HI! So, after months of suffering from exfoliative cheilitis (chronic peeling and cracking of the lips) and burning mouth syndrome I finally decided to give the doctor a try again in August. This time I wanted to have a skin specialist. I had to wait all the way to last week, 7th of December, because they are so busy. The skin specialist took a peek at my lips and shone a light inside my mouth, told me everything looked just fine, and that my problem is called exfoliative cheilitis (as if I did not know) and that they basically were "out-treated". They had made a culture of my tongue which showed nothing, tried with antibiotics and fungicide, and tested my blood for vitamin deficiency, all to no avail. I have also had spontaneous nose bleeds the last few weeks, to which she not reacted at all but just shrugged her shoulders, and a rash all over my face combined with keratinous scales on my skin similar to the lips. But since it was gone by the time I visited the docto

HI! I finally decided that if I would wait for my motivation to come back to me it might be Christmas or New Year before I started again, and that would simply not do. I was really feeling the need for exercise. Especially after I had taken over the gym classes for a sick teacher one day and had so much fun doing that! So, last Saturday I grabbed my weights, my towel  and my yoga mat  and just went to work. I went back to my first programs. Here is what I did (just improvising).  tripleclicks.com Sports Yoga Gym Dance Non Slip Fitness Cotton Socks —  €6.88   (Save 15%!)

Hi! Some days ago I read a full page article in the paper about yeast infections and how to prevent them. Now the things that they mentioned in the article were ok, but to my surprise they had forgotten a number of things which are so logical for me that I can't understand why they did not write about it and as a matter of fact, a couple of days of searching the Internet leaves me wondering why not everyone knows about this. See, I had my first infection when I was 11 (yes, I was still a virgin) and was plagued by them at least once or twice a year until I was 30, when I found the way to prevent it. A yeast infection is characterized by itching, swelling, burning and irritation of the vagina. Sometimes a white discharge is noted. A yeast infection is NOT a sexually transmitted disease, however there have been cases where a woman was reinfected by her partner. It is usually cured by a vaginal pill or cream, Canesten or others. The cause of yeast infection is a yeast cal

HI! About a year ago, in November 2015, I developed cracked and peeling lips. Originally I thought it was because of the cold weather, although I have never had this before in 11 years of living in the Netherlands and 5 years of living in Sweden. But it did not disappear when I went back to the tropics for 5 weeks. I tried about a bucketful of different remedies. Finally in May I went to a doctor who analyzed some of the skin flakes that I kept peeling off (several cm2 a day!) and told me it was a fungus called Geotrichem, which is commonly found on your skin. No clue as to why it suddenly was a problem. I used Daktacort twice a day and it did kind of disappear over a 3-week period; however if I forgot the Daktacort for a day or two I would get it back. Since the beginning of October I have had it back in spite of continuous use of the Daktacort. Since it contains cortisone I have changed over to Daktarin which is a fungicide but with no cortisone. Last weekend it was so bad tha

Hi! After months of inactivity for various reasons (first a lung inflammation, then a long vacation in which I have been active but not really exercising, and then simply lack of motivation) I started running again last week. After my second run, however, I broke one of my toes. Not by running but by stumbling over a treshold. Yes, as stupid as that. So currently walking hurts, it even hurts when I am still. The toe is swollen stiff. So running is out of the question for the moment. However I realize this does not mean that I cannot exercise, so I am going to start by going back to the very first sets of exercises. Since I know that they are intensive but short it is easier to get up motivation then by doing something longer like a run.

Hi! As I have written in another  post  I suffered from exfoliative cheilitis for 8 months. This is a chronic peeling and cracking of the lips. I also had a sore mouth on the inside and as a result of that, most of the day a burnt tongue, which made it difficult to eat. Furthermore on some days the skin around my lips would be red, swollen and itchy. The condition is painful, unsightly and definitely causes misery for the victim.                 In the other post I wrote about all the different cures I have tried; they would half fill a bucket! Creams and oils and lip balsam  and vitamins  and fish oil  and calendula salve (which did help a bit).

Hi! As an alternative to the intense workout program I occasionally run, although I am far from a runner at heart. I started around 2 years ago, kind of by accident, and have since then been running regularly. One problem which has been plagueing me is a hip injury. I injured the hip probably by working in the garden but then the running made it worse and I developed an imbalanced step to compensate for the pain. Eventually I could not run anymore.  Months later when I finally visited a doctor he diagnosed bursitis, an inflammation of the little fluid-filled sac on top of the leg bone which is supposed to cushion it. I received a cortisone injection directly into it, which is not something I want to repeat, but it did help.  tripleclicks.com Massage Cream Relief Pain In Muscles And Joints Essential Oils Muscle Pain Ointment Essential Oil —  €10.94   (Save 9%!)
