Re: [sebderm] DOING GOOD/THANK YOU

[Guest guest]

becky, good for you ! but just one thing without trying to be negative.

if and lets not hope so you have a reoccurrence, what are you going to pu

it down to. whats stopped working? and how do you juggle all the therapies

youre puting on your face. it's just that we all drink lots of water ,eat

low carb diets , avoid alcohol, put on jojoba,try protopic etc etc and in

the end were so confused whats the right things and wrong things for us to

try and a what to avoid. ive tried the diary thing,and noted what ive done

and eaten but one week what was good is not good the next. i hope all

goes well but for me the amount of things youre doing would just confuse

the sh*t ot of me when i get the awful reoocuurence or my skin susses out

the treatment . not being hard on you just curiuos and concerned for

you.how do others monior whAts works for them or when it stops working and

how do theyt recognise which one of the 5 to ten things we all do at once

has stoppped working.

Hey ,

I totally understand. This is acctually much easier tham anything

perscribed by the dr. I only do the face thing at night only, wash, mask

and then put the oil on. I usually let the mask dry while I am checking my

email :-} As to it not working anymore, I'll cross that bridge when I get

there. This is the first time in four years I have been happy with my

face!!
