update on progress
Its been almost 3 days since I started taking the EPO again - Im taking one in the morning and one at night ... my lips are great again - no peeling or chapping. I can laugh, eat, drink, etc ... for me, this has to be some kind of vitamin/mineral deficiency ... when I stopped taking the EPO my lips went back to being inflamed and peeling immediatley. I wish this remedy worked for everyone the way its working for me ... I can smile at work or talk and not feel like everyone is staring at me or that my lips are gonna crack and hurt. Like I stated prior, I never had the build up of the yellow extra skin .. mine was more like my lips peeled every couple of days. Id have one day of "normal" lips where they would be inflamed and be bright pink due to just peeling and then the other days they would peel, crack, and be tight/dry so that they would crack or burn if I smiled, etc. It was like an extra layer of "hardened" skin that constantly peeled off and never healed. If you guys have any questions please let me know. I suffered with this for almost 11 years so I really do know what you're all going through .... its tough and frustrating when others look at you and think that all you have to do is put on some chapstick or aquaphor and it'll help (which it doesn't) ... wish none of you had this problem. It affects social lives, self esteem, etc. Im gonnna keep taking the EPO two times a day and just pray that it continues to work and that my lips stay normal.... its been so long since I didnt have cracked, drying, or peeling lips (sometimes bleeding) and it feels good, finally!
