Re: rash and temper

[Guest guest]

Based on my experience - YES!

I had killer PMS 2 weeks before my period and was generally irritable

at all times while I was rapidly losing weight. And Yes, I kept a

bumpy rash on my chest and along my hairline on my face for as long

as I was losing.

When the rapid weight loss slowed my mood improved and the rash went

away. I still have bad PMS though.

Hang in there! It will get better. It just may get worse before it

gets better. I tried antidepressants and they were not effective. I

went into counseling for a while - that helped a bit - mostly just to

vent.

There is much discussion on the rash. For me, it was a Vitamin A

deficiency and responded to supplementation with beta carotene.

Meanwhile, before I had my A tested, I used a steroid cream to calm

it down.

Kathy,

Are you on anti-depression meds? When I had the DS w/Dr. K in

February, I was on Effexor. On it, I become very, very lethargic.

My pcp changed me to Lexapro about a month ago ... I have lost the

lethary, but have started becomming easily irritable (over really

simple, petty stuff). I could be wrong, but in my case, I equate

lethargy and irritability (along with the " weepy-factor " )with

depression.

It's something you might think about.
