Re: My new plan to deal EC. Help is needed .

Appreciate your input. I want to chime in some things in case people want to read through and this is also something like a timestamp for myself.

3. Hot climate again. I guess I truly am an outlier in this forum with this since I got mine in a tropical country. I've also talked to 3 other fellow Filipinos through the net who have this and they also state that they "were healthy and it suddenly came out of nowhere". Like in my case, I also asked if they were under stress or Depression and all 3 said yes too, 2 were lip pickers though and one was just "applying lip balm from time to time". Wow, sounds a lot like my case, huh.

4. Tergot how do you get your protein btw? A vegan diet as far as I know has limited protein. I only started taking protein shakes (both whey and casein) coincidentally the time I got EC. I was suspecting they *could* be related, but again with this condition it's pretty annoying that I can't really say for sure. I mean whey and casein are just milk byproducts, and bodybuilders take a shitload of protein powders too, so could this mean that I'm an outlier again if protein shakes were -indeed- the cause? I definitely researched a lot before taking them, brands and all that, and it wasn't gradual either, it was like 2-3 months after taking them that I "suddenly" woke up with a whitening, peeling bottom lip. I must say though that the sudden drying/chapping happened months prior to taking supplements and as I've read here before, Daniel Miller and jsl123 speculated that the -sudden- drying or chapping of the lips was already EC and that the peeling and whitening was just the final stage.

7. Appreciate the advice, although like many things, it's easier said than done. I remember saying a few months before to motivate myself to the gym that "nothing is impossible". What true words, a condition like this is something I thought was impossible nor even existed in the first place.
