Fasting / Anxiety / Depression / Remission
Hello Group,
My sd hasn’t been that bad over the past 6 months to a year but I
was relying on protopic at least once a week. The day I would use it
my face would burn and itch, the next day my skin would be irritated
red and my pores would look bigger, and by the third day everything
would start to settle down, so about 4 good days a week with very
minimal sd symptoms.
Anyway, I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life
but hate taking medicine for it. Well it’s been about 5 years since
my last round of antidepressants and anti anxiety meds, and I
finally decided to give it a go again. Amazingly enough after about
2 weeks on Wellbutrin and ativan my sd symptoms started taking
longer and longer to reappear. Sometimes I can go almost a month now
before I need to use protopic.
I also have these bumps by my elbows and up my forearm that are
there pretty constant, almost look like mosquito bites. When they
fade away new ones pop up, so I don’t get to wear short sleeve
shirts very often. Anyway, after being on Wellbutrin and Ativan for
a few months I decided to go on a juice fast for a week to clean out
my body (was eating quite a bit of junk). Within 3 days the bumps on
my arms went away and my skin felt it’s best in years. I was so
happy. My skin looked great. Well I went on vacation and threw any
kind of diet out the window. My face stayed pretty good except when
I drank alcohol,that dried it out a bit, but my arms broke out again
within 2 to 3 days. I think I’m concluding myself that my sd is
probably related to a food intolerance along with my anxiety and
depression issues, and my other rashes on my arms is definitely from
food intolerance. I’m going to experiment again soon.
Hope everyone out there is having good luck with their sd going
away. Don’t give up !!!
