I have eczema, meaning I have dry and itchy skin on different parts of my body, but mostly my lower legs and feet.
My doctor has said that there is no real cure, and that I will most likely be dealing with this condition for the rest of my life, however to combat this, I frequently go barefoot, crank the cooling system in our apartment, and use the air conditioning on the primary areas throughout the day.
But since I am always using the a/c, it has recently started to randomly turn off after I have turned it on, then it also will occasionally smoke from the back of the unit, so I have been looking for a upgrade. I walked downtown yesterday in order to look for a upgrade, and instead happened across our local Heating and A/C organization. I asked them if they would be able to upgrade an a/c wall unit. Instead, they showed me the newest models of heating and cooling units, that have both heating and cooling capabilities. Both of the models that I saw were well under my budget, so I opted for the one that included smart thermostat technology, so that I can control the temperature from my phone! I am so pleased with this decision, as they also sent an HVAC tech to install it for me, and showed me how to control it and set it up with an app. That evening, I was able to sleep through the evening with the a/c on full blast, helping to keep my eczema skin comfortable.
