So I was at the chiropractor today, again, yes, more money spent. But, one thing she did talk to me about today was my skin. Now, I've been dealing with blemished skin since I was 12 years old! So if I did the math correctly that's 15 years. Wow. Anyway, she then asked if I drink a lot of milk or eat alot of dairy. Ummm, yeah! I almost said, duh, but instead I said "Yes I do, is that good or bad?" don't say bad, don't say bad..., "I thought so." she says. Then she went in to how she thinks I might be allergic to dairy...ALL DAIRY! She said she has seen alot of people switch to a non-dairy diet and their skin changes drastically.
SO. Tomorrow I go dairy product free (I can have butter...). And, I stop drinking pop. Because she told me pop is poison, worse than smoking. Maybe that means I can start smoking again?? :) No, just a dream.
The other big thing is, I have to try it for at least two months to see results! Let's just say I'll be so upset if I'm not allergic to it, and nothing happens. But, like I told her, I've tried everything for my face, Proactiv, antibiotics, creams, different face washes, masks, lotions, steaming...so I think I can try this. If it works, it will be life changing for me really. To have clear skin is my BIGGEST dream ever. I know it may sound vain, but live with looking like you are going through puberty for, well, 15 years and we'll see what you say!!
So since this is my last day dairy free, I've had a huge glass of milk and a cinnamon roll for breakast, a salad with RANCH dressing -I'll have to switch to vinagrette, tomato soup made with milk, a concrete mixer from Culver's and a box of charleston chews...my favorite! It is like when I quit smoking for the 1st time :) I smoked almost a whole pack on the way to the hypnotist (he was only a half an hour away!). But, I've been smoke free :) for over 4 years now. And if I can quit smoking, I, Megan Marie Bergman, can quit dairy.
I hope.

I FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY started Accutane (this should have happened years ago!) and I'm in my 2nd month and I, for the first time in my life, LOOOOVVVVEEEE my skin. The oil is gone. Like GONE, GONE. And the cysts and blemishes are 99.999% gone. I can't get pregnant during treatment though, or I'll have mutant babies. ;)
Anyways, I really really really hope this non-dairy stuff works for you. Everyone is so different in the reasons they experience acne, and I know the way it affects people emotionally as well as physically. Keep me posted!
I pray this works for you and stay strong! NO SMOKING! :)
