You might try some folic acid or a B complex. The chemo is stressing you out. That's why so many vitamin concoctions say "Stress Tabs" or whatever; they have extra Bs. (The body uses up B vitamins in times of stress--the normal amounts may not be sufficient.) I wouldn't take a multi-vitamin unless your doctor advises it (K might interfere with chemo)--but some extra B in the form of nutritional yeast or brewer's yeast is harmless and very good for the diet. I sprinkle nutritional yeast on my popcorn and now prefer it to anything else. <BR/><BR/>And if that qualifies as preaching, sorry, but I can't restrain myself. :P <I>If I didn't care, I wouldn't say anything.</I> And believe me, plenty of people I <I>don't</I> care about. ;)<BR/><BR/>Also, you might try NEEM lotion for the irritation; it's the most amazing thing for skin in the entire world. The only negative is it smells a bit like Citronella, which I don't like. (I have one customer currently on chemo, also using it, and rave reviews.) <BR/><BR/>My aunt told me about the pubic hair already!Daisy Deadheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993200276152025235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-62539456595364410342008-11-07T06:57:00.000-06:002008-11-07T06:57:00.000-06:00I agree with diva.I agree with diva.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-13488999182252363832008-11-07T05:06:00.000-06:002008-11-07T05:06:00.000-06:00You realise that your humour about these "unmentio...You realise that your humour about these "unmentionable" things makes you more attractive than ever !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-62201172698834006792008-11-07T00:33:00.000-06:002008-11-07T00:33:00.000-06:00I hope the evil pimples go away with no worry or i...I hope the evil pimples go away with no worry or infection or whatnot.<BR/><BR/>Ahhh, thats why they stop walking...learn something new every day!Renegade Evolutionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905949172886730262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-86151985352306137832008-11-07T00:02:00.000-06:002008-11-07T00:02:00.000-06:00Could the pimples be ingrown hairs?

(I think.)<BR/><BR/>Most of the people I have known closely for any length of time have some medical issues or other that involves stuff that isn't polite dinner conversation. It isn't so much a question of whether you or someone close to you goes through it, but when. And at that point, you have to deal with physical things that don't fit the norm.<BR/><BR/>I long ago decided that the norm is actually pretty disgusting by itself. I mean, all of us have slime we carry around with us all the time, and just talking to someone involves opening this slime-infested orifice and blowing air out of it.<BR/><BR/>Did I mention I'm great fun at cocktail parties?bobvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11498316988120125641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-56944564317550660942008-11-06T21:27:00.000-06:002008-11-06T21:27:00.000-06:00Well, it's an obvious question.
