Hi all,
I think we all suffer from dry skin etc. I suffered with dry scalp for years
until I found that using T-GEL shampoo. It cleared it up within a week. I do
not use any conditioner.
I suffer, like everyone here who takes medicine that causes dry mouth And it
seems every medicine I take does it. We don’t sweat (at the C-5 level anyway)
and our skin does not have the capability of generating its own oils.
After 25 years my teeth have fallen out of my head. Lately I have been
prescribed massive amounts of vitamin D to help with The Loss of Calcium.
Recently, I find my fingernails are falling out (I should stop biting them to
shorten them) but I think it’s from a lack of some nutrient in the body.
Hope this helps
Billy
