Hi all and especially Lucille and Lora, Kacha here. Interesting posts both of you.
Lora, yes I have changed location about a half a year ago and noticed a slight improvement in stickyness over this period of time.... But I dont think that the water is the full issue here, but I think you should try changing heater anyhow, I totally get that, just to rule it out. Hard to tell why my symtomes i s a little bit better , it could be the water could be anything.
I also have extremely cracked lips, sensitive to sun. Just as you say the bottom lip is worse. ( got worse after tretment with high doses vitamin B's though so b vitamins doesnt seem to be the issue for me, alternately my uptake of the supplement was bad too) I also have a very difficult stomach and I definetely think my uptake is being disturbed on alot of nutrients. For me I know I have been extremely low in omega 3, potassium and cholesterol, ( a coulple of years ago I took the tests now) and as I understand it we need cholesterol for production of hormones...atleast my gyneachologist told me that. Lucille I also think that hormones is involved for atleast some of us. Do you know why your cortisol levels bottom out? Do you know what levels are optimal?...I was in a study for people with IBS (a stomachdisease) and they checked my cortisole levels then, and I think they were high but never got the results printed out for me since it was a sciencestudy.....I tried getting an investigation of my other hormone levels a couple of years ago, I was concerned with my preogesteron levels beeing low , just a hunch, and read alot abot that, since I had many other symtomes that I thought might have something to do with hormonal imbalance. My gyneachologist was the one who said that my low cholesterol could be an issue.
To wrap it up I think diffrent water can make a little difference, but It seems unlikely it is causing it, I do have a suspicion towards plastic components from pipes etc, that may bee in the water, but unfortunately if you don't have your own well I guess it s very hard to avoid) also people, I just remembered about reading a swedish report about dental materials, plastic fillings ALWAYS leak bisphenol A even tough it's been said that when the materials harden they dont leak....but they do! Bisphenol A and other components in plastic are hormondisruptors. My bets guess for now is: Chemichals causing hormonal dysfunction/imbalance/overproduction/underproduction etc..., telling skin to produce or build up in a wrong way?
Keep posting sticky sisters!
