Lora, here. Kacha, so very sorry you've had a relapse. I hope you're doing better now. I've been wondering how you've been doing. I don't remember if I already asked you (and I'm too lazy to read all previous posts), but did you get tested for mercury in your body? And, if so, how were you tested?
Regarding the lips: My bottom lip is decreased in size. My lips were cracking, peeling, swollen, bleeding - VERY painful. I noticed this expecially after having been outside (aggravated by moisture in air??). A couple weeks ago I came across something suggesting cleaning lips with dish detergent and then coating with vaseline. I was a little leary about using the vaseline, but my lips were so bad I figured it couldn't be worse. So, I have been using just the vaseline and haven't had any problems so far with the cracks. My feeling was that something from my saliva was coating my lips sucking out the moisture. That's what this ugly thing seems to do - sucks my skin dry, but can't use any moisturizer or I get the fluid filled little pimples big time. I'm taking lots of digestive enzymes and probiotics for the digestive problems. Need to get back on the other supplements for adrenals. I don't know.
From the reading I've done, I'm still wondering if this isn't mercury related because mercury poisoning can cause yeast overgrowth (candidas) as the body tries to protect against the mercury. And mercury has a bad effect on the minerals in the body, as well as many other bad effects on various body systems.
My last meridian testing (I think you had the same testing) showed all was well except for the dental meridian. My doctor had me do a urine test where a substance was first administered to pull mercury out if it was there and then measured in my urine. Results showed high levels of mercury (a previous hair analysis test did not show the mercury). I saw a dentist who took an electric reading (don't understand this) of my teeth and one tooth had an extremely high charge showing metals in my mouth or other substances were reacting to each other causing a high current in my mouth. I'm having the crown checked out tomorrow and after I get it out, my doctor is having me do oral chelation to get the mercury out of my body. I hope this will solve all this shit. I'm still sticky - really sticky today, but I ate very poorly over the weekend. I've not been good about not eating yeast and sugar (I have bad yeast overgrowth from blood test). I miss so much the pleasure I used to get from taking a shower or soaking in a bath.
Regarding the hormone relationship: My radiation treatments 8 years ago threw me into menopause. So, I don't know. Maybe your hormones change the body's environment and the ugly sticky demon rears its ugly head in response. I don't know.
To ICKY - Thank you for your response about the testosterone. I will try that avenue next - get my hormonal levels checked.
