Wednesday 20 January

Told you it wouldn’t take me long to get back on form.  Went to gym and worked really hard – did a 1.5mile warm up on cross trainer and then did 45 mins weight training.  When I returned i had a 2 egg omlete with onions in it and then rushed out with my husband to collect a few things.

We kind of nipped into the pub and had 2 pints of real ale and some pork scratchings – not the best but there you go.  After I was flushed and face was stinging slightly with a burning sensation.

I had contacted the doctors and queried whether I should not be taking zinc – on the information leaflet that was in the Oxytetracycline box it did have instructions not to take with certain things – milk was one of them too.  So I have been taking my vitamins at lunchtime – but I was concerned that I was not improving skin wise and wondered if it was because of this.  She asked why I was taking vitamins, I advised it is to support the skin and health and she said that’s what the antibiotics are for – well they don’t supply any goodness as such!!!  She suggested that I stop taking all vitamins for a month and see how I get on – what I shall do is stop the zinc and the multivitamin and continue with the Burdock root, omega 3, evening primrose and see how we go on from there.

For tea i simply had some potato and sweet potato wedges and some hoola hoops.  By the time I went to bed my skin had calmed down a bit.
