Thanks cocoloraine, I am finding a low carb/low sugar diet is helping some things. Good luck to you! Lab tests show I likely have PCOS. I am trying to manage it naturally at this point, and feel gu...

Good luck, I hope so much that his helps you clear up! I have heard of this working for others. Going low sugar and low carb has not cleared me up, but eating a lot of sugar and carbs does seem to...

Saw a very helpful doc who is doing a bunch of blood work since I have a lot of auto-immune type issues going on. He says the derm I am seeing soon is one of the best in this area, so I am hopeful. ...

Still searching for my answer. I have two doc appointments set up this month and will be asking about possible issues with blood sugar, hormones, and sensitivities. Two nights ago, I went to someone...

Starting to figure this crap out. Blueberries (commercial, non-organic) again flared up my jaw this morning. Freaking synthetic chemicals man!   This would be huge if I can better control my h...

Jaw did not squelch again today until I drank water out of a plastic container that had heated up in the car. Has not flared up since even after eating tuna fish, a bit of BBQ chicken, and a hot fudg...

Maybe I am on to something with pesticides? Thouroughly washed and ate commercial blueberries this morning and my jaw squelched for about an hour. Ate organic peanut butter on organic celery....no s...

Some of the foods that seem to have bugged me (strawberries, potatoes, wheat, etc) are high in pesticides, including natural pesticides in the case of wheat. If everything goes through okay, my husba...

Still working on looking at what is going on with my body. Insulin resistance has been coming up in searches a lot, and ties to things like food allergies, so looking at that especially after having ...

Pretty clear today and jaw is not squelching. Some possible reasons: 1. Zinc and anti-histamines are doing something 2. ? 3. ? 4. Zebras 5. ? Discuss.

Jaw squelched all last night and this morning, but has stopped now at 1pm. At noon, I ate corn and molasses cereal with rice milk and a mango. May try Zantac to see if histamine is involved (threads...

Face has continued to heal nicely with no new cysts. Jaw has stopped squelching. Certainly wondering if strawberries are a food I have a reaction to, if it was something else that coincided with the...

Indian place has apparently closed down. Had Chinese food instead and my jaw started squelching not long after. It was a mishmash of ingredients, so not sure what or if the food was to blame.

Had explosion after explosion of cysts yesterday. Very, very large and painful. Hopefully the strawberries will be the culprit. I'm working on looking into histamines and also upping omega threes w...

Went to a neighbor's drum circle/fire dancing party last night and had a lot of fun despite having to bring all my cyst buddies along with me. Cysts just never take the hint that they aren't welcome....

Day 30: Cysts seem pretty tied to allergies, so I'm focusing on allergies of the food and environmental kind for now. I'll report back as I figure things out. Stopping the day count as it apparentl...

Day29: forgot my day-time allergy pill, and jaw is again terribly painful on both sides (usually only right side has tendonitis). Folliculitis is almost completely cleared, but more very painful and ...

Day 28: remembered my allergy pills, so no new cysts from the pits of the blackened bowels of the earth. Jaw is squelchy, but feels like a dream compared to yesterday.

Day 27: Forgot to take my Zyrtec yesterday and woke up to three very large, painful, red, and maidenly itchy large under the skin cysts. Two old cysts also became inflamed yet again. My jaw is kill...

Day 25: Seeing somemprovement finally, so leaving a note to that effect. Folliculitis has mostly been eliminated from the areas it normally is not found on me (cheeks, forehead, etc), and is improvi...

Day 22: Still have folliculitis, still have a squelchy jaw...this is getting rather repetitive, so I'll put this on hold until I actually see some change.

Day21: Folliculitis has become a permanent roommate that does not pay rent. It also eats m pizza out of the fridge and uses my laundry detergent. Jaw mostly squelchy today. Stress levels pretty hi...

Day 20: Folliculitus appears to be improving slightly. Jw was on and off today.   Food: -two eggs -pear -banana -green pepper -two huge bites of burger sans the gluteny buns of deliciousn...

Day 17: This folliculitus is really annoying. Tons of small dots come to little pus-filled heads, with some starting to form under the skin, and it seems to spread from central areas. I was thinking...

Day 16: No improvement in folliculitus. Plenty of under skin bumps too. Face is a mess! Jaw was not squelchy until this evening. Ate poorly today, stressed. It is weird going back to how I used ...
