Salad Diet

Raw food is said to have a detoxifying effect. Sleep also has healing effects.

Been sleeping better (with Antihistamine help) and eating mainly raw food for the last three days seems to have eased the itchiness. Have got the seedlings in to grow my own veggies for the summer.

I now believe I had blown out my system a little with the consumption of 5 mars bars. Going to have to find a substitute diet when running marathons.......since the aim is to do one a month!

Struggling.....

Decided the change in weather from UK's cold weather to Rome's hot weather was the factor in keeping me itchy. This in turn caused sleep deprivation from trying to control the itch. Sometimes I try to hold out as long as possible before taking an anti-histamine.

Last weekend I did a marathon and ate 5 large mars bars. Okay was not the wisest thing to do but it was all I had to keep tiredness and hunger at bay. This may have ODed my poor liver. Have had one itchy week and poor sleep. Last night I decided for the next 3 days to take 1/2 an antihistamine before sleep just so I know I will sleep and that the skin could rest.

So weather change somehow has an effect on my system as well as being slack on my diet!
I will return to a salad diet to clean out the system.....

New Sights New Sounds Bad Skin

I have landed in Rome and after a day I am itchy.

I cannot seem to calm it down and it is starting to stress me a little. My skin is almost healed and it is now taking a back step. I think it is thru change in diet and weather, and perhaps even the soap the bed linen is washed in. So no more eating out, am going to have to settle for supermarket shopping and some fresh greens.

Taking an antihistamine now. :o(
