hello everyone.. i'm hoping you guys might have some advice for me...
my body has been.. acting strangely for a while (about 2 months) and it's really freaking me out.
first off, my skin, which is normally pinkish/pale and combination/oily has become sallow and dry... i have noticeably yellowish patches around my mouth (upper lip mostly) and my eyes. i am also getting a lot more whiteheads and blackheads than normal for me.
in addition, i am having some strange mood swings. i'm normally a stable gal, and cry usually only when i'm physically hurt, but i find myself breaking down in tears for no reason. like it is not even triggered by a sad movie or anything.
i'm feeling slightly more lethargic than usual, too.. but i dont know if that is part of it. also, i havnt had a BM for around 4 days (do i need to describe my discomfort?i feel like an overfilled balloon...)
i'm 24, and i havnt really changed anything in the way i eat or how i take care of my skin.. so i really have no clue what is causing this.
has anybody had a similar experience?
if nothing else, anything ideas on what would make my face look less.. sickly.. would be fantastic

Re: misbehaving skin
Mon, May 11, 2009 - 11:35 AMThe change in skin tone, mood swings and lack of BMs could be the sign of something more serious. I would go to a doctor as soon as possible as opposed to trying to diagnose this on tribe.
In the meantime, maybe try some prune juice or milk of magnesia to get your system moving again. -

Mon, May 11, 2009 - 12:09 PMyes i agree with doctor as soon as possible...this sounds kinda serious. Another good thing that could get you regular again is Triphala..I like the planetary herbals brand and i use triphala gold. It is very cleansing. Also Doctor Schulze(www.herbdoc.com) has a product intestional formula #1 that is part of his intestional cleanse obviously and it is amazing for getting regular. i bring it on road trips since i tend to get backed up then and it keeps me flowin' . Also i have been reading alot about elder flowers and how good they are for the skin..if you make an infusion of the dried tea or fresh flowersand put it on your skin in a.m. and p.m. and leave it there it helps with skin erruptions. I hope you feel better soon and please keep us updated on your condition... especially when you see a doctor.
