i have a small tin of pure shea butter in my purse for every time i wash my hands. i have no idea how others wash their hands without needing moisturizer every single time. i could never.......

in the lab, the stockroom carries or at least carried (they're always removing something from the inventory) a very nice cream from VWR, softguard. doesn't say what's in it, but the way it forms a barrier, think it contains dimethicone like the udder cream; that's what it feels like.

as for the P on your elbows, think the simponi should help. my elbows were great while on the methylpred. now the left one is going through a bit of a rough patch; but it usually doesn't last too long. just gotta keep it lathered up.
