Good luck with GP.

And if this is overly helpy, ignore this but having asthma and hay fever which runs in the family and exzema which is that family of ailments, E45 or similar may be helpful to make you more comfortable. Look at what you're using in the shower and find exzema friendly soap and consider cutting down on diary. I found minimising diary made my asthma less shit easier to manage
