Re: Plz show to your derm

Ahhhh....look I'm not trying to be an ass, but I’m about 6 hours away from having a BS in psychology (and another degree)...anything is possible, but based on everything we’ve learned over the years, I’d be absolutely amazed if this thing was purely psychological in nature—so amazed in fact, that I might actually bet an enormous gold bar if I had one. If it was as simple as having happy thoughts, why would it have persisted during the first few months, when I paid almost no attention to my lips and was plenty happy? I’ll bet you a second, even more enormous gold bar that the next time you get a cut, and barring some random quantum fluke, you can’t make a persistent crust form and then cycle for literally years, no matter how much you try to think it into existence.

I’m really not trying to be mean, I promise; it’s just that I don’t want to, at best, instill false hope in people and, at worst, discourage any efforts aimed at uncovering the root cause of our problem. Hell, I don’t even care about the root cause anymore, I’d be happy with simply finding a solution.
