Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Hope it is the cause wingy and you make a complete recovery
As for the medical profession not totally being on top of everything, it's impossible for them. Not enough research or the capacity to know it all even if there was
Food labelling is dodgy. Some of them preservative numbers and/or names are things that I deal with in a lab environment. As you have found, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) often indicate some potentially nasty effects
Says a lot about the manufacturers of those products that they employ food chemists. Heaps of the work they do is not to ensure safety, but to enhance taste and consistency and reduce costs. Chemical preservatives and flavours are consistent in supply, quality and cost. Natural products are often not

First doctors sound a bit suss, you shouldn't be on topical steroids for that long without a response.
Sounds obvious, but what brand of sunscreen do you use?
One of my kids was getting rashes on their face and the backs of their hands and knees, we switched sunscreen and they disappeared in 2 days.
The Coles brand one with the orange label is recommended by most dermatologists and kid's groups.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Wingnut stop diagnosing yourself on the internet and see a dermatologist and a nutritionist.
Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
I'd back the preservatives as being the cause. I sometimes get a mild rash/dry skin in patches below & above the eyes when I eat certain foods with certain shitty preservatives or flavour enhancers. I couldn't tell you what ones but they certainly have an effect.Cut them out & there's a good chance you'll see a difference.
Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Beer doesn't do anything to me, aside from getting me pissed of course, but stuff like junk food that's loaded up with artificial flavours. MSG every time. Good way for me to work out which Asian food places use the stuff.
Come to think about it, shitty clear-glassed cold-filtered beer might do it if I remember correctly.

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
The body can throw up some real mysteries.
I've been getting weird dizzy / swimming head kind of episodes for a couple of years now. Sometimes it goes away for a few days, and it usualy only lasts a couple of hours but comes and goes, but it's only mild and doesn't stop me doing anything I want. Sometimes I wake up and my head is swimming in the middle of the night.
Been through all the standard doctor tests for the usual causes, nothing turned up.
I've just spent a couple of weeks in Indo, and didn't realise I'd had no head spins for 2 weeks until my first bowl of Weetbix and Allbran this morning, then within 30 minutes that old familiar feeling was back.
I'll be checking out that fedup website, thanks Wingnut.

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Sounds like your diet in Oz is either lacking something or too much of the processed preservatives and numbers in our food. Indo has fresh food with very little to no processed/preserved food. Do you eat alot of processed meat like ham etc when in oz. try cutting out as much processed food out of your diet as possible. Read the ingredients of everything you buy/eat and if it has a lot of numbers in it then don't buy it. Even bread. Get the no preservatives bread. Try to also get no preservative beer.
BTW the no preservative bread lasts longer than the preservative bread!!! Go figure!!

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
I'm going to experiment. I have Blueberries on my cereal, and that site says berries have a lot of salicylates, which can cause dizziness, it's a good place to start.
Health was so simple for the first 50 years, now it's a hobby.

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Back to the drawing board with this, vertigo returned today. Nah Don I don't eat processed meat, or drink beer. I'm diabetic, and extremely careful with diet, and reading labelling.

Re: Treat the CAUSE not the SYMPTOM
Corpses in the morgue have a longer shelf life because of the amount of preservatives ingested in the dear departeds lifetime.

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?
