Debbie, I'm glad to read that you are feeling better. Are you keeping a diary of how you feel? Since Covid-19 is so new, I know lots of folks want to track the long term impact on their health. Good luck!

@Stacy have you tried Coke Zero with no sugar? I never drank diet coke because I think it tasted horrible but Coke Zero is fantastic. I know soda isn't a good choice in general, but as a treat, it is a good choice for me after I've got my daily water intake covered.

I cut out sugar and grains for the last 11 months and I am impressed with the results. I don't itch anymore! I'm also taking meds so it isn't all the diet, but I can definitely see a difference in the shape of my body and in my digestion too.

Joe - I am happy for you and a little jealous that you have a pool to enjoy. Someday I'll live with regular access to a pool. Enjoy the water.

Alan - that's exactly how it should be!

Debbie, please keep us updated on this situation.

David - how's it going with the stress relief?

I have strong allergic reactions (swelling lips/tongue/throat) and both US vaccines have caused allergic reactions so right now I'm ok to be low on the list for folks getting inoculated. I haven't heard about the impact of immunosuppressive drug use and vaccines. There are so many variables here.

I generally don't drink and when I do I haven't noticed any issues.

I don't think my psoriasis is the reason I'm single, but it definitely is a factor in my personal confidence.

I don't know how I didn't think of this! I have some and will start using it topically.

Thanks for your concern, Pat. If I ever decide to jump into the dating pool again, I will keep that in mind.

Tom - that is a lot of weight to lose so quickly! I've been living keto since February and have found it to be rather easy to adjust to. I've lost half of what you have and am very pleased so far. I'm still waiting for some of the health benefits to be more obvious.

I am enjoying the vicarious thrill of your seaside adventure! Please share - what is your favorite thing you've eaten so far?

What an exciting adventure! Good luck.

Thank you, Michelle. I believe that the love of my life is still out there in the world. I hope he find me sooner than later!

Chris - I haven't been on it long enough to know if it works, but so far no side effects. Both my mom and sister take it. My mom for 20+ years credits it with putting her rheumatoid arthritis in remission.

Lady - self acceptance is an ongoing challenge for so many of us. Self love comes next. I wish you ease in your journey.

Randy - looks can fade and be deceiving. I'd much rather be complimented for being smart, funny and compassionate, but thanks.

It is so great to find the thing that works for you! Congrats.
