Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 This past week I've been keeping myself really busy. As a kid (age 9 compared to 19) I used to love collecting comic books. So this week I dug all my old comics out from the basement and sorted through them to see if I had anything that was worth any money. I compared some of what I have to whats selling on Ebay. I even bought a few comics off ebay to fill in some holes in my collection etc... I guess my interest was rekindled when I heard about a single comic book selling for a quarter of a million dollars Anyway, i've kept myself really busy, and when my g/f called me yesturday from NH (she's on vacation) and asked how my skin was feeling, I was honestly able to answer " you know... I haven't really thought about it in a few days.. I guess its doing ok " . Its barely hurt at all in the last 4-5 days. Except when I get overheated. Then it still hurts. Anyway, I cant say its been looking any better, and it could just be a coincidence that it hasnt been painful lately... but I wonder if the burning part of cea is linked in any way to worrying about it etc. I don't mean to say that the pain is in my head, but, Effexor is used effectively for Erythromelalgia... Perhaps certain chemicals produced when you worry can cause pain or something. (For instance, Substance P is an important mediator of inflammation and substance P blockers are coming to market not for inflammation but for depression/anxiety) Anyway... I guess alot of its in the attitude. (its probably also helped that i'm lowering my clonidine dose.. that stuff is not my friend!) The only problem is I think I need to find a less expensive habit! Any suggestions? (This week I managed to max out my credit card with this stuff!! Thank goodness I only have a $500 spending limit P.S. I did use the ZNP soap that I bought for a few days. After two days.. Holy Cow was there a serious reduction in redness! It was like night and day. Unfortunately it dried my skin out like crazy.. and a week later its still incredibly dry... which is too bad.. because my skin certainly liked something in it!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 > P.S. I did use the ZNP soap that I bought for a few days. Hey there, Adam! What is ZNP soap? I'm always on the lookout for a soap or cleanser that's a " keeper " in the ol' Jillian medicine chest (it's always touch and go with me concerning this aspect of my skin care routine.) Thanks, Adam! --Jillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
