I take a B-12 injection (I've heard possibilities that this can cause it?) I've also stopped taking birth control last June so my husband and I can try to have a baby. As a teen and through my 20's I'd never had an acne problem and now all of a sudden I do and it's so embarrassing! I've tried a few products (even for sensitive skin) and my skin has an allergic reaction. It's very oily so I make sure to wash it twice a day but I wonder if I should wash it in the middle of the day. After a couple of hours my skin is very oily again. I use a combination/oily Oil of Olay soap and I like it. I follow it with an astringent for sensitive skin and it helps but not much.

So I'm wondering if instead of targeting acne if I should try to target the oily face. Home remedies or *cheap* products would be most greatful. I'm not in a position to spend a great deal of money and I don't have insurance but I may be able to arrange a Dr.'s appointment if it seemed promising, however I'd wind up paying for the prescription on my own.

Thanks!

My skin is so dry since it's gotten chillier out and the constant itchiness is driving me insane. My whole body itches - legs, sides and breasts mostly. I do take hot showers but that's because I have fibromyalgia and it's the only thing that really gives me any temporary relief from pain.

I don't want to hear "use lotion." Because my skin is so dry it burns badly and doesn't provide any relief from the itching.

What I am wanting to know is if there is any home remedy or an inexpensive product that I could use either topically or soak in the bath.

Thank you.

I take a shot of B-12 (1cc) a week. I have a deficiency - my body doesn't absorb it from the food I eat or from pills. Therefore, i take a shot. This was figured out (finally) during the last month I had insurance. My levels were very low. (222 blood test) I have been taking it weekly for about 6 months now. I know I will need to take it for the rest of my life but the goal was to get to once a month. I also know I need a blood test to find out how often to take it next but I can't afford. I've been told by a nurse that you will pee out the excess and it is OK if I have excess because of that.

About 2 months ago I began feeling more energy and a lot better. About a month ago (or month and a half) I began not falling asleep. It takes me hours and I was just curious if this could be the culprit.

I would like to learn more about my birthday. I was born May 21, 1983 at 9:05 PM in Lafayette, Indiana.

I believe I'm on the cusp but frequently see my birthdate listed as both taurus and gemini. i also believe I see a little bit of both in me.

I can be quite stubborn at times, I'm a procrastinator. I enjoy learning and I consider myself to be an artist in my spare time.

Any info would be greatly appreciated :)

I have a horrible time trying to sleep at night. I've been using advil PM and such for the past week but I'm afraid I'm becoming addicted and I would really rather not be dependent on it.

Every night it takes me hours to fall asleep - even with a sleep aid. I've taken Nyquil, Advil PM and Tylenol PM. I have no insurance, so I can't just run to the Dr. I have a B-12 deficiency and take a shot weekly (1cc). I have fibromyalgia and am on Lyrica and also anti depressants.

It takes me several hours to fall asleep. I can sleep during the day, but I don't do it because I don't want to hinder my night time sleep so I've stopped it altogether for months now.

I do have stress in my life- adoption that didn't go through and an ex who owes thousands in support and lies continuously. Happy marriage, happy little boy. Work is good and happy too. Some financial difficulties but we're making ends meet.

Poor eating habits - I struggle with veggies, I hate them :( I stopped drinking Coke but I do drink sweet tea.

I write down anything I'm afraid of forgetting or else I'll never go to sleep. I keep a fan on me because I'll get hot otherwise and I need the sound. It's dark in my room.

I'm tired of waking up tired. The more exhausted I am, the more pain I am in from the fibromyalgia. I really need my sleep but I just can't get it. I can be dead tired but I"ll still lay there for hours. I also have restless leg syndrome which gets annoying. Sometimes I"ll be on the verge of sleep and I'll jerk back awake.

Any tips would be so wonderful and appreciative. I tried to give all necessary information I could think of.
