I've been watching the comments posted here for quite some time. I had really bad sticky skin for almost three years. After my last visit to the doctor he suggested that I go see a psychiatrist because repeated blood work showed nothing wrong.
Normally I don't like taking medication but out of desperation I asked him to give me some strong antibiotics. He gave me four days worth of Erythromycin tablets, some kind of a slow release antibiotic that you take two pills once a day.
After a couple days the stickyness cleared up almost completely. I used to have a stiff neck and lower back, and sore joints along with constant nasuea flatulence and dizzyness/brain fog. All that has gone now. Even my skin color is normal now, pink not yellowish orange and waxy looking. When I returned to the doctor a week later the only thing he said was 'huh, you may have had a low grade infection'. I was a kind of angry because they couldn't find anything wrong before, but also happy cause I was feeling normal after three years of stickyness.
This was about a month ago, the skin on my hands and forehead are even starting to peel and it doesn't look thin and stretchy anymore, I even fall asleep at night easier now and don't feel so fatigued all the time. I think it will take some time to fully recover from this ordeal physically and mentally, and I don't know exactly what caused it in the first place. I suspect it may have come from eating too many raw vegetables that may have got contaminated with something but who knows.
