Kind of like Usama and Osama.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes and the Toad confirmed my idea that the name change only 'took' in Europe. Olay/Ulay has been around for very many years and is generally regarded here as old fashioned but good quality. I can't be sure the formula is the same for you as the European brand but would assume so. Good Luck! :thumbsup:

Funny how some things work for some people and other stuff doesnt. I tried Oil of Ulay a few years ago, it was like insta-itch cream. Nivea on the other hand I found quite helpful

Yes, and have you seen Joanna Luverly Lumleys advertising Astra? I always found it dense and heavy, sort of axle grease, but she has genuinely used it forever and she has ab fabulous skin. Takes all sorts. :)

I would interested in whether anyone finds success with Olay/Ulay

Well, I had my worst eczema itching ever over the weekend. It actually hit me after I rode to work late last week thwen an hour or so Saturday morning followed by 31/2 hours of hell Sunday morning from 3:30am when I woke up sweating. Things had been getting progressively worse through the heat/ humidity and absurd levels of work related stress. I'll finish a round of prednisone tomorrow. I'm going to my doc tonight. I'm thinking its time to see an allergist. I may be screwed on my plan to ride the MS 150 this weekend as well. :(

Have you tried that Elidel stuff yet? Do the benefits outweigh the side effects profile?

:confused: My stepson has no side effects from Elidel. But then again, he might be using a lower concentration than they give adults, and/or not have to use it frequently enough to warrant side effects (we just use it as an occasional spot-treatment.)

Looks like a reaction to the quinine I've been taking. We're gonna try zantec for a while to see if that helps with my prior problems. Blood tests coming to rule out liver causing itching.
