Walking around the house in a night shirt and a dressing gown

For one thing, I would never just drop in on someone without first calling or better yet wait to be invited!! Especially if they know that your not feeling the greatest right now. The very least they could do is call and ask you if you are up to company. That way if your not, you can very politely say maybe another night. Sometimes I just don't understand why people are so insensitive. Hoping you are better soon.. J

hi jugsjugs I can sympathize but I only had one leg like that from what the doctor said was an allergy to something, the thing is he started me on steriod tablets last thursday which have almost cured the red swollen itching brokenout leg but the bad thing is i am a diabetic. Steroids shoot your blood sugar up sky high which my doctor did not word that way he just said they will make your blood sugar raise. but they skyrocketed, I ended up going to the emergency room at noon and just got back, My blood sugar was 390 and my blood pressure 210 over 68, My head was splitting, now I feel so much better, they had to give me two insulin injections, an injection for high blood pressure and and an Iv of normal saline. well now i feel well again and my leg is almost healed. I hope yours heals as rapidly but without steroids those things are dangerous.jugsjugs send those people

If you cannot have time to yourself, perhaps a long cottony skirt that does not touch anything would make you feel like you were covered up for company. I know how it feels to have to put on a face for drop ins.

Sorry to hear you feel uncomfortable. Probably you could post a notice on your door stating, "Please no visitors!" I am always amazed at how many people open the door just become somebody rings. I hardly ever do. If they call ahead and I am expecting them, that is something else. But I do not allow pop-ins as a rule.

I walk around the house in my pj's most of the time unless I am expecting someone. When I come in the house from being out I change into something comfortable and stay that way. Sometimes I will not even change when someone comes over. It depends on who that person is. I don't change what I am wearing for my sister, but for the landlord I would.

You need to wear what is comfortable to you not your friends. I would think after seeing your legs they'd understand. If you are covered there should be no problem unless they are not really friends. Do take care of those legs. quita88

My husband and I live in a really small apartment, and we don't entertain at home. If people want to see us, we will go out and meet them. My suggestion is that you tell people to call first, and not just pop in. If you don't want people in the house, then don't let them in. As for me, I like to be comfortable in my own home, therefore, I walk around naked.

I am so sorry about your condition right now. As far as I know there is no real cure for psoriasis. It is basically an allerigc reaction to something in your environment. I had a grandmother who had that disease when she was alive. It took her several years to really get rid of that as there is an ointment prescribed for her that she used for sometime before it finally subsided.

Maybe if you just call anyone that you think might drop by, and tell them how you are feeling, then they won't come over. I am sure that they would understand if you just said something to the extent of how you are feeling, and that you wanted to find out if they were coming over before you change into something more comfortable. That is of course, if the people that are always dropping by are your friends. Then that would work. However, if it is someone else in the households friends or family, then you probably would feel like it would be an appropriate phone call to make. I hope you get some rest and that your skin can heal, at least a little bit. Good luck to you, my friend!

then stop walking for a few days take rest and then start again when you feel alright tc enjoy TATA

Feel better! There is nothing worse than not being able to relax by lying around the house, resting, and healing. That sounds like exactly what you need. Perhaps you could tell your visitors ahead of time that you're not feeling good and not having any company today? Maybe they will allow for you to have a day or two to yourself to relax and get refreshed. I'm not familiar with your skin condition, but I know what it's like to be uncomfortable in that way! I hope you heal very soon, my friend.

What kind of skin condition do you have? It sounds painful, I'd say just do whatever makes you more comfortable its your house. If anyone comes over just tell them what's going on and your trying to keep yourself comfortable and pain free as much as possible and if they don't like it then they don't have to stay..

They don't just walk in I hope. I would think that 'friends' would be considerate and you would have time to either just go in the other room or get something else on. Isn't there a summery day dress you could wear? Something light and cottony that you could wear. I mean instead of night shirt and dressing gown.

Cant you wear the night shirt and when company comes throw a light sheet over your self.

Hi Jugs I actually wear what I call leisure Clothes in the House, which is normally my PJ's I like to be comfortable I do not have many People coming to mine but if I should have unexpected well I am still decent

I generally stay dressed till just before bed (in shorts and t-shirt) then I put on my nightshirt and head to bed. In the mornings I am dressed and showered by 7am...if anyone shows up before then, I don't answer the door. Of course most ppl that know me know I prefer company and phone calls between 9am-9pm.

It's your house and you should dress the way you please. Your medical condition excuses you from the normal considerations you would be expected to make. Why are there so many people popping in, don't they call before to see if you want visitors? I hope you feel better by now, I'm a bit behind in my notifications.

Can you not wear a bathrobe or housecoat over your nightshirt or dressing gown? I guess they would touch your skin in some way, too, wouldn't they? It's just a suggestion, though. I was thinking that you would be presentable for company at least. I would just do like another mylotter suggested. Call the people you think might come to see you and tell them you just don't feel like company right now. I'm sure they will understand. Like I said in my last post, I sure hope you get to feeling better. Kathy.

I am so sorry to hear about how bad your skin is feeling! I can relate. I had shingles years ago and it was the most painful horrible condition. Luckily, I caught it early and started the medicine the same day the symptoms first showed up but still had a miserable week. I had to stay home since I was contagious to many as shingles is a form of chicken pox. I had it on my upper back and shoulders so I wore only a t-shirt as I was home. And wouldn't you know it, I had visitors more than usual just drop by. Needless to say, I was nice but made them leave fairly soon. Maybe your husband can give the word out that this isn't the best week for a drop in visit? Hopefully you won't have a whole week of misery like I did. In addition to the burning weeping rash, it also felt like I was being electrocuted every 5 seconds as the nerves were firing constantly. One of the most humbling experiences of my life and it's still a vivid reminder of just how much good health is worth!! I'll say a prayer that it heals quickly and that you feel much better soon. Take care!!

Are people comming to visit because they know you aren't feeling well? If so, I am sure they would understand if you are not dressed as usual. If not, maybe you could contact them in some way and ask them not to visit right now as you are not yourself.
