Update

Been too long but here is what is going on. Suddenly my skin is so dry. I put lotion on and 10 minutes later it is dry and flaky everywhere. Did a 3 day purge on Dr. K's advice. Ate only fruit/veggies. That was this past Mon, Tue and Wed. Came off it yesterday. Today I've got that horrible itch again. It won't stop. I put on Eurciene all over my body... could that be it? I put in on my legs last night and have been putting it on my feet for the last few days. Can't imagine what in the world has made me so itchy today. Yesterday coming off my fast I had: coffee/cream, mushroom, spinach, artichoke sour cream omlet, dark chocolate, ceasar salad, olives on toast, swiss cheese and tomato soup with goldfish. Saw Dr. Markus the surgeon. He and I both agree it's probably a swollen lymph node from me itching so much. We are going to wait a couple of weeks (4/28) to operate and see if it goes away. Seeing Dr. Butler herblist/acupuncturist (sp?) on Monday and then Dr. Scumpia on Tuesday. And talking to Dr. Nutson, internest! Well I checked the weather and no changes this week of any significance. It's my torso and arms that are itching and my thighs a little! Will call Shaffer to see if it could be the lotion!
