Because according to DH I am "being ridiculous"
I have very senstive skin (and I'm a bit overweight) nd last year I got this weird rash on my face which the dermotologist thought was all kinds....anyway...he has now said its a rare thing which is hard to treat but could improve with topical steroids or laser....I have an appointment with him on Monday next week to get some sort of treatment. The rash is only small but as I am so pale it really stands out and I hate it...its hard to cover even with scar cover makeup.
Last night I read on a forum about a woman with a related condition (but less rare) who after thirty years, went on an elimination diet and found massive improvemnet....she was basically allergic to three foods.
I suspect I'm allergic to dairy....maybe other things...the only way to check atm is to eliminate all possibilities for a week....and see what happens...I could wait and ask the doc to refer me for testing but I bet he wont...he's old school...he'll want to zap me with chemicals and light.
DH thinks I am being irresponisble as I will be a nightmare with no coffee or proper food...I plan to eat only raw fruit and veg for three days and then introduce rice....and carry on like that if the rice has no affect...today I have begun the day with coffee with a splash of milk...as a gently way of getting into it....tomorrow I will have no caffeine or milk at all....and continue on.
He thinks this is a recurrence of my anorexia (it's not) I just want clear skin.
