Hello all from a relative newbie!
I am wondering what peopele think of the whole mind over matter as a method of combatting p.
After having an immense breakout in May, I have been desperate to find a cure and have been willing to try anything. I am someone who will shun most western meds because after having p since the age of 7, I don't see the point of pumping my body full of drugs to end up where I am now - which is no better off! I am prone to accept a bit of UVA/UVB in times of need, i.e. now (been waiting weeks for a referral but that's another link!) but other than that have shifted to the land of alternative meds for the most part.
After my mum has been banging on about the wonders of hypnosis and self relaxation, I was desperate enough last week to give it a go and I swear to god it is working. For the past week I have spent any ((:b ((:btime in the bath concentrating on seeing my skin clear ( I have set myself the goal of hol in September to be clear) and before I go to bed I have been imaging myself as p free for a good 15-20 mins, convincing myself that my p is going. I know I sound mad, but I am the least tree hugging hippy you will come across, and it has taken me a good 7 years of convincing for me to even give this a try.
I am prob at the mo' about 40/50 % covered but all the patches have started to be less red and much smoother, this is the second day that I haven't had to moisturise twice a day.
I may be a fool for asking, but am I mad?
