Hi Everyone This is Diane: Kacha I read your comments sorry to hear of your longsuffering. I had hoped for a centralized and organized "symptom/drug allergy/products used" checklist initiative on this website, however, it takes a computer literate person to do the initial setup. Sadly, I am not computer savvy to initiate it or it would have been done months ago by me. I can barely navigate google. In an effort to update everyone I received my lab results from the Vitamin A and TSH, T3, T4. All four tests were within the normal ranges. Thats the good news. So thryoid issues are ruled out as a cause and Vit A also. The bad news is: it will be back to the drawing board. I have a follow up appt with the dermatologist which should be interesting. I did not use the EpiCeram cream he prescribed because I read up on it and it said it will tingle for a few minutes when it is applied. I thought that was odd and don't want to have to deal with tingling. "Sticky Mess" I know you thought there was going to be a breakthrough and we were going to pin this down to a thyroid or Vit A issue. This is not the case. It may very well be our original guess that having an excess amount of yeast intake is the culprit for all of us. Afterall, Yeast is a big part of all our lives. To take the guess work out of the situation whoever wants to eliminate yeast completely (which is difficult especially if you love bread, cake etc. like me) would be able to see if the symptoms disappear. Before I decide to do this I am going to revisit the dermatologist in early December hope he will shed more insight into the cause. Maybe more tests of some sort?? Covering the problem up with cream is not a solution. Our skin needs to breath not be clogged up. Don't lose hope.
