Pooky, I did read that last night about agnus castus I best not try that then. I may look at getting an appointment soon with my/a gp. Some symptoms I couldn't care less if the vit/min can help however its my acne and periods I want sorting, which CD did. I will keep you all updated

Thanks Bunny. Will one single shake be enough or will I still need three? I too was planning on having a pre-made shake for breakfast once I got to goal. Hasn't quite worked out like that though I guess its worth a go as I still have 30 packets here? What do you think? Or should I just go to my gp anyway? I don't know if its iron I am lacking, all I know is when I was on CD my body 'righted' itself and most of my symptoms subdued or disappeared. So its something in CD

If your skin is really dry Katsu it may very well be that it is extremely dehydrated and you need moisture! Drink more water and stop the cream from the dr and try a facial oil. When your skin is really dry, it tries to make its own moisture and can only make oil, hence the spots.

Diet will play a part as well...

I've had very dry skin for years - I can often rub skin flakes off it (nice I know) especially after a shower. I've not had such bad spots before - I don't think even my teenage spots were this bad.

My skin really does need moisturiser but it is difficult to find one that suits the parched skin and doesn't overload my chin.

I really feel my skin is rubbish - I have obvious blocked pores on my nose and out onto my cheeks - maybe I should just wear a paper bag and have done ?

Try a facial cleansing oil like the dermologica one or something else? Do you mean an oil that stays on as a moisturiser? If you can recommend anything in particular I'm happy to try it.

I had high hopes for the Liz Earle cleanser - it isn't an oil, it is a wash off cream but I felt (having tried it for a few days) that it left my chin feeling "matt" - not greasy or dry. However it wasn't stopping the hideous whiteheads that were returning, hence the decision to go back on the antibiotic cream. Already, 3 day in and the whiteheads are 90 x better than they were - it is just about getting them to stay sorted.

I'm a vegetarian so maybe I need to keep taking the vitamin pills. I've also been eating a lot of ready meals and hotel food due to crazy work travel recently - could that be why this month the spots came back?

I used to get the most horrible spots when I ate anything with yeast in...along with a lot of other symptoms.....now I've stopped eating it I'm spot free....if only I'd have made the connection years ago!

morning peeps - it's hailing in not so sunny suffolk.

Boost your EFA's-so eat avacado, olive oil etc. They will help.

Boosting vitamins etc will def help skin but like anything, its not an overnight thing. I have heard really good things about the LE cleanser, I know Clarins do an oil, and Decleor and Vie at Home do one as well (I have some here I could post you to try but its been open a while-wont be off but not brand new iykwim)

pooky, I have heard that before but personally, life without yeast would just be not worth living! LOL! ~No bread? No beer? No wine????

gaaaaaah

Morning.

Katsu, glad it's a bit better this morning.

I've got my writer's group this afternoon, I'll be getting some feedback about the first chapter of my book which I gave them last time, eek!
