Hi, found your post and I'm haven't slept any so I'm still impaired, but here goes...for my face I get something really cheap from the health food store, comparitively speaking....it's called Egyptian Magic...

I got it cause someone told me it was good for burns, scratches, other skin flare-ups, zits, etc...so I just started using it for a night cream...It's got a lot of gobblety-gook copy on the label....that ancient mystics used it while they were conjuring up vestal virgins or whatever, blah, blah, blah...but I tell you, even though it's a bit greasy, it works for dry skin...and even though it's greasy, not much comes off on the pillow it's weird, it stays on your face, maybe the mystics keep it there, ha ha!

...it's olive oil, bee pollen (if youre allergic to bees prob wouldnt chance it, i'm not allergic) Royal Jelly, etc... usually Royal Jelly products are quite expensive, so this is really pretty good for the price...

For my body, I use Alba Very Emollient Body Lotion...it's really one of the best of tried, and i've tried many, many of them...you can get it scented or unscented...

You can by it at the health food store for like 15 bucks for 8oz, if you want to do that, go ahead that's a way to just try it, they might even have smaller bottles. If you do like it...forget the health food stores, get it off the internet at various places that sell it, one gallon (that will last you forever) for like 38 bucks...it's got all kinds of great stuff, safflower, aloe vera, green tea, chammomile, sesame, grape seed, cumcumber, sea kelp extract, lavender, Vit E, Lecithin, all kinds of good stuff...

Adrenals probs are notorious for not coming up on tests unless they are shot and you have some horrible adrenal disease...they just don't have good markers for them yet...even the endo guy told me that...so I just eat really well and rest when ever I can..if youre working, or doing something, rest after, you don't have to sleep, but rest, kinda like you've been on treatment...baby yourself...and don't flat out do something that whips up the adrenals for along time without stopping, that really taxes them...name of the game is to relax and do relaxing things when you can, which is pretty obvious I know...

da Sie eine Deutshe Frau sind, wissen Sie bereits, un warme Bader, dann Kalte Dushe zu nehman...lieben Sie zu ihnen und kummern Sie um selbst...

Thanks. And, yes, it's time to get your butt in gear and get tested :)

I did try Prevacid, and Aciphex, and Nexium and...

Nexium worked best for me, but I'm pretty much off PPI's at least for now. Still have to watch what I eat but things are a lot better. Thanks for thinking about me.

Still...you have to remember to pick up the pack twice a day...same thing as picking up the "bottle" twice a day.

It's the darn "twice a day" that gives me trouble sometimes you know?  Thank God it's not more often then that!
