Thank you both. I have started taking L-carnitine and will look into where I can source kefir and wheatgrass. Time, energy and money are all at a bare minimum, but I'm planning to speak to the derma...

Hi ramblinrose and kcr, thanks for your comments. Yes Mirena definitely did it for me, after my skin being not clear but tolerable, the coil sent it into a nightmare. Had it taken out over a year ago...

Hi Pinky_shushu - until a couple of weeks ago I was taking B complex 100, which had 100mg pantothenic acid in it. Have now switched to a multivitamin that has 25mg, but still taking the B complex on ...

Thanks, "thisisnothollywood" and Katy, I wish I had more positive results to report that could help others too!   Katy, Dianette is combined - progesterone and estrogen, which I cannot take as I ...

Well, 3 months have gone by and I am still no further on, so reluctantly decided to give conventional medicine another try and went back to the doctor, who tried to put me on the progesterone contrace...

I have this too - all over my chin. I assumed it was scars resulting from my 24 years of acne (worst on my chin). I am still not clear, so can't try anything to get rid of them yet. Have had micro...

FSAS - have you tried seeing a herbalist or naturopath? I did the elimination diet but had no results from it. Been a seeing a herbalist for 2 months now, and found that herbs + diet together makes ...

Hi Jason I do find that ideally I need to eat about every 2 hours otherwise I can feel myself going downhill energywise. I work in a school though, so it's not usually possible to eat and drink whe...

Very interesting, thanks for this. There I was feeling pleased with my wheat, dairy and sugar free diet, only to discover that my new daily, healthy spinach, avocado, nuts, pulses, cocoa (raw & s...

Thanks for the comments. I have never made a green smoothie, they just sound horrible, so I haven't been brave enough to try one yet. I'll have to give it a go. What greens do you use? Lettuce type...

Thanks Jason. I already struggle to get through the day as I feel tired all the time. I think if I ate less it would affect me (by lunch time I am already starting to feel faint, I need to eat som...

Thanks, Simi and Jason. Interesting observations re water, Simi. I live in a hard water area, and have permanent mineral deposits building up all round my taps, so that could be a factor. I have h...

He describes his field as "natural, herbal and asyra bioenergetic medicine". It seems to be a kind of digital homoepathy, so whereas tradtional homoeopathy uses substances diluted at levels so low th...

Hi Peony Yes I am in the UK. Interesting point you make about the pcos and cysts, I hadn't realised you could have one without the other! My blood tests showed my oestrogen and progesterone were rev...

Thanks cvd and Liz I would really like to see a dermatologist but my dr keeps putting me off. I have to go another month on the topical erythromycin/tretinoin before she will see me again. The der...

Thanks Liz - I didn't go for the total cut out of gluten, I just tried wheat initially. Have to say after seeing no change and getting fed up of being limited, today when I was at work and the chocol...

Thanks Alexisc and Liz I have just found that there is a new herbalist started up in my area, he does allergy testing too (though it is the alternative med style machine rather than blood tests), so...

Thanks for your replies, Gia and Alexisc I had read about candida as a cause, but tried so many supplements on and off that I lost hope. I had read that cutting out wheat, dairy and sugar worked fo...

Thanks, that's a name I have seen mentioned a few times. I don't even have a dermatologist, every time I go to the dr they just tell me to try something else. Last time I went my dr said they are re...

As the heading suggests, I am at a total loss of what to do next and would welcome any suggestions. I've read around so many pages on the web that I just feel confused as to where to go next, but I c...
