Re: New sufferer

Thanks for you reply!

I'm trying to "hang in there", but it's really hard right now. It might get better over time, at least I hope so. At the moment, it's really hard to concetrate on things I used to like doing before getting EC. Most everything that was relaxing, like eating, taking a shower, exercising, kissing my wife (which right now isn't possible at all) etc. are now kind of or really hard. Also, I'm not sure what to eat anymore (guess I did read way too much about EC, Candida etc., which made me kind of paranoid.. :-)), so I've already lost a few kilos. Did you experience or are you experiencing the same/similar thing(s)?

What did your lips look like 7 months ago and how are they doing now? Similar to mine? Have you been experiencing the same dryness when talking?

I will see a naturopath in the future and will also make further appointments with my dermatologist (hopefully he'll understand that I don't want any hard chemicals on my lips..) and dentist.

Have you left your lips alone completely or did you moisturize them in any way?
