I have no ideal how long I have suffered from this nightmare but I can say that it became very clear in 2009. I went down hill fast and had no clue what was happening to me. I tried everything I could to heal myself. I realized that I was just making things worse. I was applying things to my skin that most people would never dream of using. This really made the whole situation worse. Over the past year things have improved. My best advice or at least what I can share with you is the following: try not to stress too much as it seemed to make my situation worse...find something to do that requires you to think about something else because those of us who suffer from this know that it is constantly all we think about and we are constantly examining ourselves, Second of all try to treat your skin gently. I am using a soap that is made of charcoal and sold at Walmart , made by Biore. They have several things made with the charcoal and all of them are marvelous. I am using tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner, these can purchased many places, I use the ones sold at Sport Clips but only because my sister works there and I get a 50 percent discount. I am washing my clothes in Borax and I was everything daily. I keep my hair short now and my nails trimmed short. I pay special attention to my feet and use Epsom Salt with Lavender about 3 times a week to soak my feet. I drink lots of water, filtered water. I also drink a glass of aloe vera juice every day. I am excersising daily and I make sure to get some sun shine every day...vitamin D is great. Some final things I do...eat cilantro in everything lol and garlic and jalapenos. I don't know if this has made a big difference but it is delicious ..so yay for something positive here. Find a good vitamin supplement and take them daily. Eat healthy...that is my advice. I have gone from being held prisoner to my room, afraid to go in public..to actually working full time in the public and face to face with others. It is going great. My face is healed completely. I do have to wear long sleeves as some of the leisions on my arms are still there but they are healing. The scars still embarrass me so I may always wear long sleeves. I am happier and healthier. I hope maybe some of this will help you. God bless us all.
