I know for my self that I have been having major skin problems. Mainly very dry skin and breakouts. I looked this up on the web and found out that this is a very common problem when under stress. I also would appreciate if anyone would share any foods or supplments that helped with energy. "He that respects himself is safe from others; He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce".

I got a 1% hydrocortisone cream for sensitive skin. I also took evening primrose oil but havent bothered with that for a while. As I also have psorisis I use copious amounts of moisturer (unperfumed) everytime my hands get wet to stop the cracking, and use gloves for almost any activity involving water and/or chemicals. Recovered marriage, recovering self, life gets better everyday

I take a lot of vitamins too, calcium to offset the acid produced by stress and a b-complex to help with stress, and a multi vitamin. I also took 5-htp to help relax, its like the tryptophan in turkey.

I decided to invest in me. I wasn't able to eat much but I made sure it was good the little I DID eat. Veggies, balanced meals etc. Took a multivitamin supp too. Virtually gave up alcohol, drank herbal infusions instead ( you soon get used to them, and camomile for example is a great natural sleep aid). Once drugs controlled my gout and diet controlled my IBS i started working out. Got really fit, exploited my huge weight loss on the "A-plan" diet I had to start valuing myself. I felt great and it made me strong for the fight. Do that pumkin. All blessings. MB Alumni

I live in Tennessee in a kind of rural area so few opportunities exsist. Any other suggestions? "He that respects himself is safe from others; He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce".
