Hi, Kacha. My name is Lora. Thanks for responding. I am new here. Have been sticky since March 2011, but I wonder if it's been a subtle thing building for several years. I replaced my water softener in 2009 and was never happy with it because my skin wasn't slick like it should have been. I thought problem was softener, so, had service man come in March 2011 to check. He said all was fine and increased the salt - then I got really sticky.Had another serviceman come and he too said all was well. Haven't used softener since May 2011. In June for a period of 3 weeks I had to shower at other peoples houses due to town water problems. Still was sticky. Trying to eliminate potential source. Went to 3 allopathic doctors - pointless. Put me on tetracycline which made my intestinal discomfort worse. Had dental exam and was first time I've ever had bleeding gums (I can feel it in my mouth). Then went to my accupuncurist and with 3 treatments and digestive herbs he helped the major intestinal discomfort. Two weeks ago talked with a board certified medical intuitive and she told me something was causing my sebaceous gland to over produce one of it's components causing a water proofing of my skin. Last week I went to an internist M.D. who also practices alternative medicine. He tested my accupuncture meridians with a machine and my chi in intestines was low (as my accupuncturist also noted but wasn't able to increase with 3 treatments) and he gave me a homeopathic solution and some tablets for a parasite cleanse. (I'm on day 3) He also tested me for food allergies and did a hair analysis. I get results in August. My History: In 2003 I had surgery and radiation for early stage breast cancer. In 2004 I started getting annual infections in my eyelids - right eye, then left, then right, then left. The last one (2008) I was able to get rid of on my own, but a week later I developed an infection in my nose that later tested MRSA staph. I was cleared in 2009. So, I wonder if something has gradually been building in my system. Wonder if I, or someone else, has used something on, or in me (hospital). The serratia marcescens bacterium theory sounds interesting. Makes me wonder if it's the common denominator that has been present in any number of products that we have all used, or been used on us. I don't know, and unfortunately, there seems to be little help to assist us in determining the source. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that is going to lead to something positive.I don't like that I give it so much of my attention. I try one route; when it fails I get anxious and upset, and the cycle continues. I don't know what my next plan is, but I will definitely keep you informed. I hope it is as easy as a food allergy reaction. You say you have M.E. What is that?
